Anyone know if the accusation being lobbed in the comments that most of the longtime writers and editors have left and this is a moneygrab by one guy who took over and named himself editor in chief is legit at all? I like the site but not thaaat much so if that’s true I’m definitely not giving them money…
Yeah I wasn’t really reading any of that section but I could see why they would maybe want to branch out to that kind of content. Definitely noticed a dip in overall quality of the satire the past few months though.
Game Guides are mostly SEO farm, put out as soon as possible after a popular game drops to get as many eyes as possible. All about maximizing a website’s profits, so they underpay the shit out of guide writers because it’s usually aspiring games journalists trying to get a foot in the door. Just another indicator of its intended direction
no clue, I assume so, but feel free to read the article and the comments, they said something about spinning off/selling the hard times but I thought they bought it back

I was wondering that too. Have personally gotten real tired of all the listicles that they’ve been pushing out.
Looks like they were doing game guides too? Extremely weird

Does this also apply to The Hard Times as well?
