Global Gaming Factory X is stupid

I think the web 2.0 business model is hilarious. Start a company, gain traffic, sell to some idiot for a ludicrous amount of cash.

Despite this recession I keep hearing about, Global Gaming Factory X seems to have no trouble coming up with 7+ million to buy a site that’s going to instantly lose 99% of it’s traffic. Good for them. This is clearly a group that should have consulted with, I don’t know, anyone who has ever downloaded music illegally. The Pirate Bay is massive not because it offers some unique experience, but because it has a huge collection of torrents, which can be used to download movies, music, and software. One of the first moves of GGFX will be to stop hosting these torrents.

Not surprising at all, The Register is reporting on a large number of account deletion requests on the massive torrent site. Pirates are a fickle bunch.

Oh well. Pirate Bay, at least you’re in good company. You’ll soon be joined by Twitter and Facebook, and YouTube’s been at the party since 6PM… lame.
