Geheh?

"This combination offers tremendous synergies as GameSpy and IGN have very complementary strengths," said Mark Jung, IGN's CEO. "GameSpy is the market leader with the PC game audience, game downloads and online gaming technology. IGN is the market leader with the console game audience and in community services such as message boards. Both companies have very strong subscription acquisition and retention programs."

[marksmanHL2 :)]

ahem yes...


Merger could be good I spose. Depends if they have more servers and more bandwidth for none subscribers because of it... or less.....


EDIT: cheers mchammer :rolling:

 

[Maxi]

Wow, omg the two devils become one!

 

[Letters]

One devil at least... IGN is okay... if only because I know the 'secret way' (it seems they are unware of a few certain links that don't check to see if you're an insider...) to their video reviews that are supposed to be 'insider only'... haha... I got the Deus Ex 2 video review just today... let's keep this hush-hush though, eh?
:cheers:

 

[Pauly]

i like gamespy a lot...at least their fileplanet

 

[Dedalus]

don't any of you smell a large monopoly creeping onto us here? one big behemoth blaring out it's opinions to a community twice the size as before.

beginning of the end if you ask me.

 

[MultiVaC]

Dammit, Gamespy is growing. Burn in hell Gamespy.

 

[Pauly]

why do u guys hate gamespy??

 

[Direwolf]

Because they have to hate something.
But really, I have no idea what this is going to mean. Hopefully more content, but its anyones guess at this point probably.

 

[Pauly]

since i have a subscription maybe..ill get 2 !! for price of one!! woohoo

 

[marksmanHL2 :)]

I don't really *hate* it. But I don't like how you get such slow download speeds unless you subscribe or are really lucky....

And adverts ......

And generally getting a poor service which you can get else where for free..........



e.g:

http://www.gametrailers.com.

 

[Direwolf]

I've never gotten the slow speed complaint. I get perfectly fine speeds every time there, or at least as good as everywhere else.
And Gamespy extends well beyond Fileplanet FYI...and I actually like the Gamespy site. I dont agree with the reviews as often as some other places, but the news and humor are excellent.

i'm gonna lock this cause of the wierd stuff... feel free to make another thread about the topic...
