Sergio Salvador

Sergio Salvador is a full-time consultant, leadership lecturer and coach, father and husband. He is aiming to defend his dissertation on power and privilege in American dystopian literature in 2026. With almost three decades in the gaming industry under his belt, and having done almost every job in it one can think of, he is still a freelance journalist writing about his videogaming passions, which increasingly tend to fall under the “retro” category. He unashamedly confesses to having purchased a Steam Deck primarily to play old arcade games on a 55″ TV (Golden Axe!!!). He is European by birth, but has lived in Asia for two decades.

Echoes of Steel: Dublin Dreams, Clan Wars, and the Evolving Legacy of MechWarrior 5: Clans

May 14, 2025 by Sergio Salvador Leave a Comment

The year was 1995. Dublin, a city steeped in history and a vibrant, sometimes bewildering, new world for a young exchange student like myself, became an unexpected gateway to the far-flung battlefields of the 31st century thanks to the city’s many warm and welcoming bookshops.
