Meanwhile, Amazon is almost the world's first trillion dollar company, while also not paying taxes and practically enslaving their workforce. -_-

Amazon uses legal loopholes to avoid paying taxes yet cities still vie for them to come because they ultimately generate huge tax revenue with jobs. New York City was even willing to give them huge tax breaks because how much tax revenue they would generate. On a side note the country is generating plenty of tax revenue, we just can't keep up with spending because its so inefficient and not relying on the private sector like many other countries.

Unemployment is quite low at the moment. If Amazon feels like slave labor there are other options for low skill workers. Sometimes people also have to consider leaving their city if the jobs options are poor.

But on topic, Gamespot just isn't needed in an industry moving heavily to digital. I don't know what the solution for them is necessarily, but they need to give people a reason to actually go there.
