The best gaming news of the year.

 

[Fess]

Congrats! Rich has been around since forever.

 

[MiguelItUp]

Good for them! It's always cool to see folks break away from something like this.

 

[Durin]

Will echo good for them. I can't imagine anything Eurogamer or IGN did that made their content better.

I never understood their payment/business structure. They were owned by Eurogaymer/IGN but ran a DF specific Patreon like an indie Youtuber. Who was getting that money? I'm assuming them, cause otherwise why on God's green earth would people be Patreoning IGN/Eurogaymer money? But then also they were all presumably drawing fat salaries and benefit packages from their corporate owners, so why were people also paying them Patreon bucks?

Just an incredibly bizarre structure no one has ever been able to explain, I've mentioned this in several threads at this point.

 

[reezoo]

How much of it is owned by dark1x now? I watch that channel for him.

I think IGN just had an ownership stake in the company. So DF would have been responsible for generating income and paying wages.

He owns 5%, and his three chins own another 5.

Why did I have it in my mind that Digital Foundry was controlled and owned by Eurogamer?? I must've been living under a rock.

Yeah, I aint never paid

I thought that they were independent all along, only Rich and John being with Eurogamer - I know that they were bought by IGN, but still

Nice for them

 

[ecosse_011172]

If they're rid of any presence or links to Eurogamer, then that is a massive W in itself.

Why?

I'm sure you're a svelte Adonis...

I'm getting lots of likes so it's certainly not "the community", just a few kids.

My man you seem so fixated on what's "adult", are you trying to roleplay your maturity? This is GAF not Fallout New Vegas

 

[ReBurn]

Means nothing btw.

No, just laughing at the people obsessed with whether someone likes games with balloon tits or not.

Worth more than gold.

Both are trash. Maybe df will go even more woke
