does that mean you'll have to pay to access movie reviews and wade through full page flash ads? :roll:

Well.. It might not be all bad. It says they're keeping the same team and stuff.... shrug. I guess we'll see.

I'm all for it. But then again, IGN is a customer of the company that I work for...

Yea, I saw that. But you have to think that IGN has a vested interest in the website now.....

Sometimes selling out is okay and acceptable. Sometimes it is a bad thing.

I got a feeling this falls into my second category.

Yep, bad...

Knowing IGN they will mess w/ how the scores are tallied.

Then they'll charge you $20 a year to look at it.

Ouch, that hurts. I'm not a big fan of IGN at all, but RT was a fantastic site! Hope they don't screw it up, but I'd imagine they will.

I used to like IGN several years ago, then they started making everything member only acquiring all the other sites. Anyone remember Segasages/Gamesages before it became cheats.ign.com?

not to mention the ad-spammage EVERYWHERE! They will turn a 1 page article into a 3 page article, just to throw more ads at us.

So now I have to load those ad pages where they ask you to click here if you want to "continue" onto the movie review?
