One-to-One 6: Departing Editor-in-Chief Oli Welsh

Oli Welsh has worked at Eurogamer for 14 years, and led the website as Editor-in-Chief for seven of those. Now, however, he has decided to move on, and embark on a new challenge in his life, which is a wonderful attitude to have.

 

This, then, is my final chance to sit down with Oli before he leaves, to hear about his life and how he came to be in this job; to hear about what it's like to be an editor of a high profile games website; and to find out more about his decision to leave and what comes next.

 

Some pieces we mention during the episode:

• The one about the light switches: https://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2019-11-20-someone-should-make-a-game-about-light-switches
• Oli's infamous Metal Gear Solid 4 review: https://www.eurogamer.net/articles/metal-gear-solid-4-guns-of-the-patriots-review
• Oli's Fez review: https://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2012-04-12-fez-review
