Well hi, hello and how do you do? I’m new here, so please don’t bite.
Okay, so I’m not exactly new around these parts – my 11th anniversary is going to quickly roll around later this year, and I’m sure a fair few of us will have crossed paths in the past – but I’m still relatively new at all this editor lark. Seeing as this is the first time I’ve had the privilege of writing one of these letters, I thought I might as well try and sketch out what some of that might all mean.
It might seem a silly place to be doing it, in one of these premium articles limited to our small band of supporters, but it makes some sort of sense to me. I’m not one for grand statements saying we’re going to change games journalism for the better, or laying out a plan to revolutionise the way we cover games – there’s enough fantastic games journalism out there to make any such statements silly, and this site alone’s got a rich enough history that tearing it up would be equally dumb. Much better, surely, to let our work on the homepage do the talking for us.

Letting you all know a little more about what to expect around here makes sense to me too because – I hope it’s safe to assume – you’re all fans of the site, much like myself. It’s an honour to have you all willing to support what we do, and it means a lot to me and the team. The loyalty of our readers is one of our greatest assets – indeed, one of the stats I’m always proudest of at Eurogamer is how much traffic we get to our homepage, suggesting it remains a destination for those who love games. Or those who want somewhere to complain about them, even.
