Smash JT | Walls Are CAVING In On Video Game Journalists… @SmashJT | Uploaded May 2024 | Updated October 2024, 9 hours ago.
On May 21, 2024, IGN Entertainment, a division of Ziff Davis, announced the acquisition of the Gamer Network family of digital brands. This portfolio includes well-known publications such as Eurogamer, GamesIndustry.biz, Rock Paper Shotgun, VG247, and Dicebreaker. The business also holds shares in Digital Foundry, Outside Xbox, and Hookshot (which many don't know - operates the sites of Nintendolife, PushSquare, PureXbox and Time Extension).
These acquisitions follow IGN's strategy to expand its reach and influence within the gaming industry. While the financial details were not announced, the implications are clear: a significant portion of gaming journalism is now under a single umbrella... and Some folks are out of a job.
