this is already leading to layoffs, including “GamesIndustry.biz managing editor Brendan Sinclair” and “Alice Bell, deputy editor at Rock Paper Shotgun”

I’m not a massive IGN hater but yikes. This is consolidation I don’t want to see… I like Eurogamer a lot, I hope they don’t change much
Scott Pilgrim narrator: “They will.”
Holy hell.
And the enshittification of everything marches onward.
At least it’s not Kotaku but all this consolidation is far from good news. Heaven forbid reporters should get to stay independent, let alone being puppeted by a company that’s little more than a meme.
I hate consolidation. Except I want only a single streaming service. But other than that, I hate it.

Now it’s $79.99 per month for the ad tier and $110 for ad-free.
Nah, that’s only for Canadian mobile plans.
Ouch, smash a bottle of maple syrup over my head why don’t you.
I want multiple streaming services that can stream almost everything so there’s competition, but still a valid reason not to just drop and switch constantly.
Multiple streaming services that all stream from the same database so the competition isn’t what licenses they hold, but how good their UI and back-end are. This only happened in the better timeline with Harambe though…

ugh that’s a shame i loved ian, aoife, and zoe back in the day (i know aoife left recently but still).
Well, if those publications weren’t already shit they’ll be very, very soon.
What company previously owned Rock Paper Shotgun?
I was an on and off reader of theirs and really liked it in the beginning… but had the distinct impression they changed ownership a little while back when they added some pay walls and game guides.
They were Reed Pop as well, but reed significantly downsized them a couple years ago.
