It’s pretty much the top gaming forum on the web. At least in terms of acceptability. Neogaf is maga now, and Reddit is private and would cost a lot more. There’s nothing else out there in terms of popularity and acceptance.
Yeah, they are running a tight ship on Resetera which makes it welcoming to people like Geoff Keighly posting there or studio heads. People go where the “famous” people are and the big dawgs in gaming post there along with all the insider stuff.
People (including myself) will bare the burden of the extreme left/cancel culture stuff that goes on there because in general theres just a lot of traffic which leads to bigger gaming discussion.
And as annoying as they are about turning everything into a big political issue even when it doesn’t warrant it, at least I don’t gotta deal with white dudes talking slick about black people (unless they can do it under the guise of some other issue like #metoo)
