I stopped trusting them when they flooded the conversation with Nvidia price hike apologia since the Turing line’s (rtx 2000) release. They seem to have gone easy on the evangelization most recently, but they will still absolutely not do the bare minimum of calling out how insane it is for a company to engage straight-up false advertising in their official performance metrics.
I liked their “optimized settings” series, but that series ended (AFAIK)
Was this before or after they were bought? Cause I'll give em a 2nd chance if it was after.
about 6 years before they were bought by ign
They were partially owned by Eurogamer since the beginning. Eurogamer was bought by IGN last year although DF ownership situation was slightly more complex than that. This is the first time DF is truly independent.
Yep. So being bought made no difference in their coverage
