We're definitely still working out all the details of how this will
affect our development process, what sort of cross promotions we
should do, and how much we'll be operating with MTV on a day-to-day
basis. One really nice thing is that they've said again and again
(and I know we've said it here too) is that they really just want us
to keep doing what we're doing. They'll bring some sophisticated
marketing and ad sales to the table - for the same slot, the little
banner at the top of the client, they'll probably be able to get
people to pay many multiples of what we got. And with some strategic
help from the rest of MTV's properties , Xfire could go from
4,000,000 to HUGE in the next year...and then suddenly we're looking
even more valuable.

"for $102 million in cash."
I'd say they did alright.

Team Leaving
August 2, 2010--Xfire has been purchased by another company. Most of the team that has brought you Xfire for the last 6 years is leaving, including me. We've enjoyed our time and I personally am sad that I was only able to do 127 releases. Good bye and game on!

Would be epic if the creators/developers from xfire got sold out, made another chat program sells that, then makes another one and does this until they can all retire and all their grand-children's grandchildren can retire at the age of 21.

Due to inflation, their grand-children's children will be billionaires, which will be mere pocket change by their time.
