   Mergers are always bad for the workers, so it's nice that IGN's acquirement of Gamer Network removed all doubt by immediately making "redundancies" among the staff. https://www.gamesindustry.biz/ign-entertainment-acquires-eurogamer-gi-vg247-rock-paper-shotgun-and-more

     @Dio_Senrab Well, that's some good news. Still one company having a such a large media portfolio makes me nervous.

     @Dio_Senrab Right. There's never an acquisition of competition that doesn't result in layoffs. Hopefully, the numbers are limited.

     @silver_huskey I don't know about this one. They already appear to have gotten rid of some good people, like Brendan Sinclair of GIBiz. But I hope it's good news for most of them.
