“We know a lot of you around the world are currently using Discord to keep in touch and perform daily tasks from keeping up with classes to working from home. We want to help make your world a little less stressful.

“We’ll keep this limit up wihle it’s most critically needed. Please have patience with us as performance issues may arise in streams with a large number of people.”

Steve Wright

Steve is the founder of Stevivor, which itself is a combination of ‘Steve’ and ‘Survivor’ -- that made more sense back in 2001 when Steve first arrived in the country and Jeff Probst was up in Queensland. The site started as Steve’s travel blog before transitioning over into video games.

Aside from video games, Steve has interests in hockey and Star Trek, playing the former and helping to cover video games about the latter on TrekMovie.com. By day, Steve works as the communications manager of the peak body representing Victorians as they age.

Steve has recently gathered a career's worth of writing on swright.au, his personal portfolio.
