Every time I start to think that video game journalism cannot possibly become more biased towards triple A publishers they prove me wrong right away.
This should be illegal. IGN buys up practically everyone except Kotaku so they technically don't own a monopoly over the gaming media sector?
EDIT: Hang on, wait a minute. Humble is a games publisher. IGN is a games reviewer. Isn't that conflict of interest?
Aside from the fact that this is IGN, this amount of consolidation is really bad for the industry

Does this mean digital foundry will turn to shit?
If Digital Foundry is ruined tomorrow, they'll have a fully funded Patreon by Saturday.
I'd be willing to give money to that too!
You mean they'll be doing a 404media?
DF is 50% owned by Gamer Network according to their statements. So who knows 🤷♂️
Them and Tech Jesus are my last vestiges of good YouTube content for gaming content on the more technical side.
At least a couple of those sites are mostly bot-written advertisements. RockPaperShotgun being the biggest offender...a shame because it has the best name

Yeah I used to enjoy them. But they've been really shit recently
Even PushSquare is owned? Isn't there no one independent...?
TAKING BETS FOR LAYOFFS!
Disgusting...
Fuck you for ruining Humble Bundle, IGN, you fucks.
