Ghoulish to see a gaming website taken over and pushing gambling

Really, really sad to see Adventure Gamers go downhill - I guess the site was sold and now it’s filled with gambling and AI ads. They also removed author names from past articles, including @mattaukamp.bsky.social. Damn. Fucking shame.

AI is gonna save gamers so much money. By us not buying games made with generative AI.

The fact this sounds almost exactly like how the Brash games situation went down (removing author names from articles and pushing gambling scam shit), really does hammer home the point Steph Sterling makes about the industry never learning its lesson…

Happened to HLTV. A very popular CSGO website for competitive things. Now owned by a gambing company that pushes ilegal betting sites as part of its ads.

It’s fucking awful. And their contact page is GONE. This was an iconic place for adventure games and now it’s full of slop.

One of the few things that are against my religion that I want other people to not do.

To be fair I hadn't visited adventure gamers in a loooooong time. I didn't realise it still existed tbh

The only way these guys can make money is to sell out reputation built by other people. No value generation at all
