Actually, this has been long coming and I have been considering it and talking to various people since January. Time to sell had come sometime before these news hit.
G&C has become a huge site (over 3000 pages) with enormous upkeep and I prefer managing something that doesn’t take up every waking moment of my time. G&C will be continued with the same integrity and selectiveness I have always given it.
The latest news just gave me that final needed push and while I am sad to see my baby go, I am also relieved and feel like a burden has been lifted.
I will not disappear and I plan to start a free game site (which is what gamesandcasino originally was) and will also expand into other online industries. I have learned much from running G&C and plan to put it to good use. I have embarked on many enterprises in my life, and the one thing they have all in common is that I like to grow things. I will get right back to doing that.
My loyalties are always with my staff, and they will stay with me.
I love this industry, so many extremely bright people, both affiliates and managers. I will stay in touch with all and if CAP goes down, you will be able to find me at http://www.affcommunity.com
The people who bought my site are willing to quickly buy others who are worried about what will happen after the signing of the bill. While G&C still has all the free games traffic, most other sites will have little intrinsic value so they will be bought on speculation with the knowledge that they will have to be next to zero income for some time to come.
So prices will be a lot lower than a few weeks ago, but transfers will be swift so no one will be in non-compliance with the law, and I personally guarantee the payment.
It beats just taking them down by a long shot.
So that’s the state of affairs at G&C.
That said, I will be here and at any conferences that may be scheduled, and likely we will just have get togethers anyway. This is not a goodbye by a long shot, you can’t get rid of me this easily.
