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 💜
Today, a great injustice has been put right...

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!

Solicitor Sam Crich offers potential solutions and regulations in response to the Stop Killing Games movement. "If the games industry wants to build lasting trust in its player base, it must take action to prevent unfair treatment of consumers."

The movement's demands reflect wider worries about ongoing access to digital products – and unless the industry reforms, governments will bring in regulation
