Hey everyone,
15 years ago, I went for a job interview at a small office in Brighton and quickly discovered I was the only one wearing a suit. After years running a Nintendo fansite, I was keen to join a larger team and learn from the very best in the business, whose footsteps I hoped to follow.
My first job on Eurogamer was one that no longer exists – it largely involved returning preview discs at the local post office – and I distinctly remember then-Eurogamer editor Tom Bramwell reminding me during my interview that I wouldn’t actually be writing on the website. I nodded along, and thought, well, let’s see.
I’ve always believed in, and will always be proud of, Eurogamer’s mission and place in the increasingly-turbulent world of video games – one that has held fast due to its firm foundations of trustworthy reporting, definitive reviews, and quality critical opinion. It’s these values which drew me to Eurogamer back then, and which I know will continue long after I log off for a final time today.
