Maybe you researched wrong? The way I would use Wikipedia is search for “video game”then rabbit holes (not a bad thing, more info the better)>game engine> node programming > game engine >game mechanics > gaming concepts> animation > so on (can’t think of other examples). You need to connect the dots that Wikipedia has provided in their format/layout.
Ha 20 years ago for gamefaqs, old fart but probably close to the same age lol.
Let’s work this backwards to show how we contribute to build this shitty internet… Reddit is full of bots, enough to break the system technically and mentally + the new age of Reddit (summing it all up.
Yeah google sucks, but have you recently been on different search engines? I use Ecosia now and hot damn it’s a breath of fresh air. It’s like google at its peak, just about 5% garbage and it’s easy to tell.
Lastly…… you know the saying….”if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it”? Damn, gamefaqs still exists and it’s clean and seams it hasn’t lost its touch. We just kept going for the next shiny option and settled worse less and for worse. To be fair I just went on their site because I haven’t touched it off and on with 5 year gap since its peak.
That’s just my current observation at the moment high and drinking an IPA. Like myself tonight, i think we over did it…

No, I mean for example if I want to know how the “Trusty Shield” boon works in Hades 2, I can just google it and get the answer right away.
20 years ago, I’d have gone to gamefaqs and found a text guide with the answer.
10 years ago, I’d have googled it and gotten a bunch of useless fucking videos.
5 years ago I’d have added “reddit” to my search and had to click through results to find the answer in the comments eventually.
Today I just search for it and get the answer right away.
Google’s search engine has only gotten shittier every year, except in these very specific cases where AI search results actually help.

There are zero Hades 2 guides on gamefaqs. The site is still up, but it’s empty.
I tried my query on Ecosia. It gave me the same search results as Google, but the AI result hallucinated a bunch of bullshit.
