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 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’ve never seen any social commentary content from them. I haven’t watched everything they do, but can’t be that common if I haven’t seen it yet.
