Purch, a "leading content and
commerce company" has
announced it has acquired
AnandTech for an undisclosed
sum of money. Purch is the
company that acquired Tom's Hardware all those years ago.
AnandTech will reportedly
remain "editorially
independent" from the deal.

So first Anand moved on from the company. Then the company was sold out.
Mere coincidence? Or a conspiracy? :?

"The captain goes down with the ship" - Not true. Ship sunk[I mean sold and quality of articles] alone.
