People who work at PCGamer are not professional journalists

People who work at PCGamer are definitely not journalists. Journalists are supposed to write objective articles that state facts, and not be heavily biased towards one side. Also, you can't deny that politics is sadly more and more prevalent in games, so they have to write about it, but I can't understand why the hell are they writing about non-gaming related political topics. Even funnier is the fact that they have many articles where the whole point of an article is the opinion of a "journalist" who wrote it. Like who gives a damn about your opinion, journalism is about facts. From that you can see that they are probably attention seeking people who believe their opinion is important, but when you disagree with them, they are quick to lock the comment section on their articles. Hard pass.

Freedom of speech not allowed

So, i used to go to pcgamer for nerdy content and now that site is full of woke people who'll silence you whenever you disagree with their pov. They did this to me a few times already after i confronted them with legitimate questons on the articles rhey post that are actualy their disguised opinions. A few days back they had an article directly attacking JK Rowling because they couldn't help spitting their own woke agenda on readers faces. I can just imagine the backlash they were getting since the article was up for a whole hour. Don't expect factual or neutral opinions on all things gaming on that site. Those days are long gone.

a good site that has turned bad

this site used to be a good site now they are even lying
i went to this site to look for reward keys, they said on the site when there come new guys then they will be added, thats true, but they also said when the keys dosent work anymore they would remove it, thats some BS i checked all the keys only 1 worked and theres over 30 keys so no they dont remove them

if you want to check it out then its the shift keys for tiny tinas wonderland

and this is the only key that works
JJRJB-CS3WZ-WWTW5-33BJT-JZ9RJ

and guys it not a key for a free game, its a shift key so its useless unless you have the game it works in

Disappointing DL2 Review

I just read the most disappointing review of my entire life, Dying Light 2. The person who wrote it has to be the most bias person out there, fanboying over games that “aren’t too hard”. Saying that it flopped, making it seem like the community itself had agreed with their crap opinion. When in reality, had done a lot better than the other junk game they tried to compare it to. And if I can add some constructive criticism about your future writing, remember that you are reviewing a video game, not writing a dissertation on the future of our economy… tone it down. If you want to relate to the readers, then maybe look at your demographics, we aren’t all your college professors grading you.

So this site shadowbans users

So this site shadowbanned users. Most of the authors are woke/neckbeards that are so fragile if you disagree with their feelings. I posted on a FF14 just now, and i checked my disqus account and it says "Your comment was marked as spam" when i never said anything in a mean way. All i said was "wow nice". So as it says. your comment might show it appears, but they shadowbanned it.

Woke neckbeard nonsense

Woke neckbeard nonsense. Full of dudes who think if they belittle themselves and every man around them for fake narratives, that they might finally "get the girl". You won't btw

WARNING: MALICIOUS SITE. SITE SHADOW BANS USERS

WARNING, THIS SITE IS KNOWN TO "SHADOW BAN" USERS. THAT MEANS THAT EVEN THOUGH IT APPEARS TO POST YOUR COMMENT, IT IS ACTUALLY INVISIBLE TO EVERYONE ELSE. SITE IS ORWELLIAN AND AUTHORITARIAN. DO NOT VISIT OR USE THIS SITE.

Reputable news source. However, censors the comments in their article comments sections. "Steven Messner ," (twitter (slash) stevenmessner) has a record of removing/censoring at least one comment critical of an article he wrote.

News stories are reliable, but do not expect their comments sections to reflect what people actually think due to their (including Steven Messner's) record of removing any comments that are critical of them or their articles.

I think this is one of the most Nazi sites ever, the comments section if you post a personal opinion or define any logic behind it, the comment will be marked as SPAM, avoid giving space to these people, they do not deserve it.

Not Good

Gave Assassin's Creed Valhalla a 92% and Borderlands 3 a 61%.

Tells you all you need to know about their reviewers.

Also starting to constantly promote leftist garbage.

Going downhill :(

I've been reading PC Gamer for literally DECADES and it's gone downhill horribly. Not only do they seem way more "woke" than works for me (a left of center guy but not antifa-left), but hot dayum, half their articles are about the same (popular with kiddos) flavor of the month game. Where's the depth guys?

PC Gamer needs to up their game.

I really do not like giving a copy a bad review. But I just join this site. I answer a question and put 2 links to where they could go and find the information. Then I did a write-up. Just as I was ready to post. This came up( You have been banned for the following reason: Spam.
Please contact the administrator if this was done in error. I was like what in the world. And they still have no told me why I got banned. I was banned within 2 hours of me trying the site out. Now I did get my links to shorten now maybe that had something to do with it. Because for some reason when my links are shortened they come up with the same thing. But I feel like they owe me a !!

Personal twitter feeds disguised as a magazine.

Sad decline in writing. Anymore, they only seem to publish opinion articles. Please, just give us the facts of a game/piece of hardware and have contributors (I refuse to refer to them as writers) leave their opinions on their personal Twitter feed. They can even link their Twitter account at the bottom of the article, if they really feel like we can't live without their personal opinion.. Thanks!

Absolutely dreadful publication that used to be OK. Now they busy themselves by attempting to defame people that they don't like with slanderous lies (Arch).

With regard to the reviews, what they write makes them sound like noobs. How do you literally work as a game reviewer and be a noob??

The new Kotaku

Liberal trash. I've read PC gamer since the early to mid 90s. Its nothing like it was with virtue signaling articles and liberal biases that have nothing to do with PC gaming. If an article is written that would be disagreeable to the other side, comments are shut off. Great way to silence differing opinions. Stick with youtube.

not only do you no longer get good freebies the editing is appalling. bland repetitive product reviews with an obvious lack of decent technical knowledge. It seems to be full of instagram level editing and writing. What happened to you pc gamer?
