MCV is a UK trade magazine that focuses on the business aspects of the video game industry. It is published monthly by Biz Media, a subsidiary of Datateam Media Group and is available in print and digitally.[2]
History[]
The first issue of MCV was released in November 1998.[citation needed]
In November 2017, NewBay Media, the owner of MCV at the time, announced that the websites, magazines and events of sister magazines Develop and Esports Pro would be absorbed into MCV by early 2018, with the combined magazine moving to a monthly frequency.[3][4] NewBay Media was acquired by Future Publishing in April 2018.[5][6] In December 2018, Future opted to sell several of its business-to-business brands, including MCV, to Datateam Media Group.[7] The deal was completed in January 2019, with Datateam formning a new subsidiary, named Biz Media, as parent for Future's former brands.[8]
MCV Awards[]
The MCV Awards are an annual award show, held since 2002, that is open to publishers, retail and distribution, with entries peer-voted and judged by an independent panel of specialists.[9]
