    XFIRE - Under new management (majority of existing team leaving)

    Just saw this Bulletin from XFIRE

    Xfire was bought by new owners today. Most of the team that has built Xfire over the last six years is leaving. We enjoyed working for you for the last 127 releases and wish we could stay to create the next 127. Good bye, good luck, and game on. --- The Xfire Team
    Hmm - I wonder what effect this will have.

    It depends, how does Xfire currently generate income and who bought it? We must find this out.

    Now, according to Wikipedia, XFire changed ownership to 3DRealms today.

    yeah just saw the same thing


    Perhaps they'll bundle Duke Nukem Forever with the next XFIRE release (no I really no I'm leaving XFIRE).
