Pelle Dietz
Stockholm based, Pelle Dietz writes in English and Swedish on the European side of online entertainment — region pricing, EU payment rules, the way a Nordic-locked account handles a global launch. He worked four years on a Swedish e-commerce fraud team before moving to games coverage, which made him oddly comfortable explaining IBANs and chargeback windows to people who just wanted in-game currency before the weekend. His VGTopup pieces span PC and console games, mobile gachas, live-streaming platforms, and prepaid services, with an eye on which deal actually clears once local taxes and currency hit the receipt.
