We have been accompanied, pushed and supported since the very first day we came to Turbine  . We were prepared for weeks by awesome coaches to pitch our new concept during the test drive #4 which we won in the ‘Most Promising Idea Category’! We are extremely grateful to be part of Turbine’s family.
