@Maxpowers_32: They also report on movies and TV shows that have nothing to do with games either. I guess they make stories about whatever they feel like.
There's no mandate or policy making them cover only certain content, and there's no mandate or policy making them give equal coverage to other tangential subjects either.
Entertainment sites tend to have a target audience. GameSpot's coverage has evolved since the beginnings in various ways. At the end of the day GameSpot is a business that generates profits for its owner. If it makes financial sense to change, they will continue to do so.
If you have an idea for a site that you think would become popular due to covering specific topics, perhaps there is an opportunity for you. If that sounds like too much work, there are content feeds which link to specific content from all over, called aggregators.
There is also the possibility of funding an organized initiative. Additionally there may already be existing sites outside of GameSpot that could cover such things.
Best of luck.
I complained about Gamespot covering TV shows and movies as well when I had a show spoiled when I came on this site. At least that is sort of the "nerd culture". They tend to do stories on tv shows and movies that are superhero, sci fi, etc.
Are you saying that they are now a combination games, tv shows, movies, and promoting money for left wing causes/democratic politicians that have nothing to do with gaming or the kinds of things you'd see at comic con? When I scroll through the main page all I see are games or tv shows/movies. There are no political articles except the abortion ones.
So they straight up promote propaganda? So if Gamespot was Russian based company they'd be doing articles raising money for Putin's causes or if they were China based they'd be raising money for gamers to promote the Chinese Communist Party causes?
If they are getting into the political realm I have a ton of ideas for articles. Maybe they could promote the Kyle Rittenhouse video game and ask for donations to support a fellow gamer attacked by corporate media for defending his neighborhood and defamed by powerful people.

If they are interested in covering abortion perhaps they'd like to talk about the founder of planned parenthood's goals for eugenics? Or maybe they can show images of the babies they are raising money to destroy and talk about how science has advanced since the ROE decision? Another idea is to talk to people whose mother's almost aborted them? Maybe mention the actual constitutional law? Wouldn't they be more interesting than just giving 1 side and asking for money from gamers? I'm curious if they think everyone who plays games has thinks exactly like them or if they higher people with divers view. It seems like maybe they are nothing but an echo chamber.
If they are mainly targeting younger people maybe they can do articles about the people losing their lives to drugs and how Biden's policies have led to the higher prices and damaged the economy making life more difficult for them?
What exactly is the criteria that they use to cover political topics? Especially highly sensitive and complex ones.
Where do you submit ideas for articles? I'd be happy to link to ones on a variety of topics.
