Clickout Media is a group that buys up gaming sites and then forces them to host endless unmarked advertorial content for gambling sites and casinos. Now the owner of The Escapist, Adventure Gamers, and Esports Insider is, according to reporting by Insider Gaming, going to “pivot to AI,” and of course that means firing swathes of staff and demolishing the remains of all the sites it’s ruined. “Sad to say that my role at The Escapist is up for redundancy,” wrote that site’s contributing editor Lloyd Coombes on BlueSky. On LinkedIn he added, “that means a lot of things that I’m still not quite…

They say comparison is the thief of joy—but I bet you anything ‘they’ just haven’t seen a really nicely laid out comparison website.Case in point is EloShapes.com, a website for comparing mice and mousepads in terms of pricing, features, and—you guessed it—shapes. It’s not always easy to get the best sense of hand-feel before buying PC peripherals (beyond reading PC Gamer’s own exquisite hardware reviews, of course), so Elo Shapes takes a visual approach to getting that across.It’s a not completely dissimilar approach to SizeAll.com, another comparison website that lets you properly compare the physical size of different gadgets to…
