I have been a member (or lurker) of the site for a long time. I feel that in some odd way this website is as much a creation of its awesome community as it is Whiskey Media's. As such, this takeover need not be an inherently bad thing, as long as the community calls out any unwanted outside influences or decisions (e.g. splitting the bombast in the past). I have faith that the Giant Bomb team will operate with the same level of integrity as they have always done, and will continue to provide excellent coverage of the gaming industry with the same oddball antics we have all come to expect and love over the past few years.

The fact that they now have corporate backing both fills me with excitement and also terror about what they now might attempt.

It is still a WEBSITE, about VIDEO GAMES...and love.
