What are some game websites that used to be popular but are gradually dying/fading into obscurity?
>>320121225
Shitaku
Gamefaqs
gametrailers and ign
>>320121271
Kotaku has jumped like 400 spots since goober gators tried boycotting it

screwattack is shutting down in january but they were always pretty gay other than the battle videos
>>320121448
>boycott site
>end up driving more users to it
Damn. GG was such a failure on so many levels
>>320121527
>Shutting down
Huh, they used to be more popular a few years ago, what happened there?
>>320121562
>a bunch of autists thinking the real world works like 4chan
They were doomed from the start
>>320121448
That was temporary. They've been declining steadily for a while. Now that they've been blacklisted the're pretty much dead.
>>320121606
rooster teeth bought them and they decided it doesn't make sense to keep them running along side rooster teeth. they're stopping screwattack and absorbing them. idk if they're going to keep doing whatever SA has left only rebranded as RT, or they're just discontinuing everything though.
>>320121371
gamefaqs was my go-to site for guides and in a somewhat decent format too.
I miss the 00's sometimes
>>320121653
>still one of the top 1000 sites in the world
>dying
It's okay to hate kotaku but that doesn't mean you should lie about them
http://www.alexa.com/siteinfo/kotaku.com
>>320121805
But /v/ told me they were going to die months ago
>>320121653
>the're pretty much dead
Imagine trying this hard to convince yourself that your 12 month cringe crusade wasn't a massive waste of time
>>320121805
>that constantly declining graph
Thank you for proving my point.
>>320121562
Once Jon left it all went downhill

Found your problem
Cheat Code Central
They used to be one of the most popular gaming sites from 2000-2005.
But these days they run a seriously outdated interface and are on the verge of death.
I fear in the future it will be nothing but IGN and PC Gamer as the two big video game sites and the rest are hundreds of proto-sites that average only a year before they shut down.
Is the escapist still around?
>>320121743
How does RoosterTeeth stay so consistently on top while everyone else fades away?
>>320121946
>defending shitaku
Still mad that your dying site got blacklisted?
There are a lot of websites that as a veteran enthusiast are completely useless to me. Just full of content that amounts to opinion pieces and soap boxing.(gamespot/kotoku/RPS/etc)
But I'm not their target demographic, they're looking for tech illiterates, of which there are a lot of.
RPS (Rock, paper, shotgun.)
How are they doing these days? Did they replace all the SJWs they hired yet?
>>320121805
There are 8 relevant websites in the world. Who cares about #942
>>320122248
See
>>320121805
It's still in the top 1000 most popular sites. In the entire world.
>>320122352
4chan is #840
Guess you should leave then
>>320122352
That's still doing alright, from a financial perspective (that's assuming they have that shit on lock within their own walls)
>>320122352
What are the 8 relevant websites?
>>320122456
Reddit is #31
You should go back there

Kotaku will be gone once the Hulkster is finished with their Gawker masters.
>>320122668
So in a decade?

>Youtube
>Baidu
>Amazon
>Yahoo
>Wikipedia
>>320122248
The fact that your brain can't wrap itself around the idea that I think Kotaku is shit AND that GG was an embarrassing waste of time sums up exactly why nobody wants to be a part of your special needs party.
As soon as anyone says anything critical of any aspect of GG, you scream FUCK OFF KOTAKU SHILL SJW which makes everyone feel like GG is exclusively full of extremists and/or children.
You'd have gained a lot more much needed middle-ground support if you weren't like this.
Now fuck off back to 8gag.

>I literally don't understand basic business law
Gawker, if it thinks it will loose, can start moving assets out of the company, declare bankruptcy then start a new company with the same people and offices.
It's how a bar can have a bouncer beat a patron who sues them on Friday, fold up the company, start a new one, change the signage, then be back open on Wednesday.

