GBAtemp.net acquired by CNET Networks

[Lumstar]

It's still in bad taste either way. Regardless of the situation. Claiming 4chan owns the site would've been hilarious, not this.

 

[shadowboy]

LOL! You guys need to fix the fake ad XD 404 FTL!

 

[Rock Raiyu]

lololololol this is a funny joke. we are laughing so hard right now, that it's not even funny (get it not funny?!) but, what is not a joke is that GBAtemp is, unfortunately, owned by CNET. Doubt all you like, but it's true. JPH doesn't lie to you! R.I.P. GBAtemp

I don't think there kidding guys...

 

[ZeWarrior]

This is BS. I mean.. Even the first letters in their names spell April..

 

[beedog19]

Loving the thread and seeing some old members coming out of the woodwork. I'm with those that welcome our new fearless leaders

 

[Hideki-kun]

I can still doubt. XD.
I just think it's too fishy? APRIL? Around April Fools Day? Fake Ad? Not on CNET's list of networks?

 

[Sick Wario]

OK i'm scared now. the CNET 'bar' at the top of the page...

I have to hand it to whoever came up with this one. It is definitely believable. And most definitely scary if it were true.

Happy April Fools everyone!

"Today we become an official CNET Networks channel partner and the site becomes full property of GameSpot."

Now THAT is how you do an April Fools joke. Tell us something bad, then reveal it is a joke. Don't tell us something really good that ends up being a joke *ahem* R4.

 

[FireEmblemGuy]

This topic is full of fail.

I'm sure you could have come up with something better.

 

[RiotShooter]

Epic Fail

 

[six-five-two]

There is no way that this great forum has turned into a cesspool also known as Gamespot.

Hope this is an April Fools Day joke (even though it's a bit early).

7 did that around December, it was pretty rad. Tons of people were fooled.
