# GameSpot ## About GameSpot has been covering video games since the late nineties with straight talk and no fluff. The team writes daily news, in-depth reviews and long-form guides that help players decide what to buy and how to play. They focus on PC, console and mobile titles across every major genre. Their audience ranges from casual weekend gamers to hardcore enthusiasts who want frame-rate details and patch notes. GameSpot also produces video content including gameplay walkthroughs and developer interviews. The site earns most of its money through advertising and sponsored features while keeping editorial separate. Over the years they have built a large archive that still gets referenced in forums and Reddit threads. They serve readers in dozens of countries even though the main office sits in San Francisco. The writing style stays conversational and avoids corporate speak. GameSpot competes directly with other big gaming sites but keeps its own voice and scoring system. **Areas of Work:** Gaming Media, Video Game Reviews, Entertainment News ## Things to Remember - **Website:** https://gamespot.com - **Address:** - **Contact:** - **Phone:** - **Hours:** - **Timezone:** - **Currency:** - **Company Type:** Private - **Employees:** 51-200 - **Revenue:** Not Disclosed - **Hiring Status:** Not currently hiring ## Products - **GameSpot Reviews** (Free): In-depth game
