I'm all for games being as cross-platform as possible, but considering how Apple doesn't offer apps such as iMessage, Facetime, etc. on other platforms, I'm less sympathetic to them for this.

Apple users chose a famously closed ecosystem, so they shouldn't be surprised when some things aren't available to them.

 

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'd like one if still available, please.

I’d be interested in an outlet that:

  • Does not accept free copies/codes for game or early copies of the games. Access journalism is a plague.
  • Brings in guests to the show/podcast/whatever who are proficient and knowledgeable about the games being discussed. I don’t expect the hosts to be experts, but I’m tired of hearing layman’s takes on games that I’m interested in.

Would you be interested in supporting an outlet financially? If it’s a good product, I’d support a Patreon or whatever.

Do you have any preferred platforms? Would you be interested in an outlet that prioritizes the Fediverse over Twitch, Youtube, etc.? I think it would be best to post content cross-platform otherwise you risk having a dead community or, worse, a circlejerk community.

Do you have a preference between written content, video, audio? I think video and written are a minimum nowadays with audio being a nice bonus.****
