To be fair, Duke doesn’t seem to be much of a reader.

The whole suddenly not allowed to sell porn games, and all these states and countries in acting id laws is just a precursor to censorship and blocking us from organizing against the super rich. They will ban porn but next violent content. But unless we stand up and fight back they will block all annomimity on the web.

other_cat,

Everything is moving very, very fast too.

EU, please, can we STOP being beholden to all this American shit that can go insane at any moment?

CIA_chatbot,

You think the same Billionaires that fucked us here in the US aren’t doing the same to you? We were just the trial run

Been following the guy on youtube for a while and I love the initiative, but damn, I find it hard to justify 10€ a month for just a single dedicated gaming publication. I expect I will support them every few months or so, but yeah, to me 100€/year seems too hefty.

Also what worries me is that this model has been tried, before the days of ad-supported web, and didn’t fare so well, so why would it work now?

victorz,

People have so much more money now! 🙃

It’s also the only model that’s survived after the ad-supported web. If you’re not IGN, this is the only way games media works.

GreyCat,

Yeah, that’s pretty expensive ngl. It would be nice if they introduced a lower tier 🤔

so why would it work now?

From what he says, it seems that he is counting on the fact that he already has an audience from his youtube channel, and that he won’t have to start from nothing.

In Italy we have FinalRound.it that is ad free, independent and donation based (only in Italian though)

Great idea, immediatly tarnished by using third party tracking tools (Google Analytics).

GreyCat,

Are you sure ? I don’t see any connection to google analytics in ublock origin.

UnfortunateShort,

No analytics scripts show up that’s true, but they explicitly claim the right to use it in their privacy statement.

GreyCat,

Got it, thanks for the info.
Hadn’t read that.

Hoping that the pushback will crush these new regulations, this really sucks for creative freedom and consumer choice.

I enabled javascript on this website just for it to tell me to go away lmao

GreyCat,

What ? Why ? I’m using ublock origin in hard mode and I don’t have any problem.

JTskulk,

I also use UBO and I scrolled down a bit and got a pop up saying the content is for donators only so I closed the tab.

GreyCat,

Oh yeah that is pretty weird. It’s normal that they have premium content but the way they show it to users is odd.

If you care enough to try the site again, the news and features tab doesn’t have that.

That fake “pop-up” is only on the homepage if you scroll down a little…

Love skillup and their cover ups! I watch all their stuff so for me this was easy to justify support for. Also a very clean website goddamn! Excited to see how this goes.
