Same. I had an account there for 17 years, cancelled it last year after they, Eurogamer of all places, banned me for being too critical of them. Or rather I got put on some 'terror' watch list so every comment I tried to post was put on hold for moderation, not to show up until 48 hours later. Can't have a conversation that way. |
Digital Foundry has credibility still, the only real change is that there is more advertising in their videos.
But their tools and approach to analysis has remained the same.
Eurogamer I have never really given any attention to anyway.

Very rare I see someone who thinks Dragon Age 2 is better than Inquisition.
Inquisition had better visuals, landscapes, story and characters... It wasn't limited to basically one city.
Chazore said: Just a reminder: It's basically telling Matty he can't say or do anything, he has to basically 100% do as told by EA, and that's not free speech at all, that's a demand or "we'll blacklist you", which is scummy as hell. |
We need to get away from the stupid idea that free speech allows you to say whatever you desire without repercussion, restriction or opposition.
Free Speech actually has a ton of restrictions; See: Libel, Slander etc'.
EA are actually entitled to place people on a blacklist... As that is their "free" right to do so. Freedom is a two way street.
That doesn't mean I agree with EA's approach, but the moaning is misplaced. Just wait for reviews outside of the mainstream outlets.
