It was a branding decision made by the company; which is still called Wikia. The idea is that most of the wikis could be considered fandom so using the brand name FANDOM was a more meaningful description of the wikis' content. That being said, life-style wikis about things such as hair producrts, math, science, and the like have been moved to "wikia.org" instead of "fandom.com" like most wikis have. Also, Wikia also aquired Gampedia which is a separate, previsouly independent wiki farm. Gamepedia wikis continue to operate at "gamepedia.com" but now include the FANDOM footer in addition to the Gamepedia footer.
