IGN is no longer a monopoly in the world, there are literally thousands of gaming websites just like IGN who offer similar services. IGN is only really different from the others in being more respected, established and wealthier (IPL is a unique venture amongst videogame websites I think). pretty much. I remember when i use to use gamespot and IGN to check out up coming games and reviews. Not so much anymore. Also, to people who are saying they bought it for 650 mil and now selling 100 and wondering why; you should take note that they sold gamespy, rotten tomato, and other brands before this. the 650 mil included the purchasing of those sites. the 100 mil is just IGN. It probably still lost alot of value, just not the 650m to 100m the articles states. | ||

Hoping I'm just reading that wrong or something. It's obvious that losing websites like RottenTomatoes and GameSpy would make the price of the group drop substantially. | ||

It's not surprising that hardcore gamers are decreasing, I don't know the reason but I think I only play 2-3 xbox game and 1-2 PS games per year now, no need to mention my Wii has been in the shelf for at least 2 years. Even have no motivation to buy a ps vita coz I dont know what to play on it. Back in ten years I was a really hardcore gamer and spend like 75% of my spare time on games. I dont know why but I am so sick of nowadays games and there are so few worthy games to play I guess. | ||

They aren't exactly profitable so to whomever buys them, if they aren't familiar with esports, they could be cut very easily. | ||
