Damn that sucks. They were one of the few decent games journalism outlets.

Looks like pressure from the gamer-gate and reactionary crowd got to them.

This could only result in a shift to more puff pieces and less criticism as an extremely fucked up industry rife with harassment and assault.

Rules:

1: No spam or advertising. This basically means no linking to your own content on blogs, YouTube, Twitch, etc.
2: No bigotry or gatekeeping. This should be obvious, but neither of those things will be tolerated. This goes for linked content too; if the site has some heavy "anti-woke" energy, you probably shouldn't be posting it here.
3: No untagged game spoilers. If the game was recently released or not released at all yet, use the Spoiler tag (the little ⚠️ button) in the body text, and avoid typing spoilers in the title. It should also be avoided to openly talk about major story spoilers, even in old games.
