Carmageddon’s OG creator, Stainless Games, just shook things up a bit. Ben Gunstone’s stepping into the CEO shoes. Wild, right? It’s like passing the torch, or maybe a gaming console, from Patrick Buckland, the dude who’s been at the helm since ‘94. I mean, think about it: Buckland’s been there forever.
Gunstone isn’t some new kid on the block, though. Since 2022, he’s been climbing the Stainless ladder, starting as a game director. Before that, he was dabbling over at Dovetail Games. So, it seems like he’s used to the game dev world’s chaos. Heck, three years later, bam! He’s operations director, now CEO. Life comes at you fast, huh?
Anyway—where was I? Oh yeah, Gunstone. He’s stoked about this gig. Says he’s “delighted and humbled” to dive in. Typical CEO speak, but hey, it’s kind of sweet? He’s all jazzed about following the path Patrick carved out, with Patrick himself kind of hanging around like a wise old game sage.
And Buckland? Well, the guy’s pushing 62 soon. He jokes he doesn’t look a day over 70. Got to love that kind of humor. Says he’s ready to step back from the daily grind. Wants to focus on what he loves—making games. Can’t blame him. He’s still holding the reins as Executive Chairman, whispering wisdom into the ears of the next gen. The company’s still his baby, and he’s watching it grow. Honestly, onward and upward sounds about right.
Life’s funny with its little turns, isn’t it?
