I remember them coping how it‘s actually good that they‘re owned by IGN now not too long ago lol

Of course this is good and I welcome it

I mean, becoming owned by IGN was ultimately a good thing, as the previous owners were apparently preventing DF from going indepent before. At least that’s how I understood it from their announcement video.

Weren’t their previous owner EuroGamer?

SomethingBurger@jlai.lu on 08 Aug 23:26 collapse

Yes, but IGN bought EuroGamer.

I’m not into “game journalism” or whatever you’d call these guys. What sets them apart from any old random steam review?

icermiga@lemmy.today on 08 Aug 19:02 collapse

They review graphical quality, not gameplay. They’re very thorough and detailed, and generally very pleasant and positive and fair, and non-sensational and have no emotional manipulation engagement stuff

That actually sounds interesting to my cynical ass. Will check them out, thanks!

That’s good, I should get better prices when smelting my scrap metal online now, I’m tired of paying for low quality copper

Good for them!

I was just thinking recently about how amazing this channel is. They provide such a valuable service, and the space is so much better off with them as a part of it.
