Destructoid was sold to conglomerate Gamurs Group recently, who just throw a million or so at a bunch of sites and then gut them for parts. They're so uninterested in the actual enthusiast press within that the entirety of The Escapist resigned last year, due to mistreatment, ending Zero Punctuation after like 15 years.
