Ex-Ziff'er here. That company seems to exist to be sold. Back in late 1990's it was split and sold: Things like Gamespot and TechTV came out of it. Now, what's being sold is a husk of the old media empire. Kinda like Atari: mostly name, and a few remaining properties.

TechTV! That goes way back and now I miss G4
I remember when they bought and/or sold just about every gaming magazine I liked in the late 90s and 00s, notably Computer Gaming World (and maybe Computer Games Strategy Plus?). Ziff Davis has always felt like this treadmill of companies, with every decade looking different.
