Giant Bomb, GameSpot, MetaCritic And More Sold To Fan Wiki Company - Kotaku

So it’s with perhaps some trepidation we report the news that Fandom, the wiki hosting company, has just bought behemoths including GameSpot, Metacritic, and Giant Bomb.

The full list of publications announced as being acquired by Fandom from Red Ventures today contains many well-known names: GameSpot, Metacritic, TV Guide, GameFAQs, Giant Bomb, Cord Cutters News, and Comic Vine.

CNET was originally bought by ViacomCBS for $1.8 billion in 2008, and then sold on to Red Ventures for considerably less in 2020, at $500 million

While today’s purchase by Fandom doesn’t include the CNET name and all their related websites, $50 million for such major players as Metacritic, TV Guide, and GameSpot seems incredibly low
