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 say…

From myself and the whole team at @eurogamer.bsky.social, a very fond farewell and huge thank you to our friends and colleagues (thread).💙

You’re a true hero! 💪

Thanks Rich, it's been a bit of a week for us all that's for sure 😅 Yeah if you hear of anything where you are, give me a prod - would be ace to do something for you y'all! Hope you're good!

Hahaha, yeah but my way isn't as cool of a story!

Hahaha, excellent callback 🤣

Thank you Jarrod :)

Those were the best times ❤️

Ah cool, love a bit of Bomberman and I like the Llamasoft vibes to this one - shame it's not got online multiplayer, would have been a fun one to play with the viewers!

Thanks EA122! I'm going to try my bestest to stay in it in one form or another - but making P32 a success would be one good option!

Thanks Neil! Hopefully we get to hang soon too :)

Thank you for the kind words :) There will indeed be a Patr-Ian at some point, just need to get a few things sorted out before I can start one!

You've got me spot on! What was the game?

Thank you!!!

Thank you Vic! I'll always remember our PUBG escapades from back when that game was blowing up!

I do that for basically every game that has camera controls to be fair 😂

Thank you Henry! Once the dust has settled I'll be doing more of those edited videos on P32 :)

A classic fashion statement!

🔴LIVE FROM 6PM GMT🔴 A brand new Resident Evil calls for a brand new Resident Evil Mega Stream, so join me for 6 hours of Eon Kennedy action as I celebrate the Platform32 relaunch with a banger of a Let's Play! Watch here: www.youtube.com/live/g0AKP6c... or on twitch.tv/platform32

My new boss (me) says I'm allowed to cover VR again 🙌

My journey as a solo content creator/influencer begins! Hit me up, marketing peeps I'm pretty good at it 💪😆

Thank you Ellen, working with you was always so much fun! Hopefully bump into you again soon - preferably when you don't have a sword in your hand 😜

Haha, it's OK I was very lazy with my refollows when I jumped over to Bluesky!

Thanks Alex! Hope everything is going well with you!

Thank you Jo :) Hope you're well!
