GamersHell.com next on acquisition list? GoogleHell, MSNHell, YahooHell...
Once upon a time, there was a coalition to defend end-user interest and fight demo exclusivity. Two years later and 3DGamers are proudly part of the IGN network and Filefront has been flogged to Ziffmedia. Now you can guess demo exclusive will raise their popularity again, last month we intentionally ignored Earth 2160 demo which had 3 days exclusivity to Fileplanet/3DGamers but we were alone not newsing it (we silently mirrored it) and now I fully understand why a certain site didn't even answer to coalition call.

Ziff Davis Buys FileFront
Big news, folks! FileFront is now a proud member of the Ziff Davis media empire, standing right alongside Electronic Gaming Monthly, Computer Gaming World, and 1Up.com. blah blah *omissis* blah blah !


If you have some solid backbone in North America or Asia and wish to contribute to GamersHell.com indipendence, we're seeking additional 100mbit+ mirrors, we'll need them more than ever now (contacts under About Us menu). Kudos to all the sites working (hard) to keep gaming downloads cost and registration free and to any company that felt our 150,000 unique per day userbase and maybe our all-free model were worth their advertising budget. Closing GamersHell.com wishes to warmly thank all the great guys that made our mirror network possible.
