Back in our February Editorial, we claimed that we had some plans that would upset our PC die-hard fans. And today, we can reveal some of them. DSOGaming started as a multi-platform gaming website. During our first days, we had a header for all platforms (Wii, PS3, X360 and PC). Not only that, but our first post hinted towards our multi-platform nature. The point is that we lacked manpower which is why DSOG focused on the PC platform. However, and since our latest expansion, we can announce that DSOG will be covering all platforms, consoles included.
DSOGaming will not be covering consoles, we are a PC website.
Yes, DSOGaming will be now covering consoles. In fact, we’ll be covering both old-gen and current-gen consoles. Moreover, we’ll be covering mobile platforms (such as Android and iOS).
PC is the platform we love. That won’t change. DSOG=PC gaming
As said, this announcement will definitely upset our PC die-hard fans. However, you have to understand our current position. Publishers have approached us and given our financial issues, we had to resort in a number of deals. The first one was with GMG, and we can now announce that we’ll be working closely with both EA and Ubisoft.
Imagine though if something like that actually happened. The horror
Furthermore, PC won’t be the main platform we’ll be covering. We want to treat each platform equally, therefore consoles will be a major part at DSOG from now on. After all, it wouldn’t make sense to cover consoles if we were not doing our best to offer you juicy news (underground, casual and hardcore stuff) about them.
Well, at least we do share some retro news for old consoles
In short, this is a goodbye to DSOG. DSOGaming is changing. DSOGaming is evolving. DSOGaming is entering a new phase and we hope that you will support our efforts.
Jesus, do people really fall for such things? I wouldn’t follow us
We’ve been talking with both Spencer and Matt about this whole thing, and both of them agreed to help us. Matt will stop his Linux column and focus on a new about current-gen consoles, and the best experiences that can be found exclusively on them (for both Xbox One and PS4).
Spencer and Matt would definitely not accept such a thing, lol
Last but not least, here are the results from our latest poll. It appears that there are a lot of you disagreeing with our decision to stop covering DLCs. On the other hand, most of our readers agree with our decision. Still, 34% is way higher than what we initially thought.
It’s been fun writing hidden messages between paragraphs
Enjoy and stay tuned for more!
Make sure to check for hidden messages between paragraphs. Do not spoil the fun for others in our comments section. Happy April fools day everyone!
John is the founder and Editor in Chief at DSOGaming. He is a PC gaming fan and highly supports the modding and indie communities. Before creating DSOGaming, John worked on numerous gaming websites. While he is a die-hard PC gamer, his gaming roots can be found on consoles. John loved – and still does – the 16-bit consoles, and considers SNES to be one of the best consoles. Still, the PC platform won him over consoles. That was mainly due to 3DFX and its iconic dedicated 3D accelerator graphics card, Voodoo 2. John has also written a higher degree thesis on the “The Evolution of PC graphics cards.”

