IGN and Gamespy merger

[Diff-chan]

So I guess this means IGN won't be going out of business anytime soon...

dammit.

You can't spell Ignorant Slut without IGN.

WTF was up with that, anyway?

The ignorant sluts were a clique on IGN's boards. They're actually pretty cool people.

I know we have some Gamespy folk here -- maybe even some IGN people. Do any of you care to comment?

Only that learning things like this is an interesting way to start one's day. :P

Must... try... to... work...

Thanks for your concerns, btw. Appreciated.

ahhhhhhh..........you stole my post. Ah well. I like gamespy better than IGN too, but there are so many better sites out there for game crap that I don't even really check either of them anymore.

Why would you hate IGN so bad you want them to go out of business? That's pathetic.

I've been reading IGN since the n64.com days. I hadn't even heard about gamespy until I saw ferricide post here.

So the price wasn't $60M... hmm... $60k maybe? j/k

I dont hate them. They just put out a shitty product and I dont think they really deserve to stay afloat.

Sadly, we will never be able to disclose how much we purchased it for -- part of the agreement.

funny, it's not being presented to us as gamespy being bought by IGN. it's a merger, right?

maybe the meetings this morning at the two companies are a bit different. =)

gamespy has a lot more assets than just the editorial side.
