I hope people have to pay to play games there, so they can come over to AG!

Hmm..

I've been thinking and their are quite a few people who are holier-than-thou when it comes to Kongregate.

As for the sale, well I'll be watching to see how this affects Kongregate. Interesting.

I really hope they don't start selling Kongregate games at Gamestop that would be wrong

@CenationAA

That would be self-defeating for Kong, and against Jim Greer's vision. Kong is based around "free online games", if that were to change that wouldn't help at all.

I have to say, most of my interest comes from how this will indirectly affect AG in the future. Of course, whatever its rivals do affects it of course. I don't really care too much about Kong itself, but it's nice place I must say. Except for those forums.

That's great for Kong, it is destined for greatness.[/sarcasm]
But seriously that is good for Kong, I don't go there that often, but that's only because I like forums and the forums in Kong are scary!!

This is somewhat weird news, Kong had enough going for it that it didn't need to sell itself out, I wonder why gamestop bought it though?

Kongregate = $$$

I believe that is why. Kong's actually a good flash games site. It is.
