Are there any reputable independent gaming sites left?

I’m looking for sites not owned by Fandom, Ziff Davis, Tencent, etc., who still cover news and reviews.

I stuck with Giantbomb for years, even after Red Ventures acquired it, but, like others, drifted away from the site when its core members left/got fired.

I followed Easy Allies for awhile, but after Bowman moved on, it wasn’t the same.

Anyone have any recommendations?

I get a lot of my gaming news from Spawnwave on YouTube. But I dunno. In depth reviews are hard.

I mostly just listen to podcasts these days. I don’t have time to watch someone play a game for an hour+.

I still listen to the Giant Bombcast and now Jeff’s show.

No, they are owned by Relx (fka Reed Elsevier), known for PAX and the scam which is the academic publishing industry.

Huh? There is even a forum function that can act as a news feed.
It is what you make it.
