The 'enshittification' of the Steam games platform is inevitable, and there are already warning signs.

I’d think game journalism has been mostly replaced by youtube reviewers / video essays, no?

I do love me a good video game video essay, but I think that a more traditional journalistic format has a lot of strengths when it comes to covering small games. It’s probably true that youtube has replaced a lot of traditional journalism but I think that this is overall bad for the video game echo system.
