Smosh Games' Early Life and Career as a YouTuber

Smosh Games began with a series of strategic purchases by Alloy Digital, which would later become Defy Media. In 2011, Alloy Digital purchased the Smosh brand, which had garnered popularity for its funny videos, many of which focused on gaming. That same year, the ClevverGames channel launched, swiftly gaining over 100,000 members before its parent business, Clevver Media, was bought by Alloy in 2012. Eager to capitalize on the developing Smosh brand, Alloy included ClevverGames in its expanding portfolio, resulting in Smosh Games.


Smosh Games was formally launched on September 25, 2012, via a combined announcement on the Smosh and ClevverGames channels. The initial team comprised Smosh creators Anthony Padilla and Ian Hecox, Mari Takahashi from Smosh Pit Weekly, and ClevverGames characters David "Lasercorn" Moss, Joshua "Jovenshire" Ovenshire, and Matt Sohinki. Smosh Games, known for its entertaining, personality-driven content, began by presenting a variety of gaming videos, including news, reviews, and commentary. Their first video featured the gaming news series "Smosh Action Gaming News Update Today" (S.A.G.N.U.T), as well as other series including "Super Mari Fun Time," "Gametime with Smosh," "Smosh Game Bang," and "Gamer Nation."


In May 2013, Smosh Games established the Smosh Games Alliance, a multi-channel network for gaming content makers that offers filmmaking techniques and community support. That month also saw their partnership with Node, a gaming channel founded by members of FreddieW and Corridor Digital, for the "Video Game Olympics," a gaming tournament.


By 2014, Wesley "Wes" Johnson and Amra "Flitz" Ricketts had joined the Smosh Games crew. This time saw the introduction of two new web series: "Honest Game Trailers," a spin-off of the Break Media series "Honest Trailers" that mocked video game ads, and "16-Bit High School," an animated series showing video game characters in a high school environment. The latter included YouTubers like Jack Douglass, Hannah Hart, Jimmy Wong, and Haley Mancini. These series were created following the merging of Alloy Digital and Break Media to establish Defy Media, which marked a huge step forward for both the firm and the Smosh brand. In late 2014 and early 2015, Smosh Games teamed with Wired magazine's "Game|Life" series to showcase the best games of 2014 and all time.


In 2015, Smosh Games relaunched the Alliance network as a separate channel with three new programs presented by Ricketts: "Smosh University," which focuses on the development of Smosh Games content; "SGA Spotlight," which features network members; and "SGA Live!" for live streaming. However, this channel became dormant in 2016. During that year, Smosh Games experimented with numerous short-lived series, such as the VR-themed "Reality Shift" and "MariCraft Outsider," a spinoff of the "MariCraft" series in which Takahashi investigated Minecraft. In 2017, Smosh Games welcomed new members Ericka "Boze" Bozeman and Damien Haas, while Lasercorn and Sohinki left. Ovenshire and Takahashi also participated in a three-part online series based on "Assassin's Creed Origins," in which they traveled to Egypt to learn about the game's culture and gameplay.
