ThermoNukePanda Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 Joystiq, a gaming site that has existed for a whole bunch of years now, was purchased by AOL back in 2005. It's being reported now, rumor or no, that AOL has plans to close down the website after traffic has declined 18% in the past year. Both Kotaku and Joystiq are reporting the story, but at this time AOL and Joystiq have no comment on speculation (although Joystiq seems aware that it's pretty much bound to happen). Kind of sad, I always enjoyed checking out Joystiq every couple days and also looking out for reviews on their site as well (since I appreciate differing viewpoints) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Siren Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 Well that sucks. I always hate to see a decent site get shut down. I'd much rather see D-toid or Kotaku go, but I think they'll be sticking around for awhile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThermoNukePanda Posted January 27, 2015 Author Share Posted January 27, 2015 There is a wow related joystiq website that I visit frequently. I'll be sad to see it go It's unknown if Massively is going to close. All I know is Joystiq is closing down. It has a few affiliated websites with it that AOL purchased as a package. Kind of like how Kotaku is part of the Gawker network (Jezebel, Gawker, Deadspin, etc) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
