The passing of Gordon Mah Ung is immensely sad, but it’s impossible not to notice the immense positivity with which everyone remembers him. I worked with Gordon in the period leading up to his departure from Maximum PC. It was not, it’s fair to say, the easiest ride for any of us. The magazine was going through some structural changes, and things were happening that were uncomfortable for the existing staff, even if much of it was commercially unavoidable. Many of the team made their reservations clear, and rightly so. But the grace with which Gordon handled the whole thing was nothing short of a life lesson. Long story short, there’s a reason why Gordon is universally loved. He was genuinely exceptional.
