BGFG (By Gamers, For Gamers) today announces the acquisition of N4G.com - as well as the entertainment partner site, Filmwatch.com, the anime-focused AnimeShinbun.com, and the tech website Techspy.com
The deal, which also includes the websites’ social channels across Facebook, Twitter and more, further expand BGFG’s presence in gaming and technology, as well as giving the company a strong foothold in the growing entertainment sector.
First and foremost, the team at BGFG will work closely with the existing N4G community manager, Christopher Goodno, his team of moderators and the community, to help improve the site and make it even more enjoyable and intuitive - putting the community first.
This will include numerous UX fixes, performance tweaks, improved personalisation and more with the aim of creating the premier community for gamers to get their news.
Andrew Kirkcaldy, CEO at BGFG, said: "When the opportunity came up to buy N4G, we couldn’t say no. This has long been a fantastic, thriving community and we are confident we can work closely with the great team in place there to help fully realise its potential.”
N4G co-founder, Vegard Aure, said: "We started N4G over 15 years ago with one simple goal, to create the most up-to-date news portal for gamers.
“For almost two decades the site has been the home to one of the most vibrant and active online gaming communities, and we look forward to seeing the N4G community continue to thrive as part of the BGFG family going forward.”
N4G Community manager Christopher added: "I look forward to this new partnership as we have discussed efforts to improve the user experience and the site's ability to ensure that you are getting the news you want to see and are encouraged to discuss games with those who love them as much as we do."
Official Press Release at https://www.bgfg.co.uk/news...
Assassin's Creed Shadows digital storefront pages are up, and it confirms the game will require an internet connection, and MTX.
One thing that's messed up about this, is there will be people playing pirated versions of this without that restriction, while the paying customers will suffer. Just like how some games will have lower performance on PC due to DRM, while pirated copies don't.
Anyone that wants to say something like "Who doesn't have internet access in this day and age?" There's plenty reasons people won't always have access, such as living in rural areas with spotty coverage, for example.
Three single-player games in a row they've done this with now. Those f***ers weren't kidding when they said gamers need to be comfortable with not owning their games. As a physical collector, and somebody who enjoys Ubisoft's open worlds, this is a nightmare scenario for me. Absolute scumbag company.
Starfield’s latest update is here and it’s bringing several new features with it!
The PlayStation Portal has been "exceeding supply for several months" in the US and doing better than it ever was expected to.
I'm laying on my bed with Eve on my Portal and my skama in tha air. 😶🌫️ Chilln. I have been playing it on my big tv though just cause I like to play the main story on there. I do side quests and collecting on my Portal.
Seems like industry advisors and analyst constantly underestimate or straight up talk from their back side
Good news?
We know there are going to be a lot of questions. Please feel free to ask them here or PM me directly. It has already been expressed to the new team of owners that you lot are a people of action and not words.
Congrats Christopher
