After watching a a certain video on youtube about something similar last night (It was way better back X, the golden age is gone), I think the best way to frame it is this:
The Escapist has changed. It hasn't died, thought for some it may now be a lot worse, for some the 'golden age' might be gone, making it 'worse'. I think I'm one of those people, though I haven't been around as long as some. For others it's gotten better, for some newcomers it might be amazing. Everything changes as time goes on.
For me personally things seem a bit more confrontational. I just can't help but read things on this site in a disdainful, or angry way ever since the whole gamergate thing happened. For me it's soured, but I come here out of habit since I used to visit the site 10 times a day before. But oh well, that's just me. Things change, and so have I.
