User blog comment:Brandon Rhea/Fandom and Curse Media are joining forces/@comment-24530269-20181213124515/@comment-26213507-20181214004410

You forget that this is all about business. Wikia wants a monopoly, and have gotten a bit closer to doing so. There will always be competitors, but Gamepedia is a clear frontrunner in this regard.

In addition, Amazon is an industrial tank right now. Curse was not their primary product, so selling out to a competitor for big bucks is bound to allow for more expansion in their primary "departments." In terms of business, it makes complete sense...but the users that migrated to Gamepedia from Wikia certainly will not stand for it, so Wikia can count them out, especially if each wiki will be merged with its pair.
