    The big question is whether this is for the better or worse.

        Not always! Giant Bomb going independent recently is one example.

        … It’s just mostly bad.

          Going independent isn’t the same as being bought by another company though. Going independent is usually good, being bought by another company is usually bad.

            Nah, they were never independent. They were owned by CBS prior to that, and before that they were owned by Red Ventures, and originally Whiskey Media.

        i mean the current Washington commanders ownership change is at least, okay. compared to an owner who was litterally blackmailing cheerleaders on foreign soil and throwing other team coaches under the bus to distract people from his own case.

      He said he’d gradually been transitioning away for some time now. But I’d like Nexus to be more forthcoming about the current owner who has apparently been increasingly active.

        True, NM has been getting stricter on mods and criticism for some time now. Makes me wonder how much worse it could get.

        If the new heads are crap, it doesn’t make a difference whether it’s sold or not.
