IGN buys 1UP

[MelodieOctavia]

Welp...time to close down my 1up account. I'll be damned if I ever have an account on IGN. I'm not going to risk the chance that IGN merges accounts with 1up.

Wut? Greek?

That was a typo, I'm sorry.

THE RYDIAN IS THANKFUL FOR YOUR LACK OF IRE

...you have GOT TO BE KIDDING ME. I was just thinking(like A FEW MINUTES AGO) of making 1up my main news source for gaming, and now this?

...*sigh.* Back to Destructoid...

1up.com was possibly one of the worst sites on the web. Good riddance.

And IGN isn't?

 

[_Chaz_]

The diabolical fiend known to us only as IGN.com grows forever stronger.
With this latest edition of influence and fan base, the future looks bright for IGN and bleak for others.

Let the terribleness COMMENCE!

So is this like Best Buy buying Greek Squad?

or coke buying pepsi...

or nintendo buying sony.......

could someone explain all the hate for IGN? I listen to their podcast, its very entertaining and I agree with most of the stuff on there. I never go on the site, so could someone explain?

IGN is widely known for it's biased reviews and there has been proof they have been paid/bribed in the past to give certain games better review scores, As far as I have read anyway.

Not to mention, as far as new gaming consoles go, they usually give very WRONG information way before the released...but it's all from a "reliable source" you see...
