A little bad news for anyone who may wonder why one of their bookmarked RPG-related sites went bonkers.... and look who broke the news!

It looks as though iEntry finally took down the site and they didn't even issue any kind of warning or message. That really sucks. Now they're just using the RRR brand to further their other crap. See for yourself: http://rpgrevolution.com

Rydin once told me a few years back in a convo I barely remember that he regretted making the decision to sell it off.

Wait WHAT?!
=O
That's horrible! RRR had such a great community! And many members posted their things ONLY on that site. And it was neatly organized. And well known! And...and...and!
What the hell?! T--T
I hate it when one single person can decide to just destory something great just like that!
First the RPG Studio (altough that's now back, on a diffrent domain and the loss of all things from this year) and now RRR.

Well it looks like I missed this.
Didn't even get a chance to rip some of my exclusive posts. Oh well.

In similar news (because it's iEntry related), RPGMakerVX.net is also dead.
You could look up some old threads however.

EXCUSE ME?
iEntry had no business in gaming if this is how they treat the community.

Wait, what?
THAT is why the site is down? For heavens sake.
2014 is not a good year for RPG Maker communities.

Seems like 90% of my bookmarks lead to dead sites nowadays, I've pretty much given up caring, the golden age is gone.
Who needs community driven sites when you can just plug your credit card into steam or something similar? Buy! Buy! Buy! 
It's a different landscape then most of us thrived in once. You don't trade resources, you don't collab with people, the culture went from being called "amateur game design" to "indie game dev". And it's a whole different atmosphere with different mindsets I'm afraid.

Found this via another forum. How many RPG Maker sites have bitten the dust on this year alone?
It's really sad to see a community going out not with bang but with a whimper.

Impersonal is probably the best way to describe it. Everyone is just out to make a quick dollar these days and so few people do it for the fun of it. I don't know if you check steam often but it's currently being flooded with horrible AWFUL rpg maker games, and the worst part is that they all have a price tag attached to them. The days of people making games to share with their friends for fun are pretty much over.
My only complaint with steam is all this early access business.
They're selling betas now, it's a thing. You buy a jigsaw puzzle that passes off as a game and then it just sits in your library collecting dust until one day the dev may or may not decide to finish it if they feel like it. :/
