.
It’s that time of year again. If you’ve followed the past two instalments, you’ll know how this works. For those who haven’t, welcome!
This list contains 100 of the finest Twitter folk that currently reside in the UK games industry, consisting mostly of journalists but also with a mix of PR, marketing, community and a few other bits and bobs.
If you want to catch up on the past two years, here’s 2011 and 2012. If by some chance you’re reading this and still aren’t following me (philistine), you can do at @JohnnyCullen. Also, a fellow shoutout to @Project_Boom because BOOM, that’s why.
This list is in no particular order. Otherwise, here we go!
