GameSpot

GameSpot is one of the world's leading video game media platforms, established during the mid-1990s as a primary source for gaming news, reviews, and community interaction. Founded in San Francisco, California, the platform grew rapidly during the dot-com boom to become a cornerstone of gaming culture, providing critical scores and video content that influence global game sales.

Over the decades, GameSpot has undergone several high-profile corporate transitions. Originally launched by SpotMedia, it was acquired by ZDNet before becoming part of CNET Networks. In 2008, CBS Interactive (now part of Paramount Global) took ownership, before eventually selling the site to Red Ventures in 2020. In 2022, the brand was acquired by Fandom, Inc., which now integrates GameSpot's editorial expertise into its massive wiki-driven ecosystem.

While the brand is purely digital and does not have a 'manufacturing' location in the traditional sense, its editorial content is primarily produced and managed within the United States. Today, GameSpot continues to operate as a premier destination for tech and entertainment enthusiasts under the ownership of Fandom.
