From my viewpoint, I am eager to encourage change as a path to success. We stay 100% dedicated to our pledge to ship extra of the Eurogamer you need, which I consider to be distinctive, unique work that may be a combination of good reporting and high quality writing on the video games and matters that matter most to you.
