FileFront has been around since Dec 2001 as video games demo/downloads site, and was sold to Ziff Davis in 2005, added as part of its 1UP network. Then early last year when 1Up was sold to Hearst, Ziff Davis retained FileFront for some inexplicable reason, and then almost killed it a few months later, before the management of the site bought it back. And now, it gets bought again, this time by Break, who says it will invest significantly in building up the editorial content. It will also start dedicated ad sales for the site, which still gets about 9 million uniques a month; till now FileFront has only been using ad networks for its inventory.
