When was that though? The site used to be a lot bigger than it currently is!

3 million is insane it's not like the site get so much traffic. I honest'y don't believe it. the site is also a pain to use when using mobile.

It used to get a lot more. Plus it probably had some value from selling sales data to business clients. The sales tracking has declined quite significantly over the years, for a number of reasons, so that part of the site has likely declined in value by a significantly larger amount than the news articles and forum sections.

ioi got offered 3 million for the site and he turned it down. Logically, if he refused to sell for that amount, the site must be generating hella money

When was that though? The site used to be a lot bigger than it currently is!

I have no clue that offer was outta my ass but when I joined the site at the end of the PS3/360 gen, it was pretty big and the forums were chaotic. The community was active af so I just assumed that some millionaire investor probably wanted to buy it.

My 300iq assumption turned out right though since CGI technically confirmed it

Beef tacos? Pigeon tacos? Rhinoceros tacos? I mean, they all have vastly different costs!

think about what data for 20k users and ad revenue for 5m hits was worth back in 2008

Instead of seeking to convince others, we can be open to changing our own minds, and seek out information that contradicts our own steadfast point of view. Maybe it’ll turn out that those who disagree with you actually have a solid grasp of the facts. There’s a slight possibility that, after all, you’re the one who’s wrong.
