Whats that I hear about Neopets being sold to Viacom?
Often you hear people complaining about how Neopets was ruined after it was sold to Viacom. They talk about it as if this is something that happened recently. We’ll these people really don’t know what they’re talking about. Neopets was sold to Viacom (the same company that owns Nickelodeon and MTV) on June 21st 2005. Yes, years ago! If you’re interested you can read a Newspaper article from the Boston Globe about the sale. The sale to Viacom went pretty much unnoticed, people just like blaming changes on Viacom, which is pretty unfair really. The people who work for Neopets try their best to continuously improve the site. Viacom definitely doesn’t have some evil scheme to ruin the site. For them it’s just a way to generate more income, so they want a lot of players, they don’t want to chase them away.
