Just got this message while playing a game -

System Broadcast:
Xfire was bought by new owners today. Most of the team that has built Xfire over the last six years is leaving. We enjoyed working for you for the last 127 releases and wish we could stay to create the next 127. Good bye, good luck, and game on. --- The Xfire Team

The fuck is that shit.

I seriously hope the new "owners" don't make it so we have to buy Xfire to continue using it, or change it to something else completely...

"conquer the competition"
"helping gaming companies monetize their games"
"virtual currency, social gaming, microtransactions.."
"revenue brands publishing bla bla."

The second they start asking for ANY money to use Xfire, or any feature of it, I'll uninstall.
