This is unsuprising - and was bound to happen given XFIRE's prominence in online gaming circles. The same thing happened with ASE and its buyout by YAHOO. XFIRE came along as an alternative to ASE - it gets huge because its not connected to "the man" - then it gets bought out by VIACOM.

Considering what they invest it, I would never suspect such a move..that's why I was struck with suprise when I read this.
