Massively Overpowered Announce Kickstarter to Reboot

The online gaming news hub, Massively Overpowered has recently started a Kickstarter campaign pledging $50,000 to become an independent business and continue the legacy.

The Joystiq network and other blogs such as Massively were recently put down by the network owners, putting at-rest 20,000+ news articles of the MMORPG genre into archives. However, according to the Kickstarter page they are hoping to reunite the Massively editorial team to create an independent news website for the once strong audience. They said:

"Since 2007, gamers have been relying on Massively.com to deliver independent news and editorials about the massively multiplayer online roleplaying game (MMORPG) genre. But in early 2015, in spite of the site's strong and diverse audience and traffic, our corporate overlords decided to sunset the profitable Joystiq network and other enthusiast blogs, jettison the veteran staff with little notice, and archive our 20,000+ articles.

 

The former Massively crew is not giving up so easily. We provided a unique lens through which to view MMORPGs, with diligent editorial oversight, honest opinions, and truly independent coverage, and we did so sustainably. We'd like to keep on doing what we were doing only better, not just because we love MMO blogging but because we know that our community and the greater MMO fandom is unique and worth serving.

 

Now we're turning to our readers and fans and the genre itself to ask whether or not this is something you love and want as badly as we do. If it is, we will deliver it to you from our new MMO site: Massively Overpowered on massivelyOP.com."
