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.<\/p>\n

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.
