ParanoidObsessive 10/04/22 1:27:21 AM #32:	Conner4REAL posted... This site has been irrelevant for the better part of the decade. Basically. And it's not like the site hasn't been passed off from one shitty company to another multiple times already. Red Ventures was only able to buy the site because ViacomCBS dumped it for being worthless garbage. ~~ViacomCBS was right.~~ Now Red Ventures is selling off the shittier parts of its portfolio while keeping the only parts they believe are still worth having. And they don't think GameFAQs has any real value. ~~Red Ventures is also right.~~ Revelation34 posted... Oh for fucks sake. Time for a really shitty redesign on Gamefaqs. As opposed to the ones we've been getting for nearly 20 years now? Jen0125 posted... Right? I'm hoping this means moderation will actually crack down on misinformation and right wing hate propaganda on here. Likely you'll see even less moderation as the new owners continue to ignore the site, refuse to put any real money or effort into it, and just try to think of new ways to squeeze a little more blood from the stone before tossing the shitty potato to the next asshole. It'd be like someone buying MySpace or AOL Instant Messenger today and thinking the new owners would do anything meaningful to try and revitalize it as a major player in online culture. That ship has long since sailed, sunk, and rotted away underwater. At this point I'm mostly just astonished that someone's still willing to pay to keep the servers running. --- "Wall of Text'D!" --- oldskoolplayr76 "POwned again." --- blight family <cite>ParanoidObsessive posted [p:968475654] in Death of G...
