All that seems to remain are “news” websites that are no better than my own and are mostly just opinion platforms. These days, that sort of writing is hard to come by on even regular news websites, let alone those specifically focusing on video games. It may not have always been “definitive” evidence that joined the opinion, but the authors typically followed the fundamental writing standard of supporting one’s views with concrete details. Many of my favorites that have disappeared operated like traditional news sites that would bring you the facts of the story, accompanied by opinions that were backed up with legitimate evidence, or at least some citations that would justify the point of view. They either changed to the point of no longer being recognizable, or they just went out of business. However, the number of sites I used to visit has dwindled significantly over the past two decades. Sites like IGN and Gamespot were the juggernauts of the early days of the internet, with smaller sites like Joystiq, Gamesradar, and GiantBomb catching up as time went on. There used to be a plethora of competition when it came to video-game news websites I would frequent.
