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

[Sircaw]

At this point, might as well just buy Metacritic and let the corporate shilling run its way with no boundaries.

Looking at a lot of the Hellblade 2 scores today, it looks like it might have already been bought.

Microsoft astroturfing about to go through the roof.

More like NXGamer will work with DF?

Funny how Resetera’s entire attitude about acquisitions has completely changed over the past couple weeks.

 

[Nhomnhom]

Just when I thought those publications couldn't get any worse.

I'm surprised IGN still exists to be honest.

Or that. LOL. Imagine to see a NXG at DF weekly podcast.

More like they can now shut NXGamer down, to give the DF shilling more relevance.

Who reads game media anyways? I don't even care for Meta scores since it became so easy to buy 'journalists' with merch and money for good scores.

I do but just specific ones. Easy aliies use to be my goto but it's since changed. Now if course it's better to get word of mouth or hop on youtube to gauge from ppl tht don't have a billion followers and endorsements. To much conflict of interest.

Of course it had to be the Xbox shills Destin, McCaffrey and Eurogamer all under the same banner. Video game media is dead

Awful for sure

Yeah Easy Allies was my only go to, but like you said it's changed a lot. First Kyle left and it was a big change and then Jones and it was never the same afterwards.

so two choices : listen the sweet lies from Phinochio
or
listen some guys who doesn't know what they talking about.

I think it will be really interesting to see how closely aligned each of the sites review scores are post merger, versus before.

I think everything but GI.biz and DF gets closed within two years. Tis the IGN way. And thats being really generous to assume that those two survive.
