Giant Bomb, the popular video game website, has been sold by Fandom and will now operate independently under the ownership of long-time staff members. The sale, announced at PAX East, sees Jeff Grubb, Jeff Bakalar, Dan Ryckert, Mike Minotti, and Jan Ochoa taking ownership. The team plans to focus on subscriptions, which have doubled in price, with the revenue now directly supporting the team. The sale follows weeks of uncertainty, including the removal of a podcast episode criticizing Fandom's content guidelines. Financial details of the deal were not disclosed.
