Our Team

Hey, you! Yes, exactly you! We’re glad you landed on our site and that we have a chance to let you know a little bit about us and our journey.

Let’s start at the very beginning. In 2014, Survivethis.news was born out of a simple passion. A couple of friends who were totally into survival and horror games just felt like sharing their enthusiasm with others. At that time it was just a hobby, but what a cool hobby!

But we knew it could turn into so much more. Then in February 2021, our little hobby project turned into a professional gaming website under the name Guided.news. Who would have thought that? Now we offer news, guides, interviews and so much more around gaming. Sure, we’re still all about survival titles, but we’re also curious and write about anything that interests us.

We are proud of the fact that we are making more and more important contacts in the industry and that our hardworking team is constantly growing. And the best part? We always remain independent. No compromises, no influences. Just us and our honest opinion to share with you.

Our main goal is to present you with the best content possible. Because you deserve it. Because you’re just as crazy about gaming as we are. And because together we can rock the gaming world.

So, thanks for being here and wanting to learn more about us. And who knows, maybe one day you’ll be a part of our great team.

Management

In 2014, Sascha originally founded the survival website Survivethis.news as a hobby project. In 2021 it finally became Guided.news and the hobby turned into a profession. While Sascha keeps an eye on all areas with us, he mainly takes care of everything that runs in the background.

Editorial Team

Alex’s first high score dates back to 1982, not on the then newly released C64, but on the four years older Philips G7000 console (a copy of the Atari VCS 2600). For Guided, he mainly writes news, guides and game tests; after the editorial deadline, he usually puts the games of the local indie studio Knights of Bytes to music.
