ReedPop is ‘investigating the potential sale’ of its Gamer Network business.

The UK-based operation includes GamesIndustry.biz, Eurogamer, Rockpapershotgun, VG247 and Dicebreaker . The business also holds shares in Outside Xbox, Digital Foundry and Hookshot.

Let them die

Well that’s certainly something.

Robux are true evil. It’s possible to just blow hundreds of dollars worth of them on the utmost useless shit. I’m talking about “boosts” for singular rounds on singular games that don’t matter in the slightest. So yeah it’s possible a kid gets $100 in Robux for Christmas and uses it all by the afternoon to help him get some boosts that only last a single round on random games. The game is constantly throwing popups telling you to buy this shit too.

It’s a vile game. Gaming world would be a better place without it.

Seems like a golden opportunity for MS to fix their media coverage problem!

All joking aside, hope no jobs are affected by this though I’m pessimistic

I feel like a lot of these gaming sites just don’t have a future, unless you’re offering something unique or serving a specific niche I’m not sure how you are meant to compete against the endless other sites doing the exact same thing you are

The age of streamers and youtube have killed the need for the majority of these sites, clickbait will only get you so far

I think the bulk of that relates to educating your children. Both my children play Roblox but I explain that they only have so much, so they are both very conservative with what they spend.

I also monitor what games they are playing and encourage them to avoid poorly rated games. One of my daughters has recently run out but she knows she has to either use her pocket money or wait until Christmas (she’s waiting).

Only one there I care about is Outside Xbox and probably DF, Outside Xbox peeps have been pushing their Patreon for a long time so they probably saw this coming so hoping they’re good if something happens, I’d definitely join up if it helps keep the crew together.

Looks like the clickbait headlines aren’t working out.

ARK Survival Ascended is in #17 most played game in USA. You can see why Ark 2 being exclusive is essential.

Is the OG game still on GP?

It’s weird that they had the first on GP for so long, having the sequel on GP and as exclusive but not this

At least they didn’t look like liars from the last message.

Reap what you sow. They deserve it?!

Maybe this is way they are so hungry for clicks and publish garbage.

Poor @Sikamikanico lost his entire night to recovering what was nearly a complete failure of the entire forum. A king!

Ahh man, you beat me to it Brit! Way off my game today

I hope next year isn’t lawsuit saga for gaming. Granted, arguably warranted, but yeah.
