RPS Louse was a pseudonym used by one of the site's writers for a joking article which mimicked an anonymous blog post from a game developer.
In 2004, an anonymous author published a blog post under the name 'EA Spouse', in which they criticised the labour practices at Electronic Arts. It was one of the first widespread discussions of crunch culture in video game development. In 2010, 'RPS Louse' made joking allegations about the conditions of working at Rock Paper Shotgun in a single article published on the website.
