News Corporation to Buy IGN Entertainment |
|
<SNIP> NEW YORK (AP) -- News Corp., the media conglomerate headed by Rupert Murdoch, said Thursday it will buy Internet company IGN Entertainment Inc. for about $650 million in cash.
San Francisco-based IGN and its network of sites, most devoted to video games, will become part of News Corp.'s Fox Interactive Media unit. </SNIP>
I'm not a big fan of IGN, but can Rupert Murdoch please keep his hands out of gaming? ...please!?

1. It's not just about gaming....it's about controlling the internet |
|
IGN has a lot of other assets other than just the gaming one.
Also Murdoch been buying up other internet entities.
