The decision follows an offer from IGN to sell its shareholding, which Leadbetter and Loman-West accepted.<br /> <br /> “Digital Foundry has parted ways with IGN and we&#039;ve bought their shareholding of the business,” Leadbetter stated on the podcast. “What this means is that from now on, all aspects of Digital Foundry are decided upon by Digital Foundry.”<br /> <br /> Going forward, the outlet will be entirely self-funded through its Patreon support system, allowing it to chart its own course without corporate oversight. The move ends a chapter that began in May 2024, when IGN Entertainment acquired the Gamer Network, including Digital Foundry, as part of a larger media portfolio.<br /> <br /> Despite the separation, IGN expressed support for Digital Foundry’s return to independence. In a statement, IGN Entertainment president Yael Prough praised the outlet’s legacy and ongoing impact.<br /> <br /> “Digital Foundry is a brand that we have immense admiration for, and we&#039;re incredibly proud of the work they&#039;ve done over the years, including during their time with IGN Entertainment,” Prough said. “Richard Leadbetter and [the] team have built something truly special, and we&#039;re thrilled to see them return to their independent roots. We wish them the absolute best and will be cheering them on as they continue to grow.”<br /> <br /> &#039;&#039;&#039;More:&#039;&#039;&#039;[[News/Ludocene Launched|Ludocene Launched]]<br /> }}</div>
