Spectre: All of those have the same problem.
Is it the result of some billionaire wanting to cause trouble,a foreign country or problems with literary courses.
I don't know anything about billionaires, but I don't like most of those sites. Is it the result of some billionaire wanting to cause trouble,a foreign country or problems with literary courses.
RPS was my favorite site for a while, but then they made a decision to let their politics influence their reporting. This is certainly a decision I can respect, after all it's their site and they can do as they please, but after a while I stopped coming. One thing that turned me off in particular, was their decision not to cover PAX because of that wolf joke. I'm not a fan of PA specifically. Nor do I think the joke was hilarious. But if a news site, which I use to gain insight into the world of gaming, would refuse to provide me with said insight based on their ideas of right and wrong ... I will go somewhere else for it. If PA's joke was crude, I can make that call myself, and don't need my news pre-filtered for me by even the most well-wishing group.
PCGamer has been extremely superficial lately. They appear to care a lot more about how many ads they can fit on a page rather than about the quality of their content.
Polygon is a shining beacon of everything that's wrong with gaming journalism today. It's so exemplary bad that it deserves attention just so one can learn what not to do.
Not sure about Kotagu and EuroGamer, haven't read them in a long while, so no opinion.
