How long have you been a Eurogamer reader for? Let me put that another way: how many different Eurogamer editors do you remember? The site has been around for a long time now – 25 years this week – so there have been a few different sets of hands at the tiller. I ask because, well, I’ve gathered those editors together again for a very special anniversary podcast, which you can watch and listen to right now.
With me on the podcast are Eurogamer’s originating editor John Bye, better known to some as Gestalt, who edited the site from its foundation in 1999 through to 2002. Then we have Kristan Reed, who took over in 2002 and ran the site through to 2008, before passing the baton to Tom Bramwell who led through to 2014. Then Oli Welsh steered Eurogamer from 2014 to 2021, before Wesley Yin-Poole took over. Unfortunately Martin Robinson and Tom Phillips – our more recent editors – were unable to join because they were at Gamescom when we recorded.
We also have Ellie Gibson on the podcast, who was a hugely influential voice and personality on the site, and also briefly editor of it, in 2011.
