TheGamer came out of nowhere too. Back when I used faceboook almost a decade ago, I used to follow a gaming meme page. They post typical gaming shitposts of that era. They had massive followers, and big engagements.
Then one day every shitpost they post is branded with TheGamer logo, the page renamed to TheGamer. I don’t remember the original page name but it gave me disingenious vibe from both of them, I suspected the page has been sold & ownership transferred to TheGamer.
Back then I do have silly loyalty to stuff that I like, so I feel betrayed when they sold themselves to a sloppy article site.
Every once in a while they’d post buzzfeed-type of articles from their website. I eventually unfollowed the page.
They’ve been around so long but I don’t associate it with any major investigative article or any writer that made their name writing for them. It’s the most faceless notable gaming website and it’s notability to me seems entirely based around SEO and spamming social media with their blogspam articles
