Cutlack on Shiny’s demise

Founder of UK:Resistance gives thoughts on what went wrong at failed blog publisher Shiny Media

Speaking exclusively to MCV, popular games journalist Gary Cutlack has expressed his sadness at the demise of UK blog publisher Shiny Media.

”The death of Shiny makes me sad rather than angry,” he said in a blog piece written for MCV.

”Never once did Shiny sell a 'proper' advert on UK:Resistance during they year it owned it. What does it say if Shiny's ninth most popular blog was only making about $15 a month in ad revenue?”

At least Cutlack came out of this relatively unscathed. Smart enough to see the writing on the wall, and got his site back.

I've just checked out the Uk Resistance website. Nothing but breasts and adolescent nudge nudge stuff.

Got 'games industry of 5 years ago' written all over it. Is it really a going concern?

Sadly it was a business model that was as fragile as Michael Owen's legs. Are these the same people that sell 99p ebooks on eBay called "How to make an obscene wodge of cash by sitting on your fat ass watching Jeremy Kyle all day"? Bless 'em.
