Digital Foundry has established itself as a leading source of information on video game console capabilities and performance. Recently, it has transitioned to independence from Eurogamer and IGN after its founder purchased the publication and its archives. The change signifies a trend of video game journalists seeking independence from corporate control. Richard Leadbetter, the editor and founder, had previously retained 50 percent ownership since 2015, facilitating this new direction for Digital Foundry.
Digital Foundry has become the most knowledgeable and trustworthy place to find out just how powerful a new video game console might be, where the hottest new games run the best.
Digital Foundry is no longer a Eurogamer sub-brand, and it's no longer controlled by IGN. DF's founder has purchased the publication and its complete archives.
It's the latest example of video game journalists finding a path that's different from corporate ownership. 'We answer to nobody but you, the audience,' DF now says.
The owner, Richard Leadbetter, had been holding onto 50 percent of its shares since 2015, when he originally sold his other half to Eurogamer.
