Thank you God!

Go on...who are these good journalists? The problem is that I see most sites just regurgitating news instead of writing interesting pieces, which may be totally objective, but that doesn't mean it is good journalism. People like Jim Sterling and TotalBiscuit make some really good content centered around the news that can be fairly thought provoking and interesting. They go into more depth than I almost ever see on normal news sites, and they aren't tied down by the bureaucracy that hampers sites like the Escapist (hence the reason Jim Sterling became independant)

Another one bites the dust. Too bad it wasn't Polygon, though.

alternine wants us to go back to the days of buying games based on box art.

I agree.I never needed them to decide what appeals to me.That's what watching gameplay is for.

A review doe snot tell you if a game is good or not since that i subjective and opinionated and a review does not tell you if you will enjoy a game which is the point of playing games.

I do not follow any particular journalist with devotion. I just need them to report the news objectively, state the facts and give me information. I am perfectly capable of intelligently forming my opinion based on objective inputs, instead of having some "youtuber" make an opinion for me.

I tried to watch Sterling, watched a few episodes until he started whining about adblock and begging for money, same as Boogie and a few more. Booohooohoo, we are starving because of you adblocking us. They certainly don't look like they are starving.

Limp Bizkit got offended because some people dared to criticize him, so he just blocked comments - because if you already have formed opinions on everything, no need for user feedback.

And that PukeyPie is just an irritating moron.

And all of them and more combined managed to create an entire population of gamers who only care about bad news, controversy and shitting on things they don't like and they disagree with. Too bad that an entire generation forgot how to read, so that these guys can thrive in talking bullshit to likeminded drones.

So, I am sad that Joystiq is gone, as they actually bothered to give me some news about games, instead trying to force feed me their agendas. 

I actually really liked Joystiq and thought they were one of the more respectable gaming websites. Sad to see them go. I hope they all find sustainable jobs.

oh great.. Massively from Joystiq was my go to place for MMO news. fkn AOL..
