A press release was issued on April 18, 2012, highlighting the supposed future of "Paper Planet" brands: "GameFan" and "Girls of Gaming". The company planned on increasing their online presence through app development for mobile devices as well as a new "GameFan TV" online channel. None of these plans had ever come to fruition, with the slight exception of a YouTube channel. Former "Destructoid" editor Wesley Ruscher was named the magazine's new editor-in-chief but resigned shortly after the release of issue 8 stating that it "lacked the necessities to keep food in belly and a roof over [his head."
