I will read the whole article later, but from what I've read, it's a very creative and interesting take as to where IGN Nintendo is headed. It's sad really, because the original N64.com and later Ign64.com was not only one of the first Nintendo websites I visited back in the mid-late 90s, it was also one of the first websites in general that I ever saw when I was first getting acquainted with this new thing called the internet (new to me at least).
Now I simply can't go there anymore, not necessarily because many of their Nintendo articles have turned into Nintendo bashing rants, but from the mentality that comes with this. They treat their readers like crap; like lesser people who are blinded by Nintendo products and they act like they are trying to "show them the way." They have turned on the fanbase that made them popular. I simply cannot respect an organization that treats its own customers like such shit. after a good 10 years, I am done with Ign for good. I don't feel I should be giving website hits to such a site. Now I only frequent vgchartz, gonintendo, and occasionally GT for my gaming releated news, and amazon reviews for game reviews (I find a majority of average gamers to be more trustworthy than one gaming journalist with a possible agenda).
