... 1-up wasn't making money, Ziff needed to offload it to stay afloat, UGO needed a way to try and make them relevant over other gaming news portals that are similar, IGN, etc...
You know, a few weeks ago I wondered to myself "how on earth do they keep all these podcasts running? They must be doing pretty damn well. Regardless, nice to see a big site podcasting ETC DRAMATIC IRONY ETC." Sad that, in the era of global media, they still strive to be just like everyone else to make money.
Also sad that in order to "save" the place, they had to remove most of what made it what it is.
Incidentally, I also wonder how printed magazines (video game or other) manage to keep afloat. How many people even buy 'em? How much
do they cost? Even I only buy 1 mag, once a month out of a possible... 15-ish options. Worrying. After all, I like 'em.
MY WORD!
That's... pretty good. Glad to see they're still broadcasting together!
No one's seeding, though. ETA Infinity. My mistake, so many Seeders it downloaded before I noticed.
Will listen tomorrow.
