So... PCInvasion is gone. The gaming website that me and many other writers worked so hard on until GAMURS fired the full-time staff, ghosted the freelancers, and left for dead for months. It just redirects to PrimaGames now. I wrote 1,000+ articles for it btw. It's all gone. - ThreadSky

Good news is that it seems they've ported over our work to Prima, but I have no idea how much of it. Right now it only lets me look at a few. Let's just hope that Prima sticks around.

Anyka, all pages that were still getting traffic, clicks, and had backlinks were moved to Prima. <3

I’m so sorry to hear that. That’s so messed up!

rutledge.bsky.social•48 days ago

WOW. That’s incredibly frustrating - I’m sorry!

echoapsey.bsky.social•48 days ago

Hugely sorry this happened. It's why I backed up literally everything I did at Network N when I got laid off. Half of it I'll never look at it again but it's still a lot of my life on those pages. Once again no reason for these companies to not inform people.

I know GAMURS removed my name from PC Invasion articles years ago, so I’m not surprised. That fucking sucks.

celestialss.bsky.social•48 days ago

That’s terrible, I’m sorry to hear that!

So sorry to hear this. I was the founder of PCI before EG and GAMURS acquired it. It really changed from the original vision and I'm just sad to see it go. I loved developing and writing on the site. Hope everyone who was working there is OK and finds a new home.

celestialss.bsky.social•47 days ago

Me and the other writers who worked on PCI at the time really adored what we did and I still remember my time there fondly, so it’s a real gut-punch to know that GAMURS abandoned it. You made a great site, and it should be illegal what happened to it.

Thanks. I think our original small team of 3 laid some great foundations, and I was really hoping it would blossom into a solid site with some more backing. Thanks for helping to keep it alive. It's sad that neither of the two orgs that took it over had the vision or knowledge to make it work.

I am SO sorry you're being forced to go through this, Anyka. I will never forgive Riad: Shadow Legends for what I went through in early 2023 (and in late 2023) at their hands. And I hate that it sounds like absolutely nothing has changed.

If I can help in any way, please let me know.

celestialss.bsky.social•48 days ago

Thank you, I’m just grateful that our articles are still somewhat accessible on PrimaGames but losing the whole site still feels like a gut punch.

I'm lived. Three years of hard work for that site just gone. Absolutely vanished. But would they send me backup of all my work when I requested it for two years? Nope.

lived...livid. That's how angry I am
