Fullscreen is expanding its digital-media business today with the acquisition of gamer website ScrewAttack. Coming on the heels of Disney’s pending acquisition of Maker Studios for $500 million, the deal shows that digital media is a hot category.

The Los Angeles-based Fullscreen has an audience of 30 million unique viewers a month. With the acquisition of Dallas-based ScrewAttack, it will add an online destination for video game news, game trailers, original shows, and a gamer community. ScrewAttack has a YouTube channel with 830,000 subscribers, a website with more than five million monthly views, and 1.7 million unique users a month.
