This is the unfortunate truth of the universe. As such, we have a bit of news.
No, Gamers Pointe is not ending lol Can you imagine?! No! Absolutely not! We're hanging in there! THIS IS NOT CLICKBAIT! We've been around for two long years. We've had our share of ups and downs along the way and, before we knew it, the second birthday of our site had come and gone. While we watched, studied, learned, and planned, we came to the realization that the good ol' days of long form content are long gone for us. The truth is, gamers are more active than ever. There isn't as much time for reading about games when you, gamers, can go out and just play them. We had to be real with ourselves. Despite our love for covering the gaming and tech industries, our readership has waned over time. What we noticed was that our full rundowns just weren't hooking people like they were in the beginning. We're not even going to take a dig at anyone. The truth is, even in the midst of Covid-19, the general public has a LOT going on. The people want fast, concise information. All of that being said, after a couple of months of deliberation, we've concluded that the future of journalism at Gamers Pointe is short form. Instead of aiming for a minimum number of words for our articles, we'll be aiming for a maximum. Another change we're making is mostly dissolving our abstinence from very many social issues in the gaming industry. For fear of being attached to political debates, we shied away from any discussions about gossip, conflict, staffing changes, etc. We will no longer be adhering to that so closely. True enough, we're still going to avoid most political discussions, but we won't be dodging quite as much social debate about gaming in general. This is because we all now live in a world of abuses of law, in which case, people are politicizing social concepts and issues that don't require political interference and are making law at the expense of others to have their way. We're egalitarians here, and we're going to use our influence to stop that. That's our update for now. We sincerely hope you enjoy our more compact format!
