Jeuxvideo.com is a French video gaming website founded in 1997 by Sébastien Pissavy.
History
While on military service in 1995, Pissavy started a video game hints collection on Minitel, a precursor to the World Web Web. As his work became more popular, he moved it to a website, Jeuxvideo.com, in 1997. Gameloft purchased an 80% share of the site in 2000, though Pissavy ran it independently until his departure in 2012.[1] HiMedia purchased the site in 2006 and sold it in 2014 to Webedia for 90 million euros.[2] Webedia subsequently moved the offices to Paris, causing several staff members to leave.[3] In August 2015, the site was hacked; administrators said no private information was leaked but still advised users to change their passwords.[4]
Forums
Jeuxvideo.com's forums have caused it controversy and legal problems.[1][5] L'Obs and Le Monde have both criticized the forums for their hatred and intolerance.[6][7] Forum posters have also uncovered controversies, such as making plagiarism claims against popular YouTube users.[8]
