Walmart-sponsored gaming site Restart lays off editorial staff

Restart, a gaming media website launched in late 2024 and sponsored by Walmart, has shut down its editorial operations by laying off its entire editorial team. The site, operated by content marketing agency Moonrock, faced sudden staffing cuts announced by former editor-in-chief Brandy Berthelson and other affected employees. This marks a significant setback for what was meant to be a major gaming media venture backed by a major retail corporation.
