It appears no business is secure from consolidation, and the most recent goal is gaming media. From a report: IGN Leisure has acquired the web site portfolio of UK writer Gamer Community, which operates numerous beloved games-focused publications. That listing consists of Gamesindustry.biz, Eurogamer, Rock Paper Shotgun, VG247, and the tabletop website 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 employees 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 website, additionally operates different subsidiaries like Humble Bundle.
