No way on the $20 million stake. TechCrunch, which gets close to 10x the traffic of Giantbomb only sold for $25 million.
Fuck. THIS.
Lol would be SHOCKED if anything or anyone at GiantBomb went for $20 million. The only way that happened is if CBS put a ton of investment in it and it is unlikely after an acquisition of this type unless they are going to fundamentally change the way GB does business.
To proclaim that much after the buying of a company is unheard of unless there is a split.
I'm going to say that I don't know what I'm talking about before saying this, but... Isn't it very likely that Shelby Bonnie owned a massive controlling interest in that company? Guys like Jeff, Dave and Will probably held very minor pieces.
For Jeff to have a $20MM stake would probably mean that Giant Bomb (and Comic Vine?) sold for at least $100MM, probably much more because I'd imagine Snider's share is the same as Jeff's. And that's not even close to possible.
Bottom line; Wikipedia is not to be trusted and talking about another person's money makes me feel dirty.
I don't think Ryan would be calling up GameSpot staff to appear on the Bombcast. I assume GameSpot staff will appear in Giant Bomb video content, however, maybe during live show events or similar. What I'm really hoping for is more podcast content. Now they have financial security; now they don't have to worry about bandwidth; now they've got access to great minds like John Davison. I really hope they start putting out more podcast content.
Would be pretty awesome if they make a 2nd podcast with Dave, Drew and whoever else.

I just thought of something this could potentially mean Alex would become a fifth member of the bombcast....
I love the irony of CBS firing someone then five years later buying up an entire site he co-founded.
Can they fix GameFAQs?

Whoa, video is private now.
That sucks for them.
As someone who knows people who worked for CBS when they basically ran all of radio. Good luck on having an original opinion about anything. If Gertsman thought Gamespot was bad, then Giant Bomb is fucked.
I've never voluntarily visited 4chan, but for me Gamefaqs was like 4chan without the pictures. Forgive me GAF I used to be a Gamefaqs member a long time ago. I was in college and it was the first time I had free internet access. Gamefaqs nextgen forums were like every troll banned from every site merged into one.
Everyone is saying Davison will run off again... isn't he super high up on the corporate ladder now?
Besides being offered a position as a god or something....
I used to love Gamefaqs, not for the posters obviously, but because it doesn't allow images or links of any kind, no avatars, no giant signatures, just text. I still even keep my old account logged in at all times to collect karma that doesn't do anything just in the off chance that the site becomes bearable again.
aren't the gamespot and gamefaqs boards the same thing kinda?

I like Klepek and think Kerrrby's an idiot.

Do what? They have the longest podcast out of any other gaming podcasts I listen to.
i remember when gamefaqs was bought by cbs, they said that they would stay independent and cjayc assured users that they wouldn't see gamespot being integrated into the site.
lol at how that turned out, they share forums have direct links to each other sites and cross advertising. what a joke.

Guess that Kane and Lynch money wasn't worth it, eh Gamespot?
Wow that certainly doesn't look like it would get fucking obnoxious to look at every day
