GameSpot Merger

In late 2004, CJayC made the announcement that GameFAQs was officially merging with GameSpot. Like the decision to sell GameFAQs to CNET, users were angered by the seemingly sudden decision to combine with GameSpot, hence losing their autonomy. Adding to their resentment of CNET, users directed their anger towards GameSpot, a hatred that still runs strong to this day.

While some users held CJayC accountable, the decision was made from the top. CNET, as the corporate owner of GameFAQs and GameSpot, saw little reason keep the two game communities separate and called for a merger of the two. The details agreed to by the parties is unknown, but it is known that the merger would only combine the board communities, with both sites retaining autonomy, although they were essentially relegated to different interfaces of the same board system. Despite CJayC's attempts to clarify the extent of the merger, tension was high in the user community.
