GameFan's original editor-in-chief, Dave Halverson, went on to publish Gamer's Republic, and then Play Magazine, consisting mostly of former GameFan and Gamer's Republic staff members. (An American video-gaming magazine, not to be confused with the English publication of the same name.) Gamer's Republic had a short run of 35 issues and has ceased publication in July 2001 when the Dot Com Bubble burst. Play had a far more successful run of 97 issues until the publishing company filed for bankruptcy.
After GameFan ceased publication, Eric Mylonas went on to edit GameGO! magazine. Only one issue of the magazine ever reached publication with the completed second issue being distributed in PDF format only. More recently, Mylonas has had success writing strategy guides for Prima Games.
Tim Lindquist, along with several other members of the original GameFan team, began a new magazine, Hardcore Gamer. They also began developing strategy guides as a part of their publishing company, DoubleJump Books (Now called Onionbat Books). The magazine had a short run of 36 issues before they began focusing exclusively on their website.
The DieHard GameFan name was resurrected by Alex Lucard as a website, Diehard GameFAN, with Dave Halverson's blessings. While there is plenty of coverage on the major releases, the site also prides itself on reviewing more "indie" games, much in the spirit of the original magazine.
