Morphology

IGN = I + G + N

Used as a company/brand name (proper noun); the acronym does not transparently convey the company's function to average learners and is treated as a lexical name rather than a compositional English word.

Etymology

IGN began as the initials of Imagine Games Network, the original name of the website. So the name shows the site is about games, news and reviews.
