Huh... GamePolitics has shut down... (and I only just found out)
How about that. Here is their twitter (for now), on which they discuss it as well (though they mostly just link back to the now dead main site). And yes, the site itself is indeed down now. Apparently, it has been down since April, though I only just found out. Shows how often I checked the site lately, I guess. >_>
This concerns me mainly in that pretty much every link I ever made to that site in my LJ (quite a few) is now a dead link. The old links (or, at least, the few I checked) do still show up on archive.org though, so on the rare off-chance that someone ever looks back at my old posts, for whatever reason, and sees one with a gamepolitics.com link in them and wants to see one of those sites, there is that option, I guess. *shrug*
For what it's worth, the former GamePolitics writers are still active on this site, apparently. But then, my own interest in such things, generally speaking, has been pretty low lately.
(I'm sure the shutting down of GamePolitics makes Jack Thompson happy, if nobody else. ¬_¬)
