Title: If Nintendo ever was to go third-party, what would happen to PGC?
Post by: QuickKick on May 03, 2005, 10:29:09 AM: Now, I'm not saying it will ever happen: Nintendo is healthy, and the outlook is good. That said, I never like to say never, and have been curious about what would happen to Nintendo fansites if the company were to ever stop making consoles. So what would happen to PGC? Would you switch to Sony or Microsoft? Cover Nintendo as a third-party? Or just close up shop entirely?

Marge: Oh, anything, sweetheart.
Homer: Blow up the hospital.
Marge: Well...I said I'd do it, so I guess I'll have to.

Post by: Karl Castaneda #2 on May 04, 2005, 05:12:14 PM: Nintendo's said time and time again that the day they stop making consoles is the day they stop making games, so don't worry about such a situation.

Now come on and let's be realistic. While I don't see Nintendo going third party, just because they said before that they won't, it doesn't mean it's true. No one - not even Nintendo - can predict the future...

I suppose you're right - no one can predict the future. Okay, if Nintendo goes 3rd Party, PGC will deploy the NinteNinjas to go back in time and fix any mistakes that caused this to happen. There's your answer.

Post by: Nephilim on June 05, 2005, 04:45:25 AM: well planetdreamcast.com is still around
maybe a name change like alot of the N64 mags, well since most of them died after changing there name, might not be that great

Post by: vudu on June 05, 2005, 07:14:03 AM: Planetdreamcast.com still deals with the Dreamcast exclusively. It's not like there's a new Sega system to do anything with. They don't even have anything to do with new Sega games on other systems.

I think we're all assuming that the folks at PGC will start to focus on the Revolution after it's released.

Bahahaha!

It's his sometimes grammatically incorrect typing isn't it? Maybe he just isn't as "perfect" as you, but i see no other reason to suggest his account is a "joke".

Post by: KDR_11k on June 07, 2005, 09:14:26 AM: It's some downright idiotic posts but I guess the general acceptance of joke accounts as "funny" around here is making me paranoid.

Infernal: I had to laugh, Opera linked that to opera:illegal-url-0
