I now hate IGN.com

Get up this morning. Go to their forums to check out some topics and to chat with some people I know on there and see whats going on. I get there and WTF? They changed their boards to COMPLETELY IGN Insiders Only. That is the biggest bunch of BS EVER.
To get more people to join they "Lowered" the price of IGN Insider trying to get more people to join, but they barely lowered it. Im not going to give them my money to use a once free forum. I hope the go down hard for this one and end up in bankrupt city.
Greedy SOB's.

Yes I remember the days of yore when they actually had free content. You know when more people really knew what IGN stood for.
I used to stop by there every night, but now its usually once a week in hopes that I can see something without having an insiders pass.

I never cared much for their reviews. But I do like their boards. Well some of their boards.
Its so funny seeing on the PC Gaming board people bragging about their GF2 MX getting 180fps with full textures, details and 32bit colors.
Or on the Xbox board the countless posts about the "Official Xbox GTA3 Commercial" that was faked by TeamXbox.
Or The blatant attacks on the PC Gaming Board from the Xbox Fanboys claiming that "PC Gaming is dead and Xbox is Superior".

*shrug*
charging for the boards will just keep the lamers and 12 year olds off them. It's probably a good thing.
However, I dislike IGN because not only do you have to pay for reviews and other content (which in and of itself isn't that bad), but all of their content is biased towards advertisers.
I haven't seen IGN rate even a horrible game less than 8.0 in a long time. And their previews make EVERY game sound like it's going to be the most amazing thing since pants.

Yeah, their reviews are not good at all. At least they got Kabuki Warriors right.
I really just dont get why they made the boards insiders only. The mods for them dont get paid and snowball takes care of the maintenance. Maybe IGN is getting deeper into debt.

The real question is.. who gives a damn?
The only thing Ign has ever had that I made actual use out of were the cheat databases.
gamewinners has every (working) cheat ign has and more.

I always thought IGN reviews were pretty spot on. Ocassionally I'd disagree (Vagrant Story 9.6?!), but thats natural with anything. Like every game review- its all oppinions. If you dont like theirs, who gives a shit.
as far as the boards being insider only- who gives a shit. The boards were awfull. god damn 10 year olds telling me my dreamcast was dead and that it sucked (after I posted a question about resident evil: cv). Everytime I tried to read the boards, I ended up laughing my ass off simply because it was always 'my system ownZ yours!' the only decent board was the DC import one- people there usually knew their stuff. othewise, let the insiders have them. like nova said- maybe that will weed out all the freeloadin, moronic, 12 year olds.
