Affinity/Wowhead Interview
June 29th, 2007
The often irritating Mike Schramm of WoWInsider has an interview up with the leads of Affinity and Wowhead regarding the latter’s recent purchase by the former.
WI: But how long have Affinity and IGE been different businesses?
JM: Springtime. Since the spring.
WI: A few months ago?
JM: I kind of said this, and I’ll say it again, hey it’s a private transaction, and I don’t want to go give a bunch of details, but as a guy who’s running the content business, I’m pretty pleased that we’re no longer running IGE. Because some gamers don’t like that association. It’s only a positive thing.
That’s some pretty damn careful wording from John Maffei on the subject of how Affinity and IGE are related these days.
We’re no longer “running” IGE, eh?
The original blog entry that broke the news is sounding more and more authentic by the day.
But like I said, if they offered me a million bucks for my website, I can’t say I wouldn’t lie through my teeth about not having sold out to RMT either.
If they offered me a million for my website I wouldn’t lie…
Unless they offered you a million to lie about it. I’d lie for a million.
