    Good gaming news sites/souces.

    Rock paper shotgun used to be my favourite gaming blog site but I had to stop visiting it around when went full on feminism victimhood train.
    Eurogamer recently had some 1k+ comments anita sarkeesian thing and today a ..blog.. with title "Why we need more developers like Zoe Quinn" which is sad.
    With the recent zoegate scandal it would be nice to know of and promote quality sites that don't rely on click-baiting and who have some fucking standards.

    What sites do you suggest or do you just rely on youtubers for your gaming news related content?
    Preferably something that focuses on PC.

    This will sound weird, but I think the best gaming sites right now are the biggest ones like IGN and Gamespot. They have some ridiculous reviews that are way overhyping games from time to time, especially if they aren't released yet, but otherwise they are not as bad as people make them out to be.

    Gamespot is my usual go to.

    Reviews can be off but on the whole they give a good account on the games and their news is excellent.

    I generally find community driven avenues in combination with youtubers to give a more honest approach to most subjects concerning PC gaming.

    For technology:
    http://www.anandtech.com/
    http://www.tomshardware.com/
    http://www.guru3d.com/
    http://www.overclock.net/
    (its possible I forgotten a few but a good starting point )

    PCgamer and Ten Ton Hammer for me.

    I used to frequent IGN, but their quaity has fallen dramatically in the past couple years, and they barely report on PC gaming anymore. Plus; any site that calls LoU the greatest game ever made learly is being run by fresh out-of-high school modern age gaming babies.

    Gotta agree about IGN and I hate Gamespot because their reviews are really weird comparing to everyone else, like they try to stand out of everyone and feel special or something just for the sake of it rather than giving an honest review.

    Updating with some sites that don't immediately show click-baits on their front pages.
    IGN
    http://www.giantbomb.com
    http://www.gametrailers.com/
    http://www.gamesradar.com/uk/
    http://www.joystiq.com/
    http://www.gameinformer.com
    Youtubers seem to in general fall in the middleground in issues as far as sensationalism goes so thats nice.

    the blacklist of sites would include likes of:
    Kotaku, polygon, gamespot, n4g, escapistmagazine, pcgamer, eurogamer, rps etc.. These all have extreme click-bait articles that I think are extremely irrelevant to gamers in general.
