WoW Database Site Sells For $1 Million
MattHock writes "Wowhead (a WoW information database) has been sold to ZAM (Affinity Media) for the price of $1 million. ZAM is the owner of several other WoW databases, including Thottbot and Allakhazam. Until recently Affinity was also the owner of IGE, a highly controversial company that sold in-game wealth for real life money. Affinity recently sold IGE, which Wowhead claims as the reason they allowed the sale to go through. But did ZAM really sell IGE? The blogger who put this story online doubts that IGE and ZAM have actually distanced themselves. He believes that the supposed sale was just actually a means of restructuring to hide the relationship, similar to how IGE's relationship to Thottbot was hidden for a number of months through a convoluted set of parent companies."
how much is that in gold?
sigfault. core dumped.
I have a tendency now to mentally apply the suffix 'Allegedly' to all slashdot headlines in the best tradition of HIGNFY. I find it makes the vast majority much more accurate.
Do not try to read the dupe, thats impossible. Instead, only try to realize the truth
What truth?
There is no dupe
Can't you read? They have to ZAM, at least if they want the million dollars they do.
From the attached icons, something to do with "role playing games", whatever they are.
If you don't know, telling you won't make you care.
