Ownership
Steve Gibson
Shacknews founder and majority owner Steve Gibson has somehow managed to keep this whole thing
operational and independent for over a decade. Originally the sole voice of the Shack, Steve now sits at the top of the vast
Shack empire, managing its business affairs and thumbing through large rolls of bills while stopping in on the front page on a daily basis.
Maarten Goldstein
Maarten Goldstein joined the Shack as its second full time employee and first resident Dutchman in 1999,
becoming a part owner in 2002. He is responsible for maintaining FileShack as well as keeping Shacknews updated with bulletins from around
the web and contributing programming when needed.
Editorial Staff
Chris Faylor
Chris Faylor brings with him a well-rounded body of industry experience from such online publications as GameDaily and Gaming Age.
He focuses on news, previews, and event coverage, as well as rendering complex and robust electronic devices useless with his mere touch.
Nick Breckon
Plucked green and eager from the thriving, fertile masses of the Shack community, Nick Breckon has quickly acclimated himself to
the rough-and-tumble world of video game journalism. He regularly handles news and interviews as well as feature content.
Aaron Linde
Most recently the reviews editor at Destructoid, Aaron Linde has also contributed to sites such as Gamasutra and The Escapist.
He now works on daily news here at Shack, and is not as good at Bomberman as he thinks he is.
