Meet the team at Destructoid

Founder-operated since 2006

This page used to have big titles like "executive publisher supreme!" and "editor in chief of the west coast horse annex!" but that just leads to people sending stuff to the wrong person. Please don't email everything to our editor in chief - use our contact page instead. Thanks!
