GameFAQs Acquired by CNET

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the changing-of-hands dept.

CNET gets the first site most people turn to when they need to get past level two of the dungeon, and GameFAQs gets an added boost. Makes me curious what premium features they have in mind, and how useful they'll be.

    Uh... the content on that site is made by a horde of volunteer gamers. How on Earth can you charge for access to a site whose content isn't yours?
    Are they going to charge ME for access to the very FAQs that *I* made?

    GameFAQs has apparently been sold to CNET. The operator says it will stay free for now, but premium services may be introduced later.
