It's that annoying sig pic generator that tells you how much someone has been playing WoW. wat?  I get some decent mileage out of X-Fire taking screenshots and especially movies and having it all in one place/app. I don't think I'll bail just yet, but I do fear change. |

Looked around and the last time it was bought was fro $102m.I suspect someone is really looking to create the gamer social network while also being able to sell player data (maybe not personal information, but who knows) to interested parties. EA would love to know how players actually play their single player games versus 'lab' conditions or self-reported behaviours. |

EA would love to know how players actually play their single player games versus 'lab' conditions or self-reported behaviours. EA bought Rapture and never did a damn thing with it (publicly). That said, I've mainly used Xfire for the in-game chat and not for screenshots (aside from ME2), so I've nuked it and just added Xfire to Raptr for the chat (for as long as that works). Edit: Word order. |

Isn't it pretty much assumed that any time someone buys a site that is a "social network" of any sort for gaming, it is going to be IGE people putting up the dough?
I know I assumed it when I opened the thread and saw "bought" in the first line.
