It appears no business is secure from consolidation, and the newest goal is gaming media. From a report: IGN Leisure has acquired the web site portfolio of UK writer Gamer Community, which operates a variety of beloved games-focused publications. That record contains Gamesindustry.biz, Eurogamer, Rock Paper Shotgun, VG247, and the tabletop web site Dicebreaker. The community additionally holds shares in websites like Nintendo Life and Digital Foundry.
Phrases of the deal weren’t disclosed. Gamesindustry.biz studies that “some redundancies” have been made throughout the websites, although it is not clear what number of staff have been impacted. Based on a number of posts on X, editors at each Rock Paper Shotgun and Gamesindustry.biz have been laid off. IGN Leisure is owned by Ziff Davis, which, along with IGN’s web site, additionally operates different subsidiaries like Humble Bundle.
