People don't like change. This is not the end of the world. I have faith in the ability of all the duders to make the best out of this thing. My only concern is that "the best of this thing" might not be the reason I came to this site, stayed and paid to keep their stupid shit going.
If all this means that everything stays the same and the guys have more money and freedom to do fun stuff - I'm all for it.
I am worried about a few things though:
1. I don't really know how the membership money changed WM, but I didn't see a very big change. Either there wasn't THAT much money, or they put it to use in places i didn't see.
2. This deal (if i understood it right) will seperate GB from the WM sites framework. This might mean a lot of big changes, and I don't know what will happen to the Wiki, those stupid achievements, these forums and especially the hamburger photoshop thread.
3. As far as I know, no one talked about this, but I don't know if the communities of both sites will merge. On the one hand, this one changed a lot in the last months (and not to my liking, but hey...) and on the other - part of the reason I left GS in 2008 was that all i found was reviews that were all the same, a community i really didn't like, and a lack of any other sort of content that was interesting.
4. Where are they going to put the warlords machine?!
I really hope this turns out for the best. This site has been a large part of my life for the past 5 years now and I'd hate to see it change.
Here's to you giantbombers.
