But as of today, Digital Foundry is no longer a Eurogamer sub-brand, and it’s no longer controlled by IGN. Buying Digital Foundry wasn’t much of an uphill battle, to hear editor and founder Richard Leadbetter tell it, partly because he only had to buy 25 percent. Thankfully, Digital Foundry doesn’t need to worry about building an audience from scratch to pay its journalists. One thing the team doesn’t have anymore is a proper place for its written words to go. Nor should you expect to see Digital Foundry move to a subscription-only model.
