User blog comment:Brandon Rhea/Fandom and Curse Media are joining forces/@comment-35245651-20181218014820/@comment-1038387-20181219115405

The timing would suggest it. Fandom is in the middle of a rebrand and now owns something they have no idea what to do with yet. That's either bad planning or snatching up something that was put up on sale.

And all the things Gamepedia had that people liked that Fandom/Wikia gave up on in order to lure more advertisers? Well, they make it hard to sell ads. Twitch was possibly getting tired of it draining resources.

But as Booker said, nothing concrete. The truth may be out there, but it will probably never be made public. It's just business.
