==Career with the Millennials==
In his first few seasons with the Millennials, Games was notoriously unreliable on and off the field. He was known for frequently arriving to practice late and leaving early, as well as tricking teammates into showing up at the wrong place or time in an effort to make himself appear less irresponsible in comparison. When asked to comment on this behavior, teammate Winnie Mccall said, “Yeah he sucks, but I’ve been using his credit card to Plostmates fancy gum for years and he’s never said anything. Plus I think he’s paying for the entire apartment? I’m not really sure how any of that works.” Following their soul swap at the end of Season 2, Games’s practice attendance improved slightly. Their inherited wealth continued to be a frequent source of conflict between Games and teammate Schneider Bendie, despite the fact that they both agree that people just shouldn't worry about money so much.
Games made repeated vocal objections to what they considered to be the more onerous parts of the Millennials contract, in particular the requirement for the entire team to live on one shared apartment. Rumors that they owned a secret second apartment on Glamercy Park were never able to be confirmed. However, Games ultimately came to enjoy his team-mandated side hustle as a fashion reseller. Their love of striking vintage pieces from the '70s and contemporary designers like Raf Simmons led to an extensive wardrobe, which reportedly began reselling after feeling guilty about keeping their beauty in a dark closet.
==Joining the Shoe Thieves and Acquiring Grappling Hook==
Shortly after joining the Charleston Shoe Thieves, Richardson Games made his first reported foray into theft by stealing teammate Esme Ramsey's accursed grappling hook. When asked why, Games only shrugged and said, “I wanted a grappling hook.” He then proceeded to vehemently deny that any part of the theft was motivated by a need to “show off” or “prove himself.” 
After the conclusion of Season 9, reporters and teammates alike noticed that the hook had somehow taken the place of Games’s right arm. Games assured interviewers that this body modification was entirely intentional and normal, and that they, of course, knew exactly what they were doing. Games repeated this sentiment during Season 10 after the hook began seemingly involuntarily shooting from their arm to consume the blood of opponents. Games was at one point overheard in the Shoe Thieves locker room muttering “can you boost my [expletive] batting stat for chrissake” directly into the hook itself, although no conclusions regarding the sentience of the hook can be drawn from this, as Games’s defensive ability proceeded to reach a record-breaking 8 stars. When asked for a comment, Ramsey stated simply, “it wouldn’t have bit his arm if he’d fed it."
==Season 9 - Dead Weight Fears and Boss Fight==
At the outset of season 9 Games had the lowest primary star rating on the Shoe Thieves, making them vulnerable to incineration if the team were to win the “Dead Weight” blessing. Despite publicly claiming he wasn’t worried about it, Games was said to be spending a considerable amount of time in the Choux Stadium batting cages. He ultimately led the team in overall batting average that season, achieving a career high (excluding the season the Millennials had Fourth Strike). During his first at bat on Day X against the Peanut God, he hit a triple, setting up teammate Velasquez Alstott to hit him in for their signature Richardson Games Scores On The Sacrifice combo play, scoring the first and only run for Shoe Thieves against THE SHELLED ONE'S PODS. These accomplishments, however, had no impact on Games’s star-rating. It is unclear whether his extensive blood siphoning in season 10 was a deliberate effort by either him or the grappling hook to protect against future similar blessings. 
==Personal Life==
Richardson Games is married to fellow Shoe Thieves player Cornelius Games. The two are both notoriously private, and do not often talk about their marriage. Regardless, a few more details can be gathered.
<choose uncached="">
<option>The couple married for "tax purposes" after a year of close friendship, according to an anonymous source. Shortly after their first anniversary, however, Cornelius was overheard telling then-teammate Workman Gloom that feelings had inadvertently blossomed forth, and they were "giving romance a shot."</option>
<option>Despite starting out in the league on separate teams, the pair kept their relationship fresh through sustained banter on the field. Teammate Esme Ramsey is quoted as saying "I'm glad they're on the same team now, having to play with Corny's 'romantic snark' in the background was driving me up the wall."</option>
<option>The couple seem to have grown steadily further and further apart in the past few years. According to an anonymous source, their relative stubbornness and emotional constipation is what continues to prevent either of them from seeking marriage counseling or divorce.</option>
<option>During the first three seasons, it was theorized that the rivalry between the Millennials and the Thieves was putting a strain on the couple's relationship. Fans and teammates reported that they were not often seen together, and that when asked about their partner either of the two Gameses would adopt a sour expression and change the subject. After Richardson' transfer, however, their relationship appears to be on the up and up. The two were seen renewing their vows at Sunken Charleston's Drive-Thru Wedding Venue, Bar, and Grille during . The flower girl, a then-two year old Velazquez Alstott, threw rose petals in the reporter's face when asked for a comment.</option>
<option>When asked about their marriage the pair frequently give wildly varying and outlandish answers, prompting some to theorize that rumors of marital issues –or perhaps their entire relationship– has all been a distraction to divert attention away from the group’s various heists.</option>
<option>The Games’ famously hot and cold relationship has been apparently on the rocks since shortly after Cornelius founded the Shoe Thieves. In recent seasons the couple has been spotted publicly interacting more, although it is unclear if this new civility will lead to meaningful reconciliation.</option>
