Forums - Website Topics - Will this site ever be sold?

Inspired by the thread about chart track being sold, my question is:

 

Will ioi ever sell this site to a global company for a huge wad of cash?

 

I've thought about how I'd deal with a proposal like this if it were my site and I've come to the conclusion:

Fuck my principles, fuck the users, thank you very large bank balance :P

Please don't ioi , even though you'll get a nice car(s) , loadsa beautiful girls , a large house and a bloated bank account , Selling VGCHArtz isn't worth the happiness you get from .... us :)



Reminds me of Simpsons Season 4, Marge Vs the Monorail.

(paraphrased):

Marge: "I think we should use the money to fix up Main Street"
Crowd: "Yeah"
Mayor Quimby: "That's it, the money will go towa-"
Abe: "Wait! Yeah, sure we COULD spend all of our money on Main Street, we COULD put all of our eggs in one baske-"
Crowd: "Main Street! Main Street! Main Street!"
Quimby: "All of those in favour of the old man's idea, say 'aye'".
Crowd: "AYE!"

I don't know why it reminds of that scene, but it does.



Didn't you guys get the news? ioi sold the site to NPD last month.



Complexity is not depth. Machismo is not maturity. Obsession is not dedication. Tedium is not challenge. Support gaming: support the Wii.

What do I hate about modern gaming? I hate tedium replacing challenge, complexity replacing depth, and domination replacing entertainment. I hate the outsourcing of mechanics to physics textbooks, art direction to photocopiers, and story to cheap Hollywood screenwriters. I hate the confusion of obsession with dedication, style with substance, new with gimmicky, old with obsolete, new with evolutionary, and old with time-tested.
There is much to hate about modern gaming. That is why I support the Wii.
