  I’m not a massive IGN hater but yikes. This is consolidation I don’t want to see… I like Eurogamer a lot, I hope they don’t change much

  At least it’s not Kotaku but all this consolidation is far from good news. Heaven forbid reporters should get to stay independent, let alone being puppeted by a company that’s little more than a meme.

  I hate consolidation. Except I want only a single streaming service. But other than that, I hate it.

    I want multiple streaming services that can stream almost everything so there’s competition, but still a valid reason not to just drop and switch constantly.

      Multiple streaming services that all stream from the same database so the competition isn’t what licenses they hold, but how good their UI and back-end are. This only happened in the better timeline though with Harambe though…

  What company previously owned Rock Paper Shotgun?

  I was an on and off reader of theirs and really liked it in the beginner… but had the distinct impression they changed ownership a little while back when they added some pay walls and game guides.

    They were Reed Pop as well, but reed significantly downsized them a couple years ago.
