How did this all happen? After first touching base with our team and ensuring our interest, the team at Gunzilla Games secured the rights to Game Informer. From the start, the new owners insisted on the idea of Game Informer remaining an independent editorial outlet; they felt just as strongly as our team did that the only path forward was with an editorial group that made 100 percent of the decisions around what we cover and how we do so, without any influence from them or anyone else.

Game Informer now operates under an entity called Game Informer Inc., and our intent is to continue to focus on highlighting the coolest games, celebrating the history and legacy of the gaming industry, and shining a spotlight on the creators and players who are charting its future. I am deeply grateful for the trust and enthusiasm from the team at Gunzilla Games; they see the same potential in Game Informer as our team does, and their encouragement to do so ethically and free of outside pressure is laudable.

It should also be mentioned that it was owned by GameStop, so back then it was not completely independent. Sounds like that aspect is different this time around; should be interesting to see how things unfold.

I was going to mention GameStop (I think most of us got it for 'free' with our GameStop trade-in subscription thing), but I couldn't remember if it was always owned by them, or if they just bought it after it was big.
