Commenting on the launch in Slovakia, Ginx CEO Michiel Bakker said: “We are very excited to be making our first step into the Slovak market, and with one of the key platforms there. Video-gaming is now a massively mainstream leisure activity and it is fantastic that we are able to bring our channel to gamers in Slovakia for the first time. Our shows highlight the latest games and provide news, reviews and behind the scenes insights for fans of videogames and we hope they resonate with our new viewers.”
