IGN Cuts Staff Again, Including Longtime Hosts Brian Altano and Seth Macy

IGN went through another round of layoffs on September 14, hitting multiple departments and well-known on-camera staff including Brian Altano and Seth Macy, according to reporting and to those affected posting publicly. It follows earlier 2026 cuts at the outlet. IGN sits under Ziff Davis, which absorbed Eurogamer, Rock Paper Shotgun, GamesIndustry.biz, and VG247 in the 2024 Gamer Network deal, and editorial roles have been trimmed across the group since.
