I’m looking for sites not owned by Fandom, Ziff Davis, Tencent, etc., who still cover news and reviews.
I stuck with Giantbomb for years, even after Red Ventures acquired it, but, like others, drifted away from the site when its core members left/got fired.
I followed Easy Allies for awhile, but after Bowman moved on, it wasn’t the same.
Anyone have any recommendations?
I know it’s not quite what you’re asking for, but it’s where I get my gaming news from at least. I have subbed to SkillUp on YT for a very long time, and he covers loads of games and does weekly news videos where he covers the latest. The vids are very genuine and authentic, imo.
He, and a few of his friends also started a very chill and good podcast called Friends Per Second going more in depth on different gaming topics.
Highly recommended 🙌
If you are okay with Vox Media Group, I’ve been pretty happy with Polygon. They even have RSS!
I think Mike Mahardy from Polygon is alright, but generally I find their content leans into social commentary more than I want in a gaming outlet. I respect that some people want that, and I’m glad these sites exist for them.
I haven’t really noticed that…? But, maybe that’s just because whatever’s being said “agrees” with me or isn’t in the articles I choose to read from them (?)
I’d like to know too. Just me realize I don’t have a go to reviewer or site anymore, but been mainly relying on just user submitted trailers to know about new games and word of mouth when it comes to if I want to buy it.
Do people like PC Gamer? I was a little surprised when I found out they’re still around. I used to get the print magazine with demo CDs.
PC gamer has done a fair bit of shilling for Epic Games the past few years, so you need to take everything they say with a pinch of salt
Are there any international Discord server for gaming news?

Huh? There is even a forum function that can act as a news feed.
It is what you make it.
