they all moved to YouTube/tiktok
Zoomers who want ChatGPT to summarize 3 sentence articles down to less than 1 DO NOT bother with going to individual websites and picking pages to read

The Internet should move to the locked, paid communities.
Imagine if creating a thread would cost you a dollar, and replying to one -- 1c. That would immediately cleanse this board.

Shillup just launched one, I haven't checked it out yet but honestly the idea of reading long form vidya content feels like a relic of the past now. If anything I would rather subscribe to one substack whose author and topics I like vs going to a gaming site with a broad editorial focus

theres plenty of good youtube channels
I dont understand how the economics would work without having a youtube presence
ofc some jew owned investment firms will have their pocked publications to ensure the narrative goes their way

Modern game journalists are people who couldn't make it in their first choice careers and lowered themselves to working in the games industry.

The older game journalists are just tired and depressed. You can see the dead look in their eyes and their overall lack of enthusiasm.

Regardless both groups have one thing in common. They are extremely out of touch with their potential audience so no one cares what they think anymore.

Liberals are not entertaining and people in these companies are more liberal than they've ever been in history.

I've always liked Jeff and I still listen to his podcast but the poor guy doesn't even seem to like the industry anymore. I like his perspective from being around so long but he clearly doesn't have the time or passion to actually cover new releases. That's a young man's game I guess so now that traditional journalism is dead all of the young people are on YouTube. He's real strength is his interview skills, his E3 interviews were always really entertaining. None of the young people have the connections or social skills to do this so it's probably a lost art at this point

fine if he doesn't like it but jeez it's literally every time it even tangentially comes up, just one more segment to skip through now. It also doesn't help that he's captive to the feedback loop from his audience and so the substance of all his bitching and moaning is just making incredibly vague statements in a condescending enough tone to try and tickle the subscribers' brains.
He's got enough parasocially captive patrons to keep him afloat forever, but the show is just kind of sad. It's clear these days he had one of the ultimate "right place, right time" careers and now that the times have changed watching this 50 year old try and keep up with 25 year younger twitch streamers is rough. Nextlander is even more dire. NES ranking is fun though.

Nextlander seems incredibly grim, only Vinny has the slightest shred of charisma and it's not nearly enough to carry the other two wet blankets

Yeah Jeff can be obnoxious but Nextlander content feels like a trip to the DMV. I'm surprised that hasn't imploded yet. Poor Vinny.

I haven't kept up with those guys for a while, (pretty much since NL launched), but there's no way they can be making enough money to rival two adult US salaries they'd find in other corporate roles, right? It's quite sad. Also why poor Vinny, was he kicked out or something?

It's one (1) US Dollar to call 100 (a hundred) people fags or 1 (one) person a fag a hundred (100) times vs jeetshow that is going on right now.
It's nothing to any white man who's passionate about his hobby and three (3) months salary for Rajesh.

Russian chan had one, /fag/ -- faggotry. Really, that's what it was called. Was fairly active too, with numbered generals going into half a grand.
