Fandom Acquisition
The seven brands are listed here: GameSpot, Metacritic, TV Guide, GameFAQs, Giant Bomb, Cord Cutters News, and Comic Vine.
The prime aim for this acquisition was to extend Fandom’s strategic mission to become the fan’s primary choice for community and experience.
The deal will continue to expand Fandom’s global fan platform to benefit entertainment and gaming fans as well as partners. The new combined platform will drive engagement across every step of the consumer journey - reference, community, trends, ratings, reviews, news, and commerce.
