Your preferred news sources?

[LastSonOfTheWest]

For Tech news I like Gamers Nexus (https://www.youtube.com/user/GamersNexus), for other news I like One America News, which are surprisingly decent for a 'mainstream news' organization (https://www.youtube.com/user/1americanews/videos https://www.oann.com/ ). By no means perfect but decent for what they are. For gaming news I usually hear things from forums and people I follow online.

SpawnWave does good stuff on games news has a PDS like show every weekday for gaming news

[Crazy4Swift]

They don't post many reviews but the few they do post are incredible detailed so the RPGcodex for high quality reviews and news (also about tactical games), oneangrygamer is quite good, the pcgaming subreddit is also a good place to look,post and discuss news.
On youtube besides The Quartering I like Matt Chat and Nerd Commando.

[Monkeyman04]

On Youtube I follow Tim Pool, The Quartering, and D&C (for comics). Outside of Youtube I tend to go to Giant Bomb (not much news now, but I still like the content they put out), Kotaku, Gamespot and r/games.

I would say youtube haha. After seeing this post and responses I have a lot of different sites to look up. Thank you everyone!

I prefer https://www.nichegamer.com lately. They are a small operation but present themselves well on twitter and I like the content... but as the name implies, they can be a bit niche compared to the bigger operations.

Giant Bomb is still ok, mostly.

I miss the days when Giant Bomb didn't go into political pandering on every episode.

Pew news, FOX, Daily Wire

[Teratus]

Specifically gaming news I get from trusted youtubers like ReviewTechUSA, YongYea, PewdiePie and of course the Quatering as well as others like Jim Sterling etc.

I do not read mainstream critic reviews, jouralist reviews or anything of the sort though, I simply do not trust them to be honest or unbiased and they almost always come across as shilling for a game or company for personal or political reasons.

I occasionally read player reviews on steam but the main bulk of my interest in a game is determined by gameplay footage/gameplay trailers and partly by review opinions of some trusted youtubers after they've got their hands on a game.
I almost never pre-order or pick up games within their first month on the market to avoid the disappointment in wasting money on a game that's been overhyped or misrepresented.

Too many games oversell themselves these days.. sometimes by promoting visuals the finished product does not have, sometimes by sneaking in really scummy microtransaction/lootbox systems, sometimes by the developers just outright lying about features that won't be in the final game or never existed in the first place and sometimes by the game being so broken at launch it's still not worth the price point 12 months later.

There's just so much mistrust in this industry now that I cannot help but play the skeptic and opt to wait and see what comes out about these games after they launch.
That way I can assign my own value to a game based on what I feel the game is worth paying for.. or just outright dismissing the game entirely and refusing to play and support it.

I visit Reddit, Gamesvillage(Italian gaming news site) and IGN.
I forgot about Nichegamer, thanks for the reminder

I mainly go to YouTube, but I have a few websites I visit from time to time. A mix of content from different sources (even some of the more.. fanboyish sources) helps to get a fuller picture of what's going on.

YouTube: American Krogan, appabend, Downward Thrust, DreamcastGuy, gameranx, GameXplain (mainly for Nintendo stuff), Geeks + Gamers, GoNintendo, Griffin Gaming, Hardware Unboxed, HYDEgaming (fighting game footage) Hype Break, It'sAGundam, Jim Sterling (can get a bit much at times), MMOByte, NintendoEverything NihongoGamer, Nintendo Prime (interesting discussions even if I don't always agree), PlayerEssence (can be a bit fanboyish at times), Raging Golden Eagle, ReviewTechUSA, Rhykker, TheQuartering / Unsleeved Media, YellowFlash, and YongYea - plus some others but may not be purely gaming related or are specific to one particular game.

I also used to go to a lot of places that had PlayStation and Xbox related content, but seeing as I only use PC and switch these days to adapt to my lifestyle, I don't really go to those channels anymore.

Websites: Nichegamer, The Gaming Ground, OneAngryGamer, OP Rainfall, Nintendo Life (quite biased, but good for collecting the general gist of Nintendo related news). Hopefully Exclusively Games is added to the mix. I may also check out some of the suggestions here too.

- Special Moves - the best guys (in my opinion) from PrettyGood Gaming got laid off and set up a new channel - great channel and very unpolitical: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCFA...AvpK3fw/videos

I had noticed that some of those guys stopped showing up in PGG. I stopped watching PGG (and all my other subs) for a bit due to not having time to watch. Why did they get let go?

[SnowyJess]

Not going to go into detail with most of them but these are some that I follow

Sidalpha, Jim Sterling, The Know, Appabend, Pew News, Nintendo Life, Steam(found out their blog has an RSS feed), and Get Indie Gaming.

[Hyperweasle]

Pew News is fun, and I find surprisingly informative.

For gaming, Gameranx is pretty good with their Friday videos with Jake Baldino, the video are usually purely about gaming and any opinions that he gives on more controversial gaming matter aren't forced and pretty apolitical, and is pretty welcoming to other opinions.

Like a lot of you, I stick to YouTube for my gaming news in particular... A lot of similar sources that others have mentioned, except I'll add YongYea to the list. I find him really informative and balanced, he does use some of the garbage "print" sites like Kotaku and Polygon as supporting sources to inform his commentary, but he's typically good at cutting through the bullshit and providing factual assessment, while also being very pro-consumer.

His hatred for loot boxes and willingness to shit on developers for releasing half-assed products makes him one of my favourites.
