"You can imagine that this step was tough for us. After all, Making Games has been around for 16 years," said Szedlak.

"When the magazine was launched in August 2005, many things were different."

The magazine was created by founders Gunnat Lott and André Horn whom believed that game developers and publishers should write about the game's industry.
