Sub for any gaming related content!
Rules:
- 1: No spam or advertising. This basically means no linking to your own content on blogs, YouTube, Twitch, etc.
- 2: No bigotry or gatekeeping. This should be obvious, but neither of those things will be tolerated. This goes for linked content too; if the site has some heavy "anti-woke" energy, you probably shouldn't be posting it here.
- 3: No untagged game spoilers. If the game was recently released or not released at all yet, use the Spoiler tag (the little ⚠️ button) in the body text, and avoid typing spoilers in the title. It should also be avoided to openly talk about major story spoilers, even in old games.

Hold on? Do I get this right?
By guides they mean actual guides for games? Like that stuff that I and literally any other person look up on YouTube and go for the shortest video available? Or, in more complex cases, go straight to the Wiki ignoring any other site that is just there to waste my time? Please tell me I am wrong.
Someone give this woman a medal. Fantastic.
Edit: Forget what I said. They actually mean THAT by guides. It says it in the article, my brain just jumped a paragraph. Derp.
Oh boy! Let’s see how this will turn out for Kotaku!
Ign or strategy wiki are my first go when I'm stuck at a game. I can't skim videos and game wikis usually have more information than what I want at that moment (spoilers and such).
Yeah, I get you. Maybe it's more of a personal preference. As someone who, in most cases, is relatively indifferent to spoilers, I prefer other sources.
I still think Kotaku is fucking up right now, tho.
