GameFan's original editor-in-chief, Dave Halverson, went on to publish Gamer's Republic, and then Play Magazine (an American video-gaming magazine, not to be confused with the English publication of the same name,) consisting mostly of former GameFan and Gamer's Republic staff members.
Tim Lindquist, along with several other members of the original GameFan team, began a new magazine, Hardcore Gamer.
