Shacknews cumparat de Gamefly
Magazinul de inchirieri online, GameFly a anuntat astazi achizitia site-ului de gaming independent Shacknews. Ca parte a intelegerii, GameFly a cumparata toate site-urile legate de Shacknews inclusiv FileShack. Compania inentioneaza sa pastreze staff-ul si directorii de la Shacknews, in schimb doreste sa vina cu resurse aditionale in dezvoltarea site-ului.
Shacknews a fost fondat in 1995 si a devenit treptat unul dintre cele mai importante site-uri legate de gaming din lume. In fiecare an site-ul aproape si-a dublat audienta si a lansat multe servicii adiacente precum Shackvideo.
Suntem in a doua luna a anului 2009 si deja doua site-uri mari au fost cumparate (celalalt fiind 1up). Oare in Martie ne asteapta alta surpriza?

"GameFly has demonstrated a true understanding of and commitment to Shacknews' gaming culture," said Shacknews founder Steve Gibson, who added that the decision to sell the company was not based on financial problems.
"We are confident GameFly will protect the legacy and community we've established, while at the same time providing much needed resources to expand into new and exciting areas that would not otherwise be possible."

"We purchased Shacknews because it's a great site," said GameFly co-founder Sean Spector. "We believe we can help expand its reach--we're not looking to twist and turn the site into something else."
"With its avid, engaged community and commitment to providing an independent voice for gamers seeking the most accurate and up-to-date news and information, it goes to the core of our vision as a company, which is to be the ultimate resource for the entire gaming community," added GameFly CEO David Hodess.
