The big question is whether this is for the better or worse.
It’s always for the worse
Not always! Giant Bomb going independent recently is one example.
… It’s just mostly bad.
Going independent isn’t the same as being bought by another company though. Going independent is usually good, being bought by another company is usually bad.
I thought they went independent after having their independence taken by fandom?
Nah, they were never independent. They were owned by CBS prior to that, and before that they were owned by Red Ventures, and originally Whiskey Media.
He said he’d gradually been transitioning away for some time now. But I’d like Nexus to be more forthcoming about the current owner who has apparently been increasingly active.
True, NM has been getting stricter on mods and criticism for some time now. Makes me wonder how much worse it could get.
So far no changes in the official UK company listings has happened for the black tree gaming ltd. (they have 14 days to list changes in ownership based on UK law). So far this seems like internal change, but we will see in the following days. But I must agree, the site has been going downhill for quite some time. “Announcement” itself was weighing in heavily on emotions than data and details, which is sleazy way of avoiding saying the important stuff. Theres no way those two had the money to do a “buyout” unless they won a lottery and if some corpo bought them out, there would be leaks or something tangible (so far theres nothing, but its too early I guess).
