It’s always sad to see our fellow members of the press leave their respective outlets, and today is no exception.

Hot on the heels of the news of GiantBomb being bought by CBS, sources have confirmed that at least four members of the IGN staff are no longer with the company. Staffers include Matt Leone, Jack Devries, Ryan Winterhalter and Thierry “Scooter” Nguyen

We’ve reached out for comment and will update you as this story unfolds.
