Was this before or after they were bought? Cause I'll give em a 2nd chance if it was after.

about 6 years before they were bought by ign

They were partially owned by Eurogamer since the beginning. Eurogamer was bought by IGN last year although DF ownership situation was slightly more complex than that. This is the first time DF is truly independent.

Yep. So being bought made no difference in their coverage
