With monopoly of all game review, they will receive a lot of money from AAA. All the crap will be written by AI. Looks a lot of money to be made. IGN was point less many yea ago, now we need to start to ignore all others.

So basically have we only steam reviews to trust? Steam got a lot more power with this.

If they bought the domains and fired the people it should be easy for someone else to start a new site using the available talent pool to quickly become a relevant name as well.

Me personally, I strongly dislike IGN because (other than all the common reasons) they force me to access a poorly translated version of their content when I'm perfectly capable of reading their originals in English, so even if they have an article I'm interested on, I can't easily access any decent version of it because or my geographic location.
