Gaming World started with three friends sharing their hot takes on the gaming industry over drinks. Ron Rheingold, Hunter Grooms, and Jake Lucky were longtime gamers and gaming industry veterans who had spent years crossing paths at events and wondering why it had become so difficult to find out what was actually happening in gaming.
They could see that the internet didn’t have a shortage of gaming content, but it lacked useful gaming news that could actually make its way to the right audience. Traditional publications were disappearing, platforms were rewarding outrage and clickbait, and players were left scrolling through a lot of noise that didn’t feel relevant to them. Meanwhile, game developers and publishers had fewer ways to launch games, tell their stories, and reach real gamers.
So, in 2023, Ron, Hunter, and Jake founded Gaming World to reconnect game makers and gamers. What began as a “what-if-we-actually-did-this?” moment has grown into a network of more than 25 owned-and-operated gaming brands, hundreds of channels, and personalities around the world. Gaming World has also created original formats including Gaming World Tour and New Game+, while helping studios, publishers, and brand partners earn the attention of gaming audiences, because gamers can smell a fraud from a mile away.
Gaming World takes gaming seriously, and it takes itself considerably less seriously. The company is run by people who genuinely love video games. As gaming evolves, Gaming World is proud to be building the media network, events, and infrastructure the industry has long deserved.
