“IGN Entertainment acquires Eurogamer, GI, VG247, Rock Paper Shotgun and more

New owner makes redundancies across the Gamer Network portfolio”

Woooow. There’s so few independent sites left, most major sites are now under the same roof.

@gamingonlinux
Good intentions but I'd never say never. You might have some big personal catastrophe and if someone bellies up with a truck full of cash at that point, I say take it.

You can always start fresh elsewhere. I'm following you, not your blog.

@gamingonlinux You will, however, have a new Patreon starting next month :) I am long overdue to become one.

@gamingonlinux Fewer humans to write articles can only mean more AI slop on the way! Awesome. Love reading banal insight-free adjective-laden predictive text content 🤖

@omglinux i think it’s more IGN ensuring their own income is secured, with how shite Google has become

@gamingonlinux Hmm, is IGN becoming a monopoly yet in the 'gaming' market, at the very least? Should the FTC look into this?

@gamingonlinux fuck's sake. I'm really not keen on IGN's approach to editorial (even compared to most of the other publishers).

@gamingonlinux god this is awful. This is most of what is left of the game journalism major companies, and they are all about to just be collapsed.

I'm glad we have a lot more indie groups in this space that are growing fairly rapidly. Skill Up has a small but powerful team working with him, and Second Wind successfully carries on a legacy that the Escapist somehow failed to maintain.

But god this sucks so much. So many of these I used to frequent as a kid, they were my main avenue for game information. I guess it is time to look to the future and leave these behind, most will get shuttered anyways.

@gamingonlinux looks like my yearly $80 premium RPS subscription will not be renewed. Where to spend hard earned money now?
