I don't want to really say too much more until there's more to tell (I mean, the sale isn't even final yet), but I'll just say this.

ViacomCBS doesn't feel like CNET/GameSpot/etc are relevant to their strategy. To put it more bluntly, they aren't interested in us.

Red Ventures IS interested in us. They want us as part of their strategy. It isn't really in their best interest to buy up a property just to close it. Considering GameFAQs is a direct component of GameSpot now (that is to say, GameFAQs traffic is accredited to the gamespot.com domain), we are here to stay.

Though its assuring nothing will happen to GFAQs, but the problem is that this site is the only site to list every video game in existence which no other site has yet to match.

StrategyWiki is sort of making half-measures, they're slow to update.

This seems to fall in line with what Jeff Gerstmann has said about Red Ventures over at Giantbomb and on Tumblr. Cautiously optimistic I believe was his wording.

Honestly, they probably won't care and the ladder structure will still be SbAllen then whoever is under him. Who knows maybe RedVentures will hire Error fulltime so he doesn't have to answer calls like "have you tried plugging it in?" at his other job.

I'm pretty sure it's just CNET, Gamespot, Giant Bomb, and Metacritic.

CBS Interactive going away would basically mean ViacomCBS was having a fire sale >_>

The way the Giant Bomb staff had kinda made underhanded jabs towards CBS Interactive corporate here and there, I imagine this has the potential of being under less restrictive overlords.

But what do I know. lol

This is merely speculation on my part but I get the feeling some at GB may have known about this a head of time as they had been talking about setting the budget for 2021 and what that entails trying to do their job from home instead of at the office. Streaming, work spaces, internet, mics, lighting, etc.

I would imagine CNET would have put a hold on all of that if they were going through a sale.

Nothing I've heard so far leads me to believe this will affect GameFAQs much. Of course, if I hear otherwise I'll be sure to post relevant announcements.

No moreso than I was yesterday.
