Eurogamer have lowered their subscription rate to £2.99 per month

Their first mistake was allowing staff photos. It all went downhill after that.

(Because it became clear that they were primarily white men which is woke sacrilege and so they were targeted by asocial media crusaders).
Well if EG wanted to wave the flag for minorities that's fine by me, I support that. However, their workforce doesn't reflect their values - thus they are hyprocrites. If they didn't want to cover Hogwarts that's their choice but please, EG, don't pretend for one second you are as open and inclusive as you would like to think you are.

"Hey, consider paying for our professional videogame coverage"
"Are you going to cover what's likely going to be one of if not THE biggest game of 2023"
"nope"
"well then I don't really think your content is worth any money, specially with so many free online sources that will cover the games I'm interested in"

I just came in to say that I, Kira, would impregnate, continously, like one of those Jordan Peterson Chinese blowjob machines but for chicks, that Aoife chick from Eurogamer. With no shame.

And Anita Sarkeesian. I feel like I've done this bit before. Oh well. Hi, 1k new users!

Fuck Eurogamer, they gave Mafia 4/10

And then they gave Mafia 2 4/10

And then they bitched about Kingdom Come Deliverance for no good reason

And then they bitched about Hogwarts Legacy for no good reason

Just fuck 'em really

Eurogamer was a regular site for me to read but their idiotic stance on Hogwarts really pissed me off that a bunch of old white dudes would fucking cower to a bunch of purple haired fuckwits instead of ignoring them and doing what they're meant to do and review video games, not take ideological stands especially one so fucking moronic, fuck em

All I ever read there is digital foundry. And I don't even do that any more, I just watch their videos on youtube. Since I pay for ad-free youtube I figure google is already giving them a cut. So I'm paying for it that way I suppose.

I don't read their news or reviews. Anything that's really relevant gets posted here. I'd rather pay for this place.

Stealth blacklisted Hogwarts and that new writer they brought on who done the twitch gender paygap article has ruined the site. It's gone full looney now. Hard pass. Keep the political belief shit out. Already ruined PCGamer and others.

Occasionally visit the Eurogamer site. Didn't know they had a subscription service. :messenger_open_mouth:

Subscription services are everywhere... And I have none. Not even Netflix.

Of course there's a pro-trans person in the comments screaming that everyone who disagrees with EG on HL wants trans people to stop existing.

Of course there is.

Now that's a name I haven't heard in a long time.gif

Seriously completely forgot Eurogamer even exists. I'm also always amazed when I randomly see a Gamespot or Gamesradar article just because I can't imagine how they didn't go under years ago.

Yea I haven't really visited any gaming news sites in years other than a quick glance at kotaku every day. Sure as hell wouldn't subscribe to any. More so them since they wanna play politics.

Why would anyone pay for such low quality gaming journalism.....
Lol Jason Schrier does journalism

Everything else is punditry by and large

It's why the whole "ethics in gaming journalism" was so damn stupid/hilarious to begin with

"To give you more for less, basically."

Yet other free gaming review sites was able to give us Hogwarts Legacy, the biggest and successful game this year so far, for free and Eurogamer failed to do their job covering that.

Let Eurogamer die on the hill they choose to stand on.
 
Wait, people actually pay for video games news and reviews? Aren't all the big sites like IGN, Gamespot, and whatever else out there is free? I'm shocked people actually pay for something that is widely free everywhere.

Did you miss the DF videos on it? It sounds like you did, please don't tell me you're bitching without fact checking again, come on. DF stated what they were going to do, DF revealed it was WARNER who asked them to hold off the review and then DF posted their tech analysis and views at a later date, what exactly did they do wrong?


They only posted it on YT and banned it on there Site. So op is correcf.

Just a DF article, and not all DF videos get written side versions that's mainly done for hardware, it's rare you'll see a write up for a game unless they've been invited to the studio or got some inside review with staff or something.
Thats not true. Pretty DF video gets both a YT post and a small article wirh summary of DF's findings. This was intentional and theres tweets fromt the head of EG backing it up.

But DF still reviewed the game, EG are the ones who control what gets posted on EG, so claiming DF didn't review the game or speak about is factually without a doubt wrong and is slander.

This op was about EG not DF. EG refused to cover it on there site. In the end EG censored any mention of it on there site post release.

Another poster then brought DF into the mix citing that they never covered the game at all, my response is to that, because DF did cover the game and spoke about it multiple times.

No wonder I missed the DF post. I searched their site before doing post earlier using their search box and never got a review or DF article.
 
Eurogamer's taste in games is drastically different to mine. They seem to have a consistent hate boner for story driven accessible games (games with difficulty options). If they like a game, there is a good chance I won't like it (Zelda:BoTW and Bayonetta games come to mind) and if they give a negative/neutral rating to a game (eg. the Horizon games), there is a good chance I will like it. So thanks, but no thanks I guess.
