We’re Splitting Up

Posted by Russ Looney
Valentine’s was great, but it’s time for a change.  And it’s not you–it’s us. We feel like we’re constantly giving you a GameAgent deal here, or product news there, but what if you’re not interested in one or the other?  We haven’t been giving you enough choice, and that’s why we have to split up. Wait, you thought we were talking about splitting up with you guys? No way–we LOVE you guys! We’re talking about splitting up with ourselves. Aspyr Media and GameAgent Starting today, we’re creating TWO news streams–one focused on the GameAgent Store and its news, deals, contests, and promos, as well as our upcoming and updated GameAgent application (check the Mac App Store soon!); and one focused on Aspyr Media, all of its products, and the Mac gaming scene in general. If you want to keep up with all of the latest promotions, contests, and deals from GameAgent.com, then be sure to follow our GameAgent Facebook and Twitter (@gameagentstore) accounts.  The vast majority of you are already following us on these accounts since these have been our sole social media outlets. For everything else Aspyr-related, as well as news, reviews, and other tidbits from the Mac gaming scene, be sure to follow our new Facebook and Twitter (@AspyrMedia) accounts set up specifically for Aspyr Media.  You’ll be able to find out about new releases, keep up with stories here on our blog, and be one of the first to know about any deals on any of our games (whether through GameAgent, Steam, or anywhere else!). Essentially, you’ll be getting all the same info as before (if not more) from both of the feeds, but now it will just be easier to filter! Of course, you’ll still be able to get everything in one place by checking in here on our blog.  Like our upcoming GameAgent application for the Mac App Store, we want the GameAgent blog to be a place to “discover Mac gaming.”  To keep things equally simple for you guys, though, we’ll do our best to clearly label and categorize any and all stories and posts. Does the separation of the commerce and news feeds help you?  Did you like it better the old way?  Let us know what you think in the comments!

    So now I have to have you feature on my facebook page (apparently “liking” you) to me able to comment? Folks, until you get Mac compatibility with PC for Civ 5 multiplayer sorted out, I’m not “liking” you at all.

      @Alex: The good news is there are many other ways to leave us a comment outside of our Facebook page(s). You’ve already found the blog, but you can also leave us a message via Twitter (@AspyrMedia).

      On the other hand, “liking” us on Facebook has benefits outside of the ability to comment on our page. For instance, our Facebook fans will likely be among the first to know about any progress made on the Mac-PC MP compatibility. Either way, the purpose of the split was to give you guys more choices, and we’re happy to hear you’re taking advantage of your options!
