Who’s behind it

Barry Villatoro founded LevelSave in 2011. Since then more than two dozen writers have filed for us. Today LevelSave is owned by Austin Griffith, who has been with the site since 2011 and runs it as Editor-in-Chief, alongside James T. George (Managing Editor) and Timothy Wedel (Community Manager).

We’re back

LevelSave went quiet for a while. Now it’s back. Every story is back online, reviews that were broken for years work again, and new posts are going up. Stay tuned.
