Fandom Implements Significant Layoffs, Impacting GameSpot and Other Brands

The company cites market changes and unmet revenue goals as reasons for cutting 11% of its workforce.

Fandom, the owner of GameSpot, Metacritic, and other media brands, has laid off 11% of its staff in a new round of job cuts.
GameSpot's video team and UK staff were among those heavily affected by the layoffs, with several employees announcing their departures on social media.
This marks the fourth round of layoffs at Fandom since its acquisition of GameSpot and other sites in October 2022.
The layoffs are part of a broader restructuring effort to address market changes and the company's failure to meet revenue targets.
Employees from Screen Junkies and other Fandom-owned brands were also impacted, although gaming remains a core focus for the company.
