I will voluntarily dedicate my time into reviewing this article by this weekend or earlier. I am still in school though, but I will try my best to review it as soon as I can, copyediting as I go. This is also going to be by first ever GA review, so I apologize if some of my findings were out of place.

History
After Hewson shut down Hewson Consultants and co-founded 21st Century Entertainment in 1991, he met with Marsden in early 1992. Marsden and Cooke established Spidersoft on 5 May 1992. I'm a bit confused here. Did Hewson met with Marsden or did Cooke met with Marsden? I also suggest these sentences to be joined together.
In October 1999, it employed twenty-four development staff and was in the process of hiring fifteen people for quality assurance. Who employed twenty-four development staff?
There are some
sources here that are made by contributors, but that's also not a big deal as long as it's an actual published news piece from a reputable site of fact-checking.
Modern labels on old sources can be misleading because old titles are often not carried over to newer systems. In the case you cite, Matt Martin was actually an editor for the site until 2013. The most recent site redesign was introduced this year and "Contributor" seems to be the fallback.

I'll give the sources a pass. This is not mandatory, but I would like to receive an explaiantion of sources like these:
[1],
[2] since I'm wondering if these are primary and reputable.
This Is Lincolnshire was the website of the Lincolnshire Echo newspaper. The newer name is Lincolnshire Live.
The Tower of Pin was a long-running site for pinball game coverage largely authored by Sam Gabrielsson. It had a good reputation within that niche but I included it mostly because it was the only one with a more precise date for 21CE's demise. If you think the source is untenable, I'd be fine with removing it from the article.

Closing comments
Alright
IceWelder, here is the review. Since this is my first time reviewing for GA status, I actually chose this article because it was short and simple, and looked really good even before reviewing it. The tables in the "Games developed" section are organized and formatted neatly. Once the small issues above have been addressed, I will pass the article.
