Stainless Appoints Ben Gunstone as CEO

Sure thing — here’s how that might go down, so to speak:

—

So, here’s a quirky shift at Stainless Games. Ben Gunstone’s the new CEO. Yep, replacing Patrick Buckland. Patrick’s been at the helm since 1994—crazy, right? Ben’s journey at Stainless started in 2022, kicked off as a game director. We all gotta start somewhere, huh? Flash forward three years, he’s operations director, and boom, now he’s CEO. Before Stainless? He did some time at Dovetail Games. Who doesn’t have a past, right?

Ben said something like, “Super excited and a bit overwhelmed, really.” Can’t say I blame him. Thirty years of Patrick’s shoes to fill ain’t small potatoes. And apparently, Patrick’s sticking around as Executive Chairman. Imagine having the guy who started it all still around, but kinda stepping back. Patrick said something too — he’s 62 this year (looking great for 70, by the way), and wants to chill a bit. But hey, he’s still kicking around as Executive Chairman. Wants to focus on games, his real love. Must be nice to pass the torch but keep a hand in it all. He calls Stainless his baby, and now Ben’s the babysitter. Wild ride if you ask me.

Anyway, where was I? Oh yeah, cheers to new beginnings and all that jazz.
