Steve Gibson
Steve Gibson is the CEO of Cooldown Games. He previously was the creator of what is now Shacknews and worked for Gearbox Software.
In 1996 when Steve was only 20 years old he started a Quake fan site, " Quakeholio" to track the upcoming game Quakefrom id Software (Company). As time went on, the site evolved and covered more than just Quake gaming news. He renamed the site Shugashack and then the site was re-named again to what it is now currently called: [http:/www.shacknews.com Shacknews]. Steve hired several journalists who went on to other gaming industry news-sites over the years, and worked to maintain the backend of the site. Finally, in 2009, he sold the site to GameFly and took a break.
However, when he was presented with the opportunity to work for Gearbox Software by friend and President of the company Randy Pitchford (Person), he jumped at the chance. He came on as the VP of Marketing and oversaw the last six months of the development of Borderlands (Game) and the resulting DLC.
In December 2024, Gibson and his colleagues from Gearbox announced the formation of the publisher Cooldown Games, focusing on more casual titles.
