In a press release published on SeekingAlpha.com, Damage Media Group (DMG) today announced the acquisition of EsportsHeadlines.com, a digital magazine known for its comprehensive coverage of competitive gaming topics through news articles, guides, tutorials, and reviews. From today onwards, the domain and all its associated social media and content assets will join their Headlines group of sites and continue operating under its current name.
Initially launched in August 2016, the site anchored its focus onto titles popular back in that era, including Titanfall, Runescape, Arma, Unreal Tournament, and similar. As new releases vied for the limelight, the team behind the site remodeled their expertise and experience to cover various trending titles in the evolving esports landscape. As of 2020, EsportsHeadlines.com spearheads the production and publication of exclusive content involving popular esports titles, such as CS: GO, Fortnite, LoL, Overwatch, Apex Legends, and Dota 2.
The site operates on the latest version of WordPress. Meanwhile, its clean, modern look is attributed to the modified Soledad Magazine theme, a premium digital magazine layout optimized across all devices. Site migration to A2 Hosting will foster better site speed and viewing experiences, even with high-volume traffic.
Other than EsportsHeadlines.com, Damage Media currently has had three other acquisitions. Back in April 2021, the company acquired its first and most notable publication, PrinterHeadlines.com. This technology site has amassed a steady base of audiences of home office workers and printing enthusiasts with published content covering printers, 3D printers, buying guides, and machine troubleshooting information.
In November 2021, CasinoHeadlines.com joined the Headlines group. The iGaming, B2C news publication boasts a broad array of articles involving the expansive casino industry, including relevant news, reviews, and strategies. Finally, the third and most recent addition to the group was GamerHeadlines.com. Acquired in early 2022, the site has established authority within the console gaming sector, with extensive content focused on PlayStation, Nintendo, and Xbox consoles, as well as indie developer coverage.
With the well-thought acquisition of EsportsHeadlines.com, DMG edges closer to complete vertical coverage of tech and gaming websites.
In 2021, the global esports market acquired a value of over 1.08 billion USD, up almost 50% from the previous year. The industry’s colossal growth isn’t dampening anytime soon, especially since the market’s revenue is forecasted to reach 1.62 billion USD in 2024.
