A founding member of Playground Games, we thank Gav for his leadership and contributions to the Forza franchise and wish him all the best. Co-founder Trevor Williams will transition from General Manager to Studio Head effective immediately, as the Playground Games team focuses on updates to Forza Horizon 5 and the development of Fable.

Hopefully they keep humming along as before. Should be a given since the "new" guy has been there from the beginning too.

Hope they get moving on updates to Horizon 5 quickly. They have a lot of work to do.

Gotta love that Windows Central piece name-checking the Burner's early C64 stuff. The "The Equalizer" was just one of several £1.99 quick knockoff games he did which in the fashion of the time were referential to some big-time movie or TV franchise with gameplay similarly stolen from elsewhere.

I think the most memorable thing he did was a pretty good Uridium clone called Thunderbolt, pretty decent if basic stuff - basically the Tony Crowther model of "I have a scroll-routine and I'm going to use it" model

Goddamn... 30 odd years on and it still brings a smile to my face thinking about those days!
