Comment on Ars Technica’s Top 20 video games of 2025

You know I was just thinking the other day about how badly Ars Technica needs to put out an article of their top video games because if anyone is an expert or can provide valuable ideas to the gaming industry it has to be the absolute garbage nearly tabloid and usually written by AI that never qualifies as real journalism from Ars Technica. I’m not sure if their goal has been to be the complete asses of tech news but they hands down take the cake and then providing this great list only solidifies them into the echos of history that literally no one will ever remember once they go bankrupt and no one cares to archive any piece of their trash of a site.

Boy, you really seem to hate Ars. I consider them one of the better tech publications, though gaming is generally not their wheelhouse.

They used to be good but have greatly enshittified since being acquired by Condé Nast. I’ve been an Ars reader for almost 15 years, until last year. I don’t even bother going there anymore.

Conde Nast bought them in like 2008. Not to say that it’s not their fault, but they’ve owned Ars longer than you’ve been reading it.

well, TIL. I thought it was more recent than that. Their quality has been steadily decreasing for quite some time, and I always blamed that acquisition.
