Editor's blog: Eurogamer owner seeking buyer
Hey everyone, I wanted to share a quick update about Eurogamer, and its future which now looks to lie outside the Reedpop business.
If you’ve been reading for a while you may know Eurogamer has been around a few years (24!) and spent most of that time as part of the family-run Gamer Network.
Five years ago, Gamer Network was bought by Reedpop, the pop culture-focused arm of events company Reed Exhibitions, which already ran PAX and New York Comic-Con.
The idea was that Eurogamer and its sister Gamer Network websites and YouTube channels (GamesIndustry.biz, Rock Paper Shotgun, VG247, Dicebreaker) would remain with the events part of its business – namely, EGX.
As of today, however, we’ve been told that the Gamer Network websites and YouTube channels are likely now headed elsewhere – to a new home.
Exactly where that is and when a change in ownership takes place are questions we will only be able to answer further down the road. But since today’s news – that Gamer Network is now up for sale! – has been formally announced, it feels important we also share it with you.
