Meanwhile, Mylonas took over at GameFan. According to Halverson, Mylonas was hired on a favor and first worked at GF for free, even though the other editors "didn't like him at all." For whatever reason, Mylonas was one of the few staffers who didn't leave with Halverson, and thus was put in charge of the revamped Gamefan in 1998. He adopted a furiously "hardcore" angle and hired on new writers, including George "Eggo" Ngo (who went on to work for Tecmo, I think), Brandon "Bubba" Justice (who later went to IGN and then Visual Concepts), and Anthony "Dangohead" Chou (now at IGN). The mag had some troubled times, but it lasted until late 2000, eventually succumbing to the same thing that had caused Halverson's crew to bolt: bad corporate management.
