Legacy games media sites like IGN, Gamespot, and Kotaku are slowly dying out due to their dishonesty, laziness, and lack of integrity. Unfortunately, alternative games media in the form of Youtubers, Streamers, etc. are also dropping the ball. #ign #gaming #youtubers

Legacy games media cares far more about pushing identity politics than it does about accurately covering gaming news and providing honest and informative reviews for their customers. Look no further than IGN's purposeful hit piece on Game Science and Black Myth Wukong. They are access journalism at its worst and will always be compromised in their reviews and coverage to keep the corporate giants like EA and Ubisoft happy.
A lot of the more popular content creators in the gaming space aren't much better though. Creators like The Act Man, Dunkey, Luke Stephens, CohhCarnage, and Penguinz0 (Moist Cr1tikal) are either shills, idiots, fence sitters, or just painfully unfunny. We deserve a better replacement than these creators to take the place of the legacy games media that is currently on life support.
