As mentioned, it's not really my place to talk about how the company makes money so I kept things very basic. If they wanted me to discuss their marketing strategies, I would've been happy to elaborate. As they didn't, my keeping my job is pretty important to me so I'll stick to keeping it basic. :)

I have no problems responding to actual questions when I can. I see no point in subjecting myself to antagonistic posts for someone's entertainment. A few people here seem more interested to trying to insult me or whatever they are doing rather than actually talking about the topic at hand.

tl;dr - The site isn't dying, this domain change makes us more revenue, and we're investing a lot of that revenue into our contributors and into site contests.

If you have some kind of question about this that I can actually answer, feel free to ask. If you want to take out your anger on me for whatever reason, go nuts but don't get salty when I don't respond.

The GameSpot fiasco was going on for years before the logo branding. I was hired after the decision was made to combine the varying parts of the sites (this was decided in 2003, I was brought on in April 2004). The decision then was made specifically to share content on both sites.

This time around, no content will be shared. It's simply a domain change. You can check out comicvine.gamespot.com for a living example. This site moved over a year ago with no repercussions and their userbase is almost as passionate as ours, albiet smaller. Look at their insane user powered wiki, for example.

Hey guys, read the whole message first. This is actually a good thing!

As someone who read most of it... This reeks of desperation to stay afloat.

That said, if all that changes it the domain, I don't care. I got used to the last major layout change, and so did the rest of us, despite all the bitching. I'll get used to this even faster since it doesn't affect my use of the site at all beyond updating a bookmark.

I doubt this site will completely die off until/unless it is shutdown/absorbed completely into Gamespot.

I can't speak for him, honestly, but the people in charge of then CNET and the people who are in charge now are some very, very different people. I'm one of the few still left who lived through the first merger and they are scared to death of even attempting to do anything like that ever again. Honestly, the only fear they had about making this move was people comparing it to the debacle of 2003. No one wants to repeat that.

He's far from professional, especially those first couple replies to my comments. Not what you'd expect from a site admin of a site at this scale.

He's gonna stay in the thread responding to shit more intently now that we've called him out on it to save face.

CJayC was saying very similar things. The merger started as a rumor by people here because they saw it as the inevitable conclusion of the deals CJayC was making, and thus the infamous response from CJayC on site announcements stating that GameFaqs would never merge and the soul of the site would remain intact.

Of course CJayC tended to be arrogant as well, but still several questions remain.

That's good to know I suppose. Just so long as you keep it in their minds.

The other legitimate issue here is of course that long or confusing URLs don't tend to help people. If your reference point is the average click bait addict, a URL such as gamefaqs.gamespot.com would frustrate them and turn them away. Further, it would confuse just about anyone with a hint of dyslexia.
