What happened to gaming websites? - General Discussion Forum - Page 2

I was out of the loop of gaming for a good number of years, and bought a PS5 recently to jump back in. What the heck has happened to gaming websites? A decade ago, Gamespot used to have great content and weekly videos from the likes of Kevin VanOrd, Greg Kasavin, Cam & Seb, Johnny Chiodini, Jane Douglas, Danny O'Dwyer. Quality content like Start/Select, Skyrim Mods of the Week and The Lobby has been replaced by Tech deals, Amazon Deals, trending terms, movie buzzwords and seemingly a load of articles written by ChatGPT. IGN hasn't faired any better. Some of these guys have gone the crowd-funded Patreon route, but are there any major sites left producing quality media like the good ol' days?

Everything is either a YouTube video or a podcast. I still read Edge, Play and PC Gamer magazines. Websites I often read are Gamesindustry, Push square, Nintendo life, VGC, Gamesrader, Twitter: Warrior 64, Shinobi,

@Mr-Elusive I still read Play, have been since the OPM days. Back when I had a X360 I used to get most of the mags. I don't see Play lasting too much longer the things are going. 😟

Life is more fun when you help people succeed, instead of wishing them to fail.

Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak and remove all doubt.

It's a good mag @JohnnyShoulder
I mean these days you're touch away from gaming news. You want Reviews about anything metacritic is your best mate.
