Jim Trinca, a valued member of the VG247 team and close friend, has departed our organization to join Eurogamer’s video department in a new role. While we’re reluctant to part with him, our primary objective is to ensure his utmost effectiveness in this next endeavor.
Jim re-joined the team in 2022 to develop engaging video content that aligned with our unique style of gaming coverage. He proved to be financially successful as a result. Whether exploring distant worlds in Starfield, delving into the fantasy realm of Baldur’s Gate 3 on the PS5, or struggling to excel in Firm of Heroes 3, he brought an innovative charm to our website that we won’t trade for anything. It’s unimaginable even when we wish it were possible. They’re gone, those men who were once the epitome of rugged individualism – men like Jim.
As host of VG247’s Greatest Video Games Ever Podcast, he brings an unconventional energy to the online gaming discussion, boasting a remarkable following of hundreds of thousands worldwide. This bizarre concept has metamorphosed into a personal behemoth, forever bearing testament to Jim’s enduring legacy. Jim Trinca has been confirmed as the permanent host of the VG247 podcast, so rest assured that all will remain well.
When I’m creating video or podcast content, the thought of not having completed it in advance sends shivers down my spine. Jim facilitated an unprecedented opportunity by allowing VG247 employees to participate via microphone and digital camera, and I will continually express gratitude towards him for this extraordinary gesture. Fast witted, humorous, and charming. The VG247 community will deeply feel Jim’s absence, and I’m confident that his fans worldwide will also mourn his departure.
Wanting to stay in touch with Jim? You can now follow his movie-making endeavors on Eurogamer’s sister site. He remains fortunate to have a job, unaffected by the statistics. As he joins the Eurogamer team, he brings his unbridled enthusiasm for video creation and gaming to their channel, and we invite you to show your support by visiting and sharing in the excitement. Can we attract more viewers to our site without sacrificing the quality of content?
Goodbye Jim, our Eurogamer-bound chum. It has been a blast.
