Has Neowin Ever Been The Subject of A Takeover?


Recommended Posts

It would seem in the crazy world that is online acquisitions these days that neowin had not ever been approached for a take-over or buyout whatever you want to call it.

As far as i can tell, theres one of the most loyal user bases on the internet, great community spirit around the entire place.

Theres a gigantic amount of topics covered, from tech support to game reviews to general news.

The community that Neowin has helped stich together is bound to be worth a few 0's in the eyes of advertisers etc.

Neowin is a LLC (Limited Liability Company) I believe, they have at least one major US Investor also. That being said The majority is held by the Admins so there shouldn't be a takeover issue, unless they decided to sell the site.

There was thread a week or 2 ago. I think it was about Neowin being 40% owned by another company (StyleXP i think they said) and they wanted less pointless bashing of their products on the board.

I can't find the link or the post, but I bet someone can.

Doubt it. Unless the site isn't earning enough from the ads and subscribers/donations to keep the servers up.

Technically it isn't. Stardock owning 40% of Neowin has taken a ton of pressure off the site's reliance on ads/subscribers/donations.
