After conflict between the staff of gaming site Giant Bomb and owner Fandom, 'Giant Bomb is now owned by the people who make Giant Bomb'

Drew Scanlon blinking.

In October of 2022, popular personality-led gaming site Giant Bomb was bought by Fandom, the multi-headed wiki-hosting hydra, at the same time as Fandom acquired GameSpot, Metacritic, and GameFAQs. Conflict between Fandom and the opiniated editors of Giant Bomb arose this year when the publication of new content was put on hold as part of a "strategic reset and realignment" of Fandom's brands.

Subsequently, an episode of Giant Bomb's podcast in which the hosts made fun of Fandom's brand safety concerns was taken down, and several senior members of the site's staff announced they wouldn't be working for Giant Bomb any more.
