Gaming reviews in general need to be completely scrapped and redone.

Gaming journalism is being slowly killed off. It's extremely decentralized, corrupt, and unorganized. Not sure if it can be saved

Gamer Network - Wikipedia

en.wikipedia.org

Gamer Network was founded under the name Eurogamer Network in 1999 by brothers Rupert and Nick Loman.[2] It was formed alongside the opening of its flagship website, Eurogamer, which itself launched on 4 September 1999.[2][3] Nick Loman left the business in 2004 to pursue a career in medicine and "competitive BBQ".[4]

In February 2011, Eurogamer Network acquired American publishing house Hammersuit, alongside its IndustryGamers.com and Modojo.com websites.[5] On 1 March 2013, in line with the international expansion, Eurogamer Network announced that it had changed its name to Gamer Network.[6] As part of the rebranding, Eurogamer Events was renamed Gamer Events, while Hammersuit also adopted the Gamer Network name.[6] In October, Simon Maxwell was promoted from group publishing director to chief operating officer.[7]

On 26 February 2018, it was announced that ReedPop, the division of Reed Exhibitions that organises pop culture conventions such as PAX, had acquired Gamer Network.[2] While Rupert Loman remained Gamer Network's chief executive officer, Maxwell became the company's managing director and a vice-president for ReedPop's UK operations.[2][8] Loman left the company in February 2020.[9] ReedPop implemented a number of layoffs across many of the Gamer Network sites in September 2020. In November 2020, the remaining USgamer staff, which had been reduced from nine to four after the earlier layoffs, reported that ReedPop was shuttering the site by the end of the year.[10]

In November 2023, ReedPop announced its intent to sell Gamer Network with its editorial brands, though excluding its events business.
