    1. This was obvious as soon as IGN bought Eurogamer out, why keep 2 sets of staff doing the same thing?

    2. Well, yeah. The entire point of buying Gamer Network was to remove competition, not to expand reach. IGN has spent the last two years absolutely gutting Eurogamer and Rock Paper Shotgun.

      Thankfully the Digital Foundry guys bought their company back, and the other staff from those groups has been starting up places like Jank.
