God fucking dammit

 

[Dany]

Fuck this.

 

[StopMakingSense]

So. That happened.

.

 

[thebeeks]

I just.....

...huh.

Fuck.

 

[SteveWinwood]

Gary said them selling his shirt was huge news. At worst the tricaster is busted again.

Or the sites breaking up and going separate ways...

 

[R2D4]

BIG HUGE AMAZING BONKERS disastrous news.

 

[Kyou]

so they're basically gamespot now

crap

 

[HotHamWater]

Assuming that's true, and I have no reason to suspect it isn't, I now expect this livestream to be full of "we swear we aren't going to change, guys."

 

[Foliorum Viridum]

Wait, so GB guys are ending back up with the same cunt bosses that ruined Gamespot?

I'm confused.

 

[Subterranean]

What the fuck? I don't like the sound of this.

 

[Felix Lighter]

That's not cool, awesome news.

 

[ultron87]

Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo.

Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo.

 

[ShockingAlberto]

This was inevitable, really. Whiskey Media was never a money-maker.

Better that they get sold than completely close up shop, I guess.

 

[sixghost]

Why the fuck would Tested and Giantbomb be split up?

 

[Deadly Joker]

Will Jeff get Kane and Lynched again?

 

[Kacho]

Wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooow. This is going to be very interesting.

 

[Majine]

That is, uh, bad news.

 

[Xanathus]

Oh wow I was planning to logging off but I can't wait to see how they try and spin this.

 

[KarmaCow]

Hmm, well that sucks.

 

[BiggNife]

So uh what happens to subscribers

 

[Broder Salsa]

Jeff is leaving to pursuit other business opportunities

 

[SteveWinwood]

Worst news ever.

 

[JBuccCP]

The Whiskeypocalypse has begun.

 

[Aaron]

On the upside, Tested will finally be invited to Apply keynotes.

 

[Subterranean]

So uh what happens to subscribers

I am wondering the same thing. I gave them money for a year, what do I get for that if they split off?

 

[LiK]

Sounds liek the end of Whiskey Media

 

[MrDaravon]

This seems like very bad news.

 

[LuchaShaq]

Breaking?

http://allthingsd.com/20120315/exclusive-bermanbraun-buys-most-of-shelby-bonnies-whiskey-media/

Tested/screened won't even be connected to GB anymore? Bummer fuuuuck.

Hope the subscriber content continues to be great+ picks up again because while it was worth it to support them, and eventually felt like it was a good deal for the content, if they are owned by cbs I'll be much less likely to continue paying just because I like them.

 

[Kabuki Quantum Lover]

This is awful news.

 

[kingocfs]

Wait, so GB guys are ending back up with the same cunt bosses that ruined Gamespot?

I'm confused.

Tested and GB splitting up I can understand, Tested needs more staff. But what the hell is this.

 

[louiedog]

If true I wonder how subscriptions will be handled.

 

[Dany]

How long until GaintBomb is absorbed into gamespot and Jeff becomes editor and chief...AGAIN!?!?

 

[FStop7]

Breaking?

http://allthingsd.com/20120315/exclusive-bermanbraun-buys-most-of-shelby-bonnies-whiskey-media/

Holy shit.

I said selling Giant Bomb to CNET would be insane, and it looks like the insanity is true.

 

[()_listerfeend_()]

On the upside, Tested will finally be invited to Apply keynotes.

Every cloud!

 

[Banana Kid]

I literally just renewed my subscription yesterday, hopefully that'll still matter.

 

[Volcynika]

And I just renewed my subscription like yesterday.

fffffffffffffffff

 

[LCfiner]

well, there ya go.

I can't help but be pessimistic about the outcome of all this.

“With the addition of Whiskey’s first rate team and powerful, state of the art publishing, data and social tools platform, we will be able to further enhance our user experience and engagement, and provide our advertising partners with unparalleled data insights,” said Lloyd Braun and Gail Berman, who run BermanBraun, in a statement.

almost everything about that quote makes me uneasy

 

[sixghost]

GOOD NEWS GUYS ALL MEMBERS OF GIANTBOMB WILL NOW DO ENDURANCE RUNS YEAR ROUND.

 

[Broder Salsa]

WHELP

http://allthingsd.com/20120315/exclusive-bermanbraun-buys-most-of-shelby-bonnies-whiskey-media/

Giant Bomb might be sold to CBS

CBS owns Gamespot

what the fuck....

 

[slaughterking]

Uhh what?

 

[Hoo-doo]

Chat is up!

http://www.giantbomb.com/chat/

 

[Arlecchino]

At least Tested gets its wiki, right guys...?


Right??

Guys?

 

[boredJonathan]

Well. This live stream will be interesting. It'll either be full of promises that things 'aren't really going to change' - or a kind of funeral vibe to it.

Damnit.

 

[Defunkled]

YEAH GOOD NEWS

 

[Kandrick]

Holy shit if true.

 

[Jo-El]

Maybe they're all quitting and Dave's place really is their new office?

 

[Kyou]

how about some music until the livestream starts!

[Live Free or Die]

NOOOOOOOOOO!

 

[Darklord]

 

[Willkiller]

BUT WHAT DOES THIS ALL MEAN?
