My TIL has nothing to do with who they acquired today but rather that they own Humble Bundle. When did that happen? I did notice in a bundle they were wrapping in an IGN account I had no interest in. (Friends often have to use that for gifting games cause of steam region locks).

I'll never forget my first buy out experience when GameSpot bought GameFAQs. Who themselves got bought or passed around, now under Fandom (who incidentally owns metacritic and more) and itself is owned by TPG, whos whole business is just owning shit or parts of shit.

In hindsight that's also my first experience with enshittification. GG, teenage me.
