Haha April 2024 wasn't that long ago but I felt a lot more junior back then and too nervous to point out the error 😅
I'm still overjoyed to be in the magazine at all and this correction is just a testament to the great work and integrity of the guys over at @debugmag.com 💜

Harry Flanagan of Revolution Software has his 'n' back, after it was mistakenly replaced with an 'm' back in April 2024
And what's more, we're doing a reprint of Debug #5 and will send Harry a replacement copy. That's the Debug way!

Stop Killing Games is a consumer-driven shake up for digital distribution as a whole | Opinion
The movement's demands reflect wider worries about ongoing access to digital products – and unless the industry reforms, governments will bring in regulation
