I just heard the new news. Peter Griffin has just acquired CNET. Quagmire is now a mod on this site and Stewie just won the Primaries.

This is great news...

this really does suck, because GBAtemp will never be as good as it once was. In a couple of weeks you won't see me as often because of this change.
I hope CNET knows that they've lost many of GBAtemp's members.

I love how many noobs read the first post and not the rest of the topic, and then go "screw this i'm leavun". It's like they've never heard of April Fools Day.

I agree.
Without ROM release information and such - why take over GBAtemp? You've got GameFAQs for general gaming discussions.

I smell greed.

It's DEFINITELY an April Fools' Day joke. It's already past midnight or near enough now in most parts of Europe. (Didn't check original post time, but even then it'd be 4/1 in Australia already ffs!)

I'd've found it amusing had they done an entire skinning like /. did for OMG! Ponies! That was f***ing hilarious... Too bad they haven't topped that one again... yet...

April fools or not, its good in a way, but if it changes the way this site is used, then i vote for a new site. if people make one, make sure to pm me or email me, lol, don't leave me out.

most important:
-jump translation (well, there is the owner's wiki for this..)
-home of rayder's large cheat database.
-*********** release names (mostly for the numbering system)
-wiiscene release names (doesn't concern me, but its important as well)
-gbascene release names (doesn't concern me as well, but its important)
-latest on wiibrew
-latest on dsbrew
-latest on gbabrew

if any of those get affected greatly, i will be leaving for sure.
I also love this site for the flashcard talk and information/opinion sharing on which card is better.


If it wasn't for this site, i wouldn't even know a new game came out, and i would never buy them because i wouldn't even know they came out. (wow, i repeated my point twice in that sentence)

Aw well, whatever happens, it will mostly like be for the best.

And even if it is an April fools joke, I'm glad i got the opportunity to post my thoughts. hope the mods don't take it over and edit it.

I don't see any reason to edit my post anyways, unless free speech is no longer allowed in a forum that gave all its users blogs, lol.


EDIT: I CANT BELIEVE WHAT WAS EDITED WHEN I POSTED THIS TOPIC. "D-S- -S-C-E-N-E"
im beginning to get mad already.

We are trying our best to keep GBA, Nintendo DS and Wii "scene" release information on the site, we are currently under negotiation with CNET Networks and will let you know its fate as soon as we do.

You know, with that sentence, and the Golden Sun thing, I'm kinda wondering if this is real too. I mean, if you get rid of ROM/Homebrew, then what's the point?
