Hello everyone. I come with the sad news that as you are no doubt already aware, we're saying goodbye to several of our friends and colleagues here at Eurogamer. Leaving us are Tom Orry, our editorial director; our video team of Ian Higton, Zoe Delahunty-Light, and Alix Attenborough; Alex Donaldson, our editor-at-large; and Will Judd, who worked across Digital Foundry, hardware and deals. I'll start with Tom, who over the past year-plus had made himself a hugely valuable source of advice, expertise, desert-dry humour and world class poker faces (I think we just about made him laugh once, for a moment, on his final day). Tom initially began the role when Tom Phillips was our editor-in-chief here, mostly working away diligently in the background in a two-Tom-tandem doing editorial director things, before taking on a more prominent role on the site itself over the past 11 or 12 months, gracing us with some signature console nostalgia and unjustifiably intense Project Gotham Racing enthusiasm. Tom, Dom, Alex and I, along with the rest of the team, worked together closely on what a 'new Eurogamer' might look like last year, and his experience in running multiple games media sites was consistently our rock to lean on. While he may have initially seemed an outsider of sorts compared to Eurogamer chiefs of old - at least to some on the surface, coming from his 20-plus years across our sister sites VG247 and USGamer, and before that the cult-favourite site he founded in our once-rival VideoGamer - I can't stress enough how much Tom 'got' Eurogamer. His goal was for us to be at the heart of the big stories that mattered most to our readers with original, diligent reporting and on-the-button commentary, and that will absolutely continue. In immaculately on-brand, limelight-dodging Orry style, Tom opted to sneak his farewell into this past weekend's What We've Been Playing column, but I'll be damned if he gets away with it that easily. Sorry Tom. Here's what he had to sayβ¦
From myself and the whole team at @eurogamer.bsky.social, a very fond farewell and huge thank you to our friends and colleagues (thread).π
Congrats Lloyd!
Always thought of myself as a water starter boy but itβs been grass and fire since Gen 4! Back to water for Gecqua though
Pokopia being very good is really going to test my whole "no buying Game-Key Cards" thing
Pombon's final evolution
Genuinely can say that stumbling across the VideoGamer podcast, and then becoming a big fan of website and YouTube channel, totally changed the course of my life.
You created something legendary Tom. Iβm sorry to see it in the hands of people who simply donβt care.
Still love Edge but your era on it has a special place in my heart Chris, not sure there's anyone else in games media with as sharp an eye for hidden gems and overlooked indies
Genuinely feel sick to my stomach at this. If Eurogamer can't survive this sort of corporate cut-obsessed landscape, who can, quite frankly? Thoughts to all those affected
Massive congrats mate!! Thatβs huge!
absolutely killer next fest so far for the idea that games can look like whatever the hell you want
(Airframe Ultra, Cicadamata, Luna Abyss, The Last Salvage Squad)
Why do I have to pretend that I'm going to print something in order to save it as a PDF. Why do I have to engage in a little ruse.
HOT FUZZ scene. Pegg as a cop talking to some underage kids in a pub Whenβs your birthday? 22nd of February. What year? Every year.
Happy birthday to this young man, and really to us all
One day!! Itβll happen!
With new blockbusters taking longer and costing more than ever to make, and nostalgia never a more powerful currency, shuttering a proven specialist in remakes and remasters is frankly insane. Casting out a team of such deep technical expertise and, more crucially, such broad institutional knowledge β Bluepoint doesnβt just know its own tools and technology, but also those of the studios whose games it has modernised, from Sony Santa Monica to Naughty Dog, Team Ico to FromSoftware β is simply inexplicable. Pretending thereβs nothing for Bluepoint to work on, when the market for remakes has never been bigger and the long-rumoured, widely coveted Bloodborne remake has reached Shenmue 3 levels of mythicism, is unbelievable. Everything about this decision, from top to bottom and viewed from any and every angle, is ridiculous, baffling, an affront.

I so desperately want to play The Witcher 3 without bouncing off of it after 2 hours (this has happened several times)
Opinion: Sony's Disgraceful Bluepoint Closure Should Concern Every PS Studios Fan.
I thought they might have added them to NSO but without access to rewind/save states, the way they did with RBY and GSC on the 3DS. Bit of a shame to have them separate like that
Hell yeah there is.
Virtual Boys rise up
Now THIS is how you do pancake day holy shit
God bless photobucket for holding onto this image for nearly 20 years
brb just digging out my onm forum signature featuring the six characters I want added in the next Smash Bros (one of them is Paper Mario)
Kena was a huge "hell yeah" moment, didn't have a sequel on my radar at all, but so looking forward to it
This is much better than the terrible Chickero: Eggs Lay Twice joke I made to someone earlier
Need to unshackle the Resistance games from PS3 now the door has been opened a crack
These are so sick mate
In the next twelve months apparently π
