[skit_data]

I actually started playing it the other day but the app seems all effed up on iOS.

 

[ShaikhCroft]

Damn what an acquisition day!

 

[Kagey K]

Shut her down. Game industry is over folks. NYT won.

NYTs is going to buy Nintendo.

[Maiden Voyage]

Okay this one actually impacts me. Fuck this!

 

[Magic Carpet]

That Carlos Slim about to announce a new console made in Mexico? Start with Wordle and away he goes.

 

[rodrigolfp]

Bought WHO?

 

[Fluo]

Better acquisition than Bungie

 

[godhandiscen]

Bought WHO?

The new puzzle nerds are fawning over. I haven’t seen it but I know about it from all the posts in the hackers forum I visit. It’s Sudoku for the new generation.

RIP Wordle

 

[Jsisto]

Am I out of touch if I have no idea what wordle is?

 

[wolffy71]

Wordle going exclusive? Oh no

 

[GHG]

How do Microsoft and Sony respond to this? Are Nintendo doomed? Will PC survive another year?

 

[Dream-Knife]

I have no idea what this is, but good for them.

Indies are the future.

 

[Duchess]

This gaming generation is getting seriously weird.

 

[reinking]

I only started 12 days ago. Streak ended today so F' it. I don't care.

 

[Pantz]

You don't spend low-seven figures to release Wordle on other platforms.

 

[TheDarkPhantom]

Breaking: I just bought a pepperoni pizza!

I'll keep playing the game until my streak ends, wouldn't be surprised if NYT puts it behind a paywall/has adds plastered everywhere.

You and me both. Thought it was a typo joke thread

When will Nintendo respond!?

 

[Draugoth]

2022 the year of acquisitons and NFTs

 

[Hendrick's]

Wapo fans right now.

 

[Wildebeest]

End of an era.

The basis for Wordle has existed for decades in the form of TV game shows in many countries ("Lingo" in the US and UK, "Motus" in France). I really don't get why it's so popular all of a sudden.

This console war need to be over.

 

[RoadHazard]

Tomorrow: The Washington Post buying EA.

Reminder : Jeff Bezos owns the Washington Post.

 

[MastAndo]

They'll probably remove the future words from the page source code. There goes my Wordle hustle.

 

[Ellery]

Gotta say that I played more wordle than I played any of those ....


Nah we are not going there.

Good for the wordle dude making money

 

[Inviusx]

Guess money talks after all. So much for being "I just wanted to make something fun and free for everyone". NYT are probably going to monetise the shit out of it now. What a clown.

 

[Sub_Level]

Washington Post bros...this was supposed to be our year...

 

[jaysius]

This sucks, wordle is amazing because it's simple and AD free, I doubt NYT bought this thing for it NOT to make money, also their site is awful, hopefully somehow they don't fuck up what's good about the game.

I have very little hope though that that will happen.

 

[AJUMP23]

Good for mr Wordle

 

[TidusYuna]

Lewdle's Gary Whitta was right all along. Bigger News is coming and it just came!

Yeah I'm good.

 

[Jigsaah]

HOLLLLYYYYYYYYY SHITTTTT!

Also, what's Wordle?

 

[Kiddo Cabbusses]

Weren't newspaper-based print media supposed to be dying a decade ago? Where did NYT get all that money?

The gray lady ran the news of the world for generations. So they have some coffers.

 

[LordOfChaos]

When does the buying streak end?!

 

[ZehDon]

Shit, can I change my vote in that thread about the best acquisitions in January 2022?

 

[Unknown?]

Greeeaattt, now they can spread misinformation in games?!
