October 2005, GameSpot adopted a new design similar to that of TV.com, now considered a sister site to GameSpot. GameSpot ran a few different paid subscriptions from 2006 to 2013, but is no longer running those. In June 2008, GameSpots parent company CNET was acquired by CBS Corporation, and GameSpot along with CNET's other online assets were managed by the CBS Interactive division.

CNET was sold to Red Ventures
