Saying goodbye to Katharine Castle

oing to miss this incredible team, and it will be very strange indeed not to be writing about cool new video games every day anymore. I know I’ve only been here a very short while in the site’s esteemed 25-year history, but it’s been a real privilege to be even the tiniest part of this place, and to get to know you through some of our chats in the comments. You’re a smart bunch, and it’s been a pleasure writing for you all these past 12 months. Now, I’ll be joining your ranks as a fellow reader, and I can’t wait to see what the Eurogamer team get up to in the months and years ahead. Thanks again for reading, and see you in the comments!” – Katharine
