Not always! Giant Bomb going independent recently is one example.

... It's just mostly bad.

Going independent isn't the same as being bought by another company though. Going independent is usually good, being bought by another company is usually bad.

I thought they went independent after having their independence taken by fandom?

[–] AceTKen@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 month ago

Nah, they were never independent. They were owned by CBS prior to that, and before that they were owned by Red Ventures, and originally Whiskey Media.

i mean the current Washington commanders ownership change is at least, okay. compared to an owner who was litterally blackmailing cheerleaders on foreign soil and throwing other team coaches under the bus to distract people from his own case.
