Here is your very scary news for the day. GameSpy and IGN have announced a merger. No this is not April Fools. The sites will not rename but keep their individual branding. You can see the PR on GameSpy as well if you thought this was a mistake or something. The corporate merge should be done around the first half of next year.

"This combination offers tremendous synergies as GameSpy and IGN have very complementary strengths," said Mark Jung, IGN's CEO. "GameSpy is the market leader with the PC game audience, game downloads and online gaming technology. IGN is the market leader with the console game audience and in community services such as message boards. Both companies have very strong subscription acquisition and retention programs."
