Xfire otkup

Bas citam i ne vidim nikakave vijesti okolo.

evo i ja dobio obavijest, no kad idem stisnut na "more" ništa mi nedolazi

pisalo je i na njihovoj stranici koja je sad down :(

Prije 10dana pricao sam s adminom za marketing na xfire,i rekao je da MTV nije sponzor za Xfire vise i da ce xfire polako propasti,ali vidite prodali su ga sad zavisi no novog vlasnika,al vidim web master od xfire pravi prepravke na xfire na webu sad.Pa nebi se trebalo nis promjenit

da i ja mislim.
Al jbg mislim da ce ostat neki admini od xfire

Ajde ajde pa nije to balkan da se kupi firma i onda je se uništi, to samo balkanci rade 

Najvjerojatnije da ih je EA otkupio (po glasinama koje sam čuo )....ali mislim da je ili neka kompanija koja se bavi tak nečim sličnim ili neki jači game developer

et meni sad dodje da pocnem plakat 

ovo je logično kao i kupnja jubitoa, pod patronimom američke vlade kupuju se stranice s najviše korisnika, facebook nije jer je on sam prodao se njima. sve u svrhu prikupljanja što više informacija i kontrole čovječanstva, ovo je ništa čudno. odavno nas žele sve više i više kontrolirati, a xfire je jedan medij preko kojega se lako razazna dosta o ljudima. tako da sada će vas još više kontrolirati, sve u svrhu da iaju što više informacija pred potpunu kontrolu svijeta. naravno to zvučni mnogima paranoidno, ali za par godina kada izađu vidjeti će se sve. biti ćemo im roblje

Samo.....

The 18- to 35-year-old male demographic has been a highly coveted market segment for a while now, and when corporations find a business that caters to that crowd successfully, they're willing to pay for it.

Viacom Networks is the latest multinational to dish out big bucks to reach the youth market, today announcing it has reached an agreement with Xfire Inc. to acquire the gaming utility company for $102 million in cash. Viacom will make Xfire part of its MTV Networks, where it hopes to increase its advertising revenues by leveraging the parent company's marketing channels and global penetration.

Viacom president and CEO Tom Freston called it a "terrific deal" for his company. "Xfire is far and away the leading PC gaming communications and community platform, has outstanding management, and is a perfect fit with our growing digital businesses at MTV Networks," Feston said. "It's a bull's eye against our young audiences, and meets our strict financial targets."

Xfire offers gamers a suite of tools to complement their online gaming experience, from server browsing and file downloading to in-game messaging, voice chat, and stat tracking. Earlier this year, the company settled a lawsuit brought against it by Yahoo. Yahoo alleged that Xfire's in-game chat program infringed on patents it held from its own instant-messenger service. Other MTV Networks properties include GameTrailers.com, Comedy Central's MotherLoad, and Neopets.
