Forums - PC - Xfire bought out

Just got this message on X-fire

System Broadcast:
Xfire was bought by new owners today. Most of the team that has built Xfire over the last six years is leaving. We enjoyed working for you for the last 127 releases and wish we could stay to create the next 127. Good bye, good luck, and game on. --- The Xfire Team

Anyone knows who bought them?
Can't find anything on Google.

Yeah, they bought them in 2004 I think, for around $100m
