Hey there,

As of today, Comicvine.com is being merged with GameSpot.com and will live at comicvine.gamespot.com. You’ll be able to see all Comic Vine content going forward at that URL, and a good amount of it will also be posted to the GameSpot Entertainment hub at www.gamespot.com/entertainment. You can find more details here.

Comic Vine and Giant Bomb have been fairly intimately linked for a long time now, sharing user accounts and login data, but going forward, Comic Vine accounts will be more closely linked to GameSpot accounts in terms of login details and passwords. If you log into Comic Vine regularly, you’ll probably want to head to the new URL to ensure that everything’s in order. In the future, if you perform account actions like password resets or email changes to either your Giant Bomb or Comic Vine account, you shouldn’t expect those changes to carry over to the other site. Premium benefits (e.g. ad-free browsing) will also likely stop working on Comic Vine at some point in the near future.

This is being done because GameSpot has been expanding their editorial coverage from strictly being about games to a broader look at movies, television shows, and other forms of media. It makes sense for Comic Vine to join forces with GameSpot, as Tony and his editors have been covering those beats for years now.

I’m mostly posting this because I’m sure many of you would notice this and be concerned that similar plans were in motion for Giant Bomb. That is emphatically not the case, and wouldn’t make much sense at any rate, given that Giant Bomb and GameSpot cover such similar beats. Giant Bomb will remain at good old www.giantbomb.com until we’re just a collection of old fogies ranting about how games were better before everyone uploaded their brains to the Google processor farms for 24/7 cybersensory overload sessions.

If you have any questions, feel free to post them here and I’ll do my best to get back to them, but please be patient: it’s going to be a busy day for support emails.
