Not sure i understand the reason. It says its because of “hardware and software requirements”, though if i had to guess it might be because of legislation in European countries where companies can’t collect data as they wish without the customer’s consent

Cross-posting here. Duolingo has been riding the enshitification train hard the past couple of years, but this really takes the cake.

If you know anything about Polygon: the layoffs include Chris Plante, Tara Long and the entire video team

This is a bummer, i primarily used Polygon for my gaming news (and other nerdy things). It wasn’t perfect but they had certain writers that i really liked so it’s upsetting. And before that i used to frequent Joystiq and that also got shut down 
I could go to some place like IGN but i always found that site to be kind of joyless and not a great experience to browse. Anyone have any recs for gaming sites you like? Is IGN any better these days?

Rock Paper Shotgun is my usual, but there has been some enshittification there too over the past year or so with subscriber-only posts etc.

I’ve been going to Game Informer since it came back freed from the shackles of Game Stop. Aftermath seems pretty decent but requires an account (and browsing kind of stinks with a free account…it’s probably better if you pay?). When I really want info on a specific game I tend to search the threads at ResetEra.

Eurogamer is alright, although are/were owned by the same group as RPS so there’s also some subscriber-only posts, although not many. They had a sister site USgamer, not sure if it’s still running.
