IGN - $800m
Myspace - $500m

WTF!! over $1b on internet sites?

 

[Mrbob]

IGN will soon be entering the no spin zone.

Hawt.

 

[wobedraggled]

Fair and balanced

IGN went gangbusters when their forums went pay. It's pretty ridiculous. How much does their staff make... anyone know?

Reminds me of Killer 7

The forums suck over there.

Myspace?

IGN worth $800m? How much do they pull in from the registrations every year?

 

[sangreal]

Guess I'll have to stop trusting the tamatometer

 

[Netrunner2k2]

Sounds good to me! I love Fox and IGN.

 

[sorryaboutdresden]

Damm, I thought they were nuts giving Myspace 500 mill. The are really going all in on these internet sites....

 

[acklame]

wtf

 

[temp]

(this is a joke. fox would not actually do this)

Oh

 

[Santo]

IGN was shopping around for a buyer around the 800mil range, so this makes perfect sense. It's disgusting that News Corp. is now going to own the Internet.

"So mr. Miyamoto-san, what do you have to say to the Cube Factor viewers about this latest Zelda delay?"

"The delay is simply to allow our developers to cre-"

"Shut up! Just shut up! I won't allow you to bring your spin here!"

"..."

"Well we're just gonna have to agree to disagree. Coming up on the Factor, Sony fanboys are claiming those Killzone shots are REALTIME!?! We'll have Ann Coulter and Pat Buchanon on to set the record straight."

Really? I wasn't too sure. Thanks for pointing this out.

:lol

 

[Rur0ni]

Ninja thats just too much. :lol

 

[Teddman]

This is for real. Other sources:

Business Week

Red Herring (a tech site)

 

[Zeo]

Huh. So it looks like it might happen eh? Not sure what I think of this. Hopefully it brings more posts like Ninja's. :lol

 

[suaveric]

I can't believe myspace was worth 500 million.

 

[SantaC]

I wonder how much Matt C gets paid. I dont think I want to you afterall.

 

[Macam]

How appropriate. Not that I ever go to IGN in the first place considering what a clusterfuck their layout and ads are; very convenient that they avoid doing a RSS feed even. Of course, nor does GameSpot.

 

[FeloniousMonk]

Solid gold bullion stamped with the IGN logo, and interns to carry it around for us.

 

[Rorschach]

I haven't read IGN in so long. This is just one more reason not to.

:lol That shit was funny.

So what the hell's going on with the .coms lately? Bubble not so busted anymore?

That's it? My part-timers make atleast 2 solid gold bullion.

If it's over minimum wage, it's too much. :lol

 

[Sanjuro]

Fox just wasted a shitload of money.

Fox has unlimited continues on shitloads of money.

As far as the editors, reviewers, and articles of IGN.com...I have never looked thought highly of them and still will probably continue to do so, I see this having no factor in that.

Clearly

 

[Deku Tree]

Just cause the sites worth money, doesn't mean the staff are getting paid.

:lol I've been saying that word all this week.

 

[SickBoy]

You know, for all the Fox News thoughts going in here, you guys have to remember that games are entertainment, so they won't fall under that banner.

Instead, IGN will get the Fox entertainment treatment. They'll open up a new IGN domains and then cancel them after six weeks. If they can figure out how, they'll also move them to make them harder for fans to find.

Caught me there! Of course, it'd be easier to find things on the site if it weren't so cluttered to begin with. :: shrugs ::

 

[andthebeatgoeson]

So, did IGN own all of us who predicted they would be closed in 6 months after they went with subscriptions? Come on, fess up. I did. And I still haven't payed for more than a month of subscriptions.
