Default Myspace Team Buys Out Big Online Gaming Sites!

Remember these sites? well guess what? DemandMedia have just bought them all out and is picking off big sites for big offers one by one...

Arcadetown.com
Casesladder.com
Freewebgames.com
Gamedelight.com
Gamerival.com
Grab.com
Heavygames.com
MyLeague.com

and they also bought out eNom.com one of the largest domain hosts in the world?!
eNom - domain name, internet services, dns hosting - PRESS RELEASES


That scared the heck outa me when they bought over so many sites in so much time it just shows how rich these guys are and what they can do...

I just wanted to post it here to keep some of you who aren't in the know in well the know?

well if it ends up like a addictinggames.com thing then good at least then other arcades can rank better search engine wise... i think personally that when MTV bought addictinggames.com they basicly killed the site completey... it was good before why change it? sometimes i never do understand corp giants...

Ever heard of copy and paste? its very useful thing these days i heard? but what i was implying is "they have just bought them all out and is picking off the big sites one by one" its a expression like say there buying them out like its nothing to them..

thats what i was aiming for but when you type fast i guess everybody misreads or mis counters the phrase.