Machinima
>>320122668
I don't think you understand how long civil trials can take. With appeals it can be dragged out for many years. Shit, I think Disney and Apple still have cases they lost in the 80's still tied up in court
>>320122157
I was amazed to see that it still exists couple days ago.
a fun thing to do:
>Look up old cheat websites
>Go to gameboy section
>P
>Pokemon
They all have stupid shit there.
>>320122809
this to be honest, members of my family and friends
>>320122809
I literally have no idea what Gamergate is except that SJW's hate it and that threads get inconsistently spammed with anti-GG sentiment for no reason whenever no one was even mentioning it, which is what literally happened in this thread. No one was even talking about GG until you swooped in to make a big deal about it.
So fuck off shill, no one buys your "I-I hate Kotaku too I just brought up le gatorgoober because uhhhhh FUCK OFF GG AUTIST" bullshit.
I miss fileplanet and planethalflife etc
I don't miss GameSpy
>>320123134
>Disney and Apple
A battle of two megalomaniac business tyrants with the desire to become the "Standard Oil" of their given market.
Would be a sight to see.
>>320123287
>anti-GG sentiment for no reason
Ya, no reason at all.
>So fuck off shill
Oh ya, I'm sure kotaku has a legion of interns spamming they hate kotaku in hopes that a few anons will visit their site whilst using adblockers.
>>320123287
Are you seriously trying to say that me pointing out the fact that saying "the're pretty much dead" is objectively wrong means I'm defending Kotaku?
It's just a fucking fact, it's a neutral statement.
>I-I don't even know what GG is
Yeah sure, cool story.
Even if that's somehow true, you've outed yourself as a retard, and now you're triggered as fuck. Kill yourself.
>>320123041
I thought Machinima was still the big monopoly of gaming videos/movies? What happened?
Did youtubers finally get sick of their shitty terms and service agreement and revolt.
Ytmd
>>320123749
If you’re popular enough, you can go solo. So Machinima is mostly left with nobodies.
>>320123869
On the topic of that why did manslayer go back to posting his videos on their channel? Gamerpoop is easily popular enough to make it on its own.
>>320123319
>All these old games asking to install gamespy
>>320123575
Even if it's got extremely high-bounce clickbait traffic bloating its score (sub 1000 isn't even that great for a tech site), Kotaku has been on the decline for months and it's been blacklisted by main dev companies. It's fucking dead you myopic faggot. Myspace also has a sub-2000 alexa rating, are you saying thay're not dead too because your convinient, worthless metric says so?
You're the one who brought up gamergate when no one was talking about it. Don't try to play the high road when you're literally the one who got so triggered you had to start bitching about "MUH GG BOOGEYMAN ; ((( EVERYONE IS GOOBERGATE WAHHHH" when the issue wasn't even being discussed. So stop projecting and sit down you shill-parroting little kuck.
>>320123575
and you've outed yourself as a tumblr user
kill urself my man
>>320125284
You sure are mad about me making fun of GG considering you "don't even know what it is" :^)
>>320125284
>>320125938
Preach, brothers! Moar memes!
>>320125284
>kotaku is blacklisted
great news, who all is blacklisting them?
Newgrounds. The ultimate answer.
>>320121448
Gawker is going to get assfucked by the Hulkster, though, brother. Hulkamaniaaaaa.
>make a thread to shit on kotaku and gawker
>end up getting told out of your own thread
Classy, fellow internet activist.
>>320121805
4chan is on 483 so what does that tell u?
SJWs on suicide watch
I love how they try so hard to downplay what's going on
RPGCodex
>>320126952
>still makes more money from advertising than Vice, Vox Media, Buzzfeed, PopSugar, Business Insider, Bustle, Medium, Mashable and other competitive media groups
Besides, Gawker isnt a SJW business. I dont know why you think raiding it does anything to your "enemies".
And I dont know why you think making these threads serves your purpose, when it just gets people to hate you more for posting NOT VIDEO GAMES on /v/.
>>320126952
:^)
Wet pussy games. Com I used to visit that every day
>>320126616
Nope. They got the machines and found nothing incriminating on them. Hogan has all but lost in his racist flailing to save his image.
>>320127809
Is that the website for bad flash games?
I remember visiting it a few times years ago, and I dont recall it ever having actually new games, if its the same site.
>>320127516

>>320122247
they suck microsoft's dick hard
>>320126508
Kotaku complained that Bethesda is blacklisting them, Bethesda hasnt confirmed it.
Basically Kotaku employees crying for attention and playing the victim, and the only people who believe them are ironically the gamergaters.
>>320127870
Yeah.
Something like 5 years ago they used to have a new game every other day, then they completely stopped
>>320122840
>>320121409
Sad as fuck, they've been really good since Shane left. Only game website I follow since Joystiq died. Now they're getting tossed around like a ten cent whore.
>>320127990
This
Going to love all the mental hoop jumping we'll see in a few years from EX-SJW's when their online posts and logs come back to haunt them.
>>320127990
>feminism is on the decline
Based on what?
>>320128561
Not him, but the number of women who are feminists has dropped massively in just 2 years, it used to be 28% back then, now 18%
http://www.vox.com/2015/4/8/8372417/feminist-gender-equality-poll
>>320122709
>>320122601
Normies get the fuck out now.
>>320128834
>1000 people polled
>all subscribed to this magazine
>not all were even women
Come on, this is random as fuck. If they repeat it they may get very different results just based on pure luck.
Besides, modern feminists dont read magazines like that.
