Everyeye.it is an Italian online portal and newspaper. The site started out focusing on video games, but over the years expanded to include other sections of the entertainment industry as well. As of 2021 it's the most visited entertainment website in Italy, with over 12 million unique monthly users.[1][2]
History[edit]
The site was created in the night between 23 and 24 May 2000 by Simone De Marzo and Domenico Panebianco. The site was originally hosted by Xoom and called "dreameye.xoom.com", its discussion forums were hosted by ezboard. The portal was created with the aim of becoming "the first Italian site dedicated exclusively to Dreamcast!", although its founders were initially part of the substantial PlayStation fandom in Italy.[3]
During its first week, "Dreameye" dealt with a number of problems related to the resolution of the web pages, which was too high for the analog modems most commonly used in Italy at the time, and in the first three months the servers found it difficult to manage the traffic generated by the site. Traffic continued to increase, and at the beginning of 2001 "Dreameye" added automation to the most recent news feed, easing the workload of the editorial staff.[3]
On February 16, 2001, the Everyeye.it domain was purchased and activated, first with the incorporation of Pceye.it, a site dedicated to hardware for personal computers. Later Cubeye.it and Gbaeye.it were added (dedicated to the Nintendo GameCube and Game Boy Advance, respectively) and in May of that same year Xeye.it was added, dedicated to the Xbox.[3] Microsoft showed interest in the site, sending invitations for events and a console with debugging functions to the editorial office.[3]
At the Futurshow 2001 of the Fiera di Bologna the editorial staff of the site met for the first time, and on October 27, they added an entire section of the site dedicated to Sony's Playstation 2. The basis of this decision lay on the fact that Dreamcast was now a defunct console, while Playstation 2's popularity continued to rise. Nonetheless, this decision drew criticism and boycotts from the SEGA fandom.[3]
In November 2001 Everyeye.it inaugurated Animeye.it, dedicated to anime and manga, and to a lesser extent comics in general. Then followed Movieye.it in 2005 and Serialye.it in 2009.[3]
In the following years Everyeye.it was accepted by the review aggregator site Metacritic.
In 2018, the site reached 3.7 million unique users per month, with the average age being between 18 and 36 years old.[4][5] In March 2020, as a result of lockdowns related to the COVID-19 pandemic, Everyeye.it more than doubled its user base, to over 9.2 million unique monthly users.[6]
