And why exactly did he sell the site to people he knows would go against the spirit of everything the original site stands for. ?

Money, fatigue, fear... there are plenty of reasons. I hope he got paid well because it is worthless now.

He probably burned out as he was heading into the direction of /pol/, I hope to god he kept an archive of everything so that it could be reposted someday and kept any email communications with himself private.

Billy was forced by authorities to turn his site into a honeypot, but although they could force him to hand over data on users, they could not force him to actually write articles, so he just left the site to die and only published ads. Now someone from Resetera was dumb enough to actually buy the site to "dunk on the Nazis" and immediately announced a hate speech policy to cause butthurt, not knowing that Billy had already given up on the site in order to protect the userbase. Thus Billy became the unsung hero, forever misunderstood. He might not be the hero we wanted, but he was the hero we deserved.

I just made this up, by the way.

Imagine unironically thinking "cheats" are a relevant thing to gaming anytime in the last 10 years.

Speaks wildly to exactly how out of touch and retarded they are.

Are any "games journalists" gamers?

The famed Dean Takahashi couldn't beat a Cuphead tutorial and didn't know Mass Effect had talent points until after he beat and reviewed it. Yet he is considering a top name in the industry.

Well one angry gamer team were legit gamers until today . was it so hard for them to find real gamers for them to sell the site too? or people that wouldn't destroy the spirit of the site?

Only if you buy into the SJW notion that allowing speech is endorsing it.

And when you do, then you will keep censoring people, until you yourself get censored by someone who does not want to be associated with your quote-unquote "far-right" views.

They should be allowed to say but the rest are allowed to call them out for it

Allowed, yes.

Is there any point to it? Unlikely. Most people LARPing as Nazis online generally aren't, and they are trying to get a rise out of people. The people who are actual Nazis usually at least try to hide their views.

The problem with being for open speech is you will have shitty people on your side who can only exist because of it.

You can't have one without the other, and trying to police it will always compromise us worse than just letting them do their thing.
