A New and Exciting Beginning

[chaud]

so what about those of us who bought premium etc?

Premium will remain active for at least as long as you paid for, if not longer.

[Schmilblick]

Let's all welcome the new Chinese owner spyware company.

[Slowpoke is a Gamer]

I for one look forward to when this site is revamped to be some general gaming forum a'la what happened to Engadget/WoW Insider.

[Itheni]

The main owners of the site have been long gone.

They been just cashing those checks, smart move.

I bet you would wish you would have sold 4 years ago

[3DTyrant]

Am I correct in saying MMO-Champ is staying, but changing hands of ownership?

[Itheni]

Staying but depending on if the new company knows how to Monetize the asset

Am I correct in saying MMO-Champ is staying, but changing hands of ownership?

[xskarma]

Am I correct in saying MMO-Champ is staying, but changing hands of ownership?

Yep. And hands of ownership who care about the site and want it to do well.

[Th3Scourge]

I for one welcome our new insect overlords

[Lolsteak]

Yep. And hands of ownership who care about the site and want it to do well.

So they're not going to fill it with ads?

" we could no longer justify the substantial engineering resources it took to run the properties"

LMAO

[Borgmore]

Let’s hope the new owners don’t put up with all you mouthy cocksuckers


Infracted for flaming.

Unless the contract specifically stated that they could not close MMO-C down for a minimum of 2-3 yrs, I'm betting this site will be closed in a few months.

[Tziva]

I believe I called this awhile back saying that curse is going to have to sell

When you posted that, the site wasn't even owned by Curse. It had already been sold twice at that point.

Twitch bought Curse, including MMOC in 2016. Fandom bought the site as part of a package of websites from Twitch in January 2019. However, they were only interested in a few of those sites and MMOC wasn't one of them. MMOC is now in hands of people who care about it and want to keep it running.

it's always the ones who complain who end up being the biggest offenders, I do wonder if any policies will change though.

forgive my naivety but if they are going to shut it down, why are they paying money to buy it in the first place?
I really have no idea how business work.

Aww that’s cute... you are trying to protect your job... It’s over

This is not my job and has nothing to do with my job.

I am not really even sure why you would interpret anything I said as defensive. I was just stating objective facts as to the timeline of the sales of MMOC. It has nothing to do with me regardless.

Anyway, believe what you want. I'm not here to argue about silly things.

The entire package of sites was sold as a whole.

A New and Exciting Beginning
Deciding to close several of the Curse community websites wasn’t an easy decision for our company, but we could no longer justify the substantial engineering resources it took to run the properties. No one in our office wanted to see MMO-Champion shut down, so we carefully searched for a solution.

We are happy to announce that we have been able to identify a company with the necessary experience to buy and run these sites (including MMO-Champion), so that the passionate communities will continue to have homes on these long-standing sites. With this, we have started to transfer the sites to Magic Find. As for the staff on these sites, it will be up to them and Magic Find to decide how they’d like to move forward.

It’s a new and exciting beginning for MMO-Champion. We wish Magic Find the best as we say goodbye to several of the properties that helped our company grow into what it is today.

This will be the last update from Curse/Fandom. All future communications will be from the new site owner.

Goddamn, you people ruin everything and then cash out? Thanks for nothing.

They can write down the value of the bad assets and hide a bunch of profits from the tax man with on-paper-but-not-really "losses".
