About videogamers.fyi
videogamers.fyi is a small, independently-run site that tries to answer one question well: what's actually going on with this game right now?
Most gaming coverage falls into two camps. Major outlets publish day-one reviews and then move on. Wikis and forums hold the deep knowledge but bury it in walls of text. By the time you're trying to decide whether a game is worth your weekend — or whether the launch-week issues have been patched — you're stuck reading six-month-old articles, scrolling through Reddit threads, and squinting at YouTube comment sections.
This site tries to compress that work. For each game it covers, it aggregates real signals from places where players actually live — community discussions, recent patches, critic scores, live player counts — and surfaces them in one place that updates on a schedule. The goal is a page you can scan in 30 seconds to know whether a game is worth your time this week.
What makes this different
- Cited, not invented. Every claim links back to its source. If a Reddit thread is mentioned, the link goes to the thread. If a critic score is mentioned, the link goes to OpenCritic.
- Live data, not snapshots. The stats sidebar on each game page reads from the actual sources at refresh time — current Steam player count, ProtonDB compatibility tier, and a player count trend line. Pages update without anyone touching them.
- Honest about the process. Articles are AI-summarized from the source data and validated against quality rules before they publish. The full pipeline is documented on the methodology page. No mystery, no pretending to be something it isn't.
- No engagement bait. No autoplay video, no infinite scroll, no popup newsletters, no ten-page slideshows. The whole site is static HTML.
Who runs it
One developer, on weekends, on a Cloudflare free tier. The site has no ads and no affiliate links. If something is broken or wrong, it's a bug, not a business model.
