One of my most beloved tech YouTube channels just announced that they are fully independent! This is good news if you are a fan of independent media and don't love large companies buying everything then a little while later shutting it down. With that, Digital Foundry has purchased back IGN's stake in it to be fully independent and are now looking to expand. Digital Foundry reviews video games and it's focus is on the nerdier side of how those games perform on modern hardware. They also have a retro focus which I've shared quite a bit here on Cheerful Ghost.
"Amazing news! Digital Foundry has parted ways with IGN and we've bought their shareholding in the business. What this means is that from now on, all aspects of DF are decided upon by DF. We answer to nobody but you, the audience. We are fully independent, we’re proud of that, we think it’s the future of games media - but how far we push, how ambitious we want to be... well, that's where YOU come in. Rich, John and Alex discuss the news in this brand new episode of DF Direct."
