8Bit/Digi is an independent news outlet dedicated to providing insight into the video game industry, community, and fandom culture of the San Francisco Bay Area. Based in San Jose, the heart of Silicon Valley, the site was founded in late 2015 by Stan Rezaee, then a student at Cal State East Bay, as a destination for retro games and reviews. Since then, we have evolved to highlight the thriving community of Bay Area gamers, cosplayers, anime fans, and broader pop culture fandoms. Our coverage spans trade expos, video game and anime conventions, panels on emerging trends, cosplay gatherings, and swap meets. We strive to be the leading source of news for Bay Area gamers and cosplayers.
