Videogamer in trouble?
I just had a call from an old but good contact from the games industry and they seem to think that Videogamer is on it’s way out. According to my contact who will remain anonymous as per their request. They told me that Videogamer hasn’t had any advertising in over two months, lost their main writer and their video capabilities are ’seriously flawed’ when it comes to competing against site’s like Eurogamer.
Advertising just happens to be one of their key revenue streams apart from the content services they provide companies like VirginMedia. The other interesting thing is that, if you look at the site, they’re heavily promoting a rival ISP rather than their partners service… seems odd but then, some people will do anything for a quick buck.
