Has anyone else noticed that Wikis for most games just aren’t as complete anymore?

I’m the one helping to fill in stuff these days when I swear most games had pretty fully Wiki pages within a week of release. Have most of these just moved to actual Gaming article websites? They sure as hell haven’t gone to Gamefaqs lol.

I’ve recently played Diablo 4, Remnant 2, 30XX, Armored Core 6, and just started Have a Nice Death… and I’ve had to help with additions on nearly every free Wiki… Never used to have to do this…

    Was it a few years ago Fandom started buying up all these wiki websites?

    Then they started with the ads and it all went to shit.

    There were a bunch of games that had to move their shit off Fandom because it was a mess…

    Now when you want an answer to a simple question, you have to fast track through a some rando’s 5min youtube video to get the answer, where they could have put the answer in the title.

    Satisfactory and Path of Exile are two games in recent memory that specifically moved their official wiki’s away from Fandom,
