As I pointed out on Twitter this morning, today is my last day at TouchArcade. However, in what turned out to be two totally unintentional coincidences, March 8th 2009 was when my first TouchArcade review was published. When checking my Facebook memories for the day, I also met TouchArcade alumni Brad Nicholson randomly on the train in San Francisco nine years ago. It’s really funny how things work out sometimes. I got pretty in depth with why I’m leaving and where I’m going earlier this week, but the basic gist is I’m joining a startup called GameClub, and will be working tirelessly to bring premium game experiences back to the App Store. (Starting with Hook Champ!) I’m really, really excited to make a difference, and have an opportunity to create something I know you all are going to love instead of just writing about those things. TouchArcade has been one hell of a ride for me personally, but I can’t take credit for the success or popularity of the site. That rests on the shoulders of the awesome team we’ve had over the years around here who have worked tirelessly to help create the almost 26,000 articles that make up the TouchArcade content library. The site will be in fantastic hands with Jared at the helm, and he’s shared some exciting things for the future that he’s going to be doing with the site. We dig into it on this week’s podcast, which you should give a listen.
Anyway, instead of focusing on me, IR...
