The Story of PG by the Founder

The PG story is going to be written and released in weekly chapters, to tell the world what happens to PG today as well as gradually introduce people, events and developments from the past. The story will be written by myself, Ole Petter Høie, and represents how I perceive present and past occurances related to Positive Gaming, our products as well as people and companies that have been and are relevant. The reason for writing it is that I believe Positive Gaming's history is unique, and we think it is a story that will make those reading it identify with the company and the people behind it.
