Revision as of 17:51, 28 November 2004
IGN is the oldest and most visited general gaming website on the Internet.
Founded in 1995 (the 1 million+ member message boards were opened in July 2000), the part-free and part-subscriber only through their Insider service ($20/year membership) site has attracted 8 million unique visitors a month and has 5 million users registered through all departments of the site, which includes reviews, previews, walkthroughs, codes, and other media.
IGN Entertainment was the only gaming website in the stock market (Nasdaq: IGNX). IGN's stocks are no longer publicly traded as of 2003.
IGN is also known for its extremely active message boards. According to Big-boards.com, the RPG Vault Network boards is ranked #3, general IGN boards #4, and theforce.net (Star Wars special interest boards) #10. All together, the three communities have almost 200 million active posts.
IGN used to stand for Imagine Games Network, until Imagine Media was acquired by Snowball Inc. Snowball is now known as just IGN Entertainment, thus the IGN acronym has no real meaning.
In March 2004 IGN Entertainment and Gamespy Industries merged, and was briefly known for 3 months as IGN/GameSpy before formalizing their corporate name as IGN Entertainment.
In June 2004, IGN bought Rotten Tomatoes.
The website is ranked in the top 400 most visited websites according to Alexa.
