IGN, the corporate owner of Eurogamer for the past 2 years, in its wisdom decided to shut down part of the Eurogamer, the video department to be exact. To be fair, they did break it before they shut it down.
IGN, the iconically bad gaming "journalism" corporation, just buried its new victim, this time it is the video department of Eurogamer, responsible for their YouTube channel. To be fair, Eurogamer channel in past years had limited reach (2 million views in a good month), but it had its charm and style, focusing mostly on "let’s plays" of new titles and some seldom reviews.
Unfortunately in May 2024 the parent company of Eurogamer, Gaming Network, was taken over by IGN and since then the corporation rules destroyed everything that was still worth anything in Eurogamer YouTube channel. The "let’s plays" were removed completely, replaced by editorials, opinions and short, soulless reviews. For some unknown reason the reviews were taken from Eurogamer website, but read by people from video department, which made them a bit awkward when the people who read the review had a completely different opinion than the text they were reading.
The takeover was accompanied by layoffs and shut down of some channels (f.e. Dicebreaker), the revamp of the channel put off a lot of fans of their previous style and form, so now, almost 2 years later, IGN decided to end this experiment and layoff even more people. Unfortunately, the bastardization of the gaming media by companies like IGN continues - they have no clue what they are doing, and then they lay off people who do.
