The shadow of GameFan not gone yet...

Don't remember who Bergstien was...

Anyways, what I heard is that although Gamefan made a profit, it wasn't profitable enough to be worth the "effort" of keeping it going.

To think like a suit, you have to think like a 3 year old. Short-sighted, greedy, etc...

I'm surprised Bergstien is still alive, but that's just me.

Did I say you were a egotistical bastard? I'm just messing anyway. I could never hate a adult who still playes with legos.

Yeah, I know man. What do you think I used to build my little johnny-five robot?

I still remember something about Eidos dipping their hands in Gamefan's ownership which I'm lead to belive is also half responsible for it's death.

Does anyone currently own the rights to Gamefan itself or can some former editors bring it back without obligation?

Eidos didn't do much, well, they did somehow, and I'm not sure why, but Bergstein got them to 'invest' 55 Million dollars or something in Express.com.

Last I heard, 27 Million or so of that was 'missing' and he was in charge of that. I'm seriously surprised they haven't put a hit out on him.

Either Jay Puryear has the rights, or they are still in limbo, I'm not sure which.
