>Gawker Media has filed for bankruptcy protection after it was ordered to pay $140m (£98m) in damages for publishing a sex tape of wrestler Hulk Hogan.
>The company released a statement declaring it had reached an agreement to transfer its seven brands Gawker.com, Deadspin, Lifehacker, Gizmodo, Kotaku, Jalopnik, and Jezebel to publishing group Ziff Davis.
Ignoring the poetic justice of an entertainment site having to sell itself to pay for a sex tape, what does this mean for the future of everyone's most beloved and reliable source for video games news?

Nothing, just means they work for IGN now.
Who, what and who cares?

Prepare for this thread to be moved to pol.
I don't know, but what I know is that
>There's people ITT who think that Bayonetta is better than Samus
>>340846547
as far as games go absolutely
design wise i'd say it depends on your particular fetishes but i like both
Nice thread, but have you considered that this post end in 0?
All this means is that these shitty publications will live on forever and only two Jews will have paid the price. Also Hulk will now only be paid around $20 million.

WORDS THAT KILL

>for being fired from your high paying job and your public image ruined
faggots should've been forced to pay more,
Probably nothing. As shitty as Kotaku is, it's one of Gawker's profitable parts. Whoever buys the damn thing will keep it going just as is.
Hopefully those faggots get ign shut down in a similar fashion.

I feel bad for nintendrones.
Their selection of waifus is sad.
>>340845772
Nothing will happen. They'll continue to do the same stuff they always did under a new owner.

IGN has bought it so >>340849034

No, just fantasy caught in a landslide.

It means they will continue to be the exact same website only they work under another jewish overlord.
Woohoo, let's make a million threads about this! This sure is worth celebrating over!
The best part was that the court case was intentionally pursuing ways to ruin Kotaku, by making sure they couldn't claim it under insurance.
>>340849256
The game is already one year old? Jesus.
New owners will eventually shut down Kotaku and just pillage some writers to IGN. It is not financially reasonable to maintain 2 identical category of sites.
>>340848075
Hulk isn't even worth $140
>>340848808
>Their selection of waifus is sad.
HAHAHA NO
>a vidya network with Kotaku and IGN's "qualities"
I unironically can't wait.

Eat the slim jim

Does nobody remember what Ziff Davis did to EGM?
