"An AOL researcher who put the queries online and a manager overseeing the project were dismissed, according to an AOL employee who did not want to be identified because the company does not comment publicly on personnel matters."
Yeah, wouldn't want anyone's privacy to be compromised??
I don't know; 5 games for $36 a game isn't a horrible deal, especially if you actually can get games on the same quality level of Prince of Persia SoT, etc. I guess as a bonus you get full access to a bunch of sites and some extra stuff. I don't really care for gamespy and ign (although fileplanet can be useful at times) so this isn't terribly attractive to me. For actual fans/current subscribers of the sites, however, this might wind up being a decent deal. Though in either case, I wouldn't go as far as to call it 'hardly worth it'...
