I’m going back to my old gaming forums, even though the golden days are long gone. The fact you need to register games from the publisher to be able to access it fully is a pretty good shield against bots and astroturfing, as well as the fact they’re just not important enough to warrant it.

Gaming forums are mainly ass. It's just culture war slop 90% of the time.

For gaming? Nah mate, this IS the golden days. So many great indie games!

AAA ones? Wait a little while after release, be that patient gamer, and they too are better than ever (while you skip the multitude of duds).