Nooo why
WHY!!!! DSOG was the best PC ONLY SITE :(((( I’m sad about this info
Lol!! they nearly got me!
Haha.. 😀
Happy April Fools, guys.
April’s Fools, you fools…
I love the tagline on the header. Good one, guys.
What is this sh*t
LOLOLO
Sons of b….Good one. 😉
I was talking to a friend while reading some articles and I was telling him about this until I saw the date. xD
I know what this is, the problem i would have with it is not consoles but the console fanboys that will pop out of nowhere and without bans are gonna go nuts and turn the site into a mess and ofcourse the inevitable sony cultist Nelva taking a jab at you for being objective rather sony biased. It will be a nightmare.
But ofcourse it is april fools day and thus the peasantry wont be appearing here.
Personally i wouldnt mind having all the news on one site that stays out of ridiculus gender politics and stays objective.
Oh believe me, we can ban people we just usually avoid it unless they are a constant nuisance. I delete the occasional comment though of the obvious trolls. We try not to censor anybody here.
Almost had me convinced and I was having a sinking feeling. 😛
working closely with UBISOFT and EA …..such a nice APRIL FOOLS day joke you almost had me until the ea ubisoft part.
On a side note even if the going multi-platform bit was real…. On a PC Gaming site multi-platform should mean Windows/Mac/Linux if anything 😛
Have to admit, had me for a moment but then saw the date and loled.
You almost had me…but as soon as I read “working closely with both EA and Ubisoft.” my douchebag-sell-out detector went off the charts…which made me check the date…and then all was good 🙂
Exactly the same point I realized it as well. 🙂
I was even ready to type up a response asking for another pc gaming site and saying Goodbye to this piece of **** site. LOL
I think that will go for everyone. Everything will seem a bit bleak until that exact paragraph 🙂
This f’ing joke almost caught me!
I was just too skeptical…I am very tired right now so it didn’t quite struck me right away…but I was like, “WTF is this! Way too much NOT like DSOG at all…somethings not right!”.
Nice one guys! Almost had me for a sec in the beginning of the article! 😀
Its gotta be april 1st somewhere.
Its April 1st in my country.
nice one, made me smile
You guys jumped the gun a bit with the April Fools joke but I have to admit, that was well played.
It is April 1st in Greece.
Yeah but who updates article 2 am? Jeez john get some sleep.
The man is up at odd hours, which is ultra convenient for me in the states.
Jesus man, I was hovering over the delete button on your link. Don’t do sh*t like this!
Dammit I hate this day 🙁
Almost gave me a heart attack
Well, I guess more work for you guys 🙂
lol ????
TODAY IS APRIL FOOLS
What day is it lol
Just kept getting worse the more I kept reading first consoles then they are working closely with ea and ubisoft and then no more Linux articles such a pain I already read ign. Must be living in a cardboard box to need money that bad I would have even donated money to the site now I have to see irrelevant crap
Edit April fools day is soon maybe this is a joke? Lol got it I’ll keep my post and not funny, this is the site I go to for PC performance tests
ahahahahahahah sellouts, guess all that ubisoft bashing paid off after all
Nice April Fools, gave me a heart attack for 5 seconds before I realized wtf is going on.
Dang, you got me good. This news made me totally sad – like getting news a friend was shot kind of sad. I hate the internet this time of year.
One of the best April’s Fools of all times.
I rate it 9/10 on the crap-pants-ometer. Up there with arkham asylum blue screen on scarecrow.
Oh you POSs, you almost had me!
😀

f’, you almost got me there.
Wait.. at first i was gonna rage so hard -_- but OMG its the 1 of.. FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU
DSOGaming needs a much improved web design ffs.
Welp. Guess I can finally open that spot in my bookmark list for one more porn site. Was nice knowing ya.
So no more honest PC perfomance analysis on EA and Ubisoft games? Now more Ubi or EA bashing when they come up with ridiculous and anti-consumer ideas? ;/
-Thank god it’s the first of April.
:)))))) ok. i was ok with console coverage but not mobile but well it’s the april fool day 😀 cover all you want i’m not going anywhere.
PS: tomorow is april’s fool day here 😀 13th of first month in spring (our new year).
Nice April Fools joke 😀
There are enough gaming websites that promote consoles almost exclusively, we don’t need another. Thanks to EA and Ubisoft pc will no longer be your focus, as in consoles will now be your focus while pc will of course be an afterthought. You’ve lost this reader.
April fool.

TLDR The potato is evil…unless you eat it
You almost got me!
Happy April 1st to you too.
lol
WHAT!!!
That was my reaction when I saw the title. I traveled to my work place yesterday, enduring 2 hours of rain on my motorbike with an hour of it through a slippery dirt road where I fell down twice, nearly twisted my arm, the chains messed up and I arrived very late to work. I stayed there for the night with no internet so I don’t know what’s happening in the outside world. I returned home today, through more rain, and suddenly the whole world had gone mad. My body was still aching and cold, my mind was tired and the first I see on the internet is that DSO is going console and making deals with the devils.
Then, I saw the comment section and all is okay.
Nice work on the hidden messages between the paragraphs, DSO.
Covering Consoles? Working closely with both EA and Ubisoft?
WTF!!!
Noooooooooooooo
APRIL FOOLS… Yes, i am a fool…
Just uninstalled DSOG…
WTF is this? This suxs. Siding with EA and Ubisoft too.
Why you little…
Almost got a stroke you guys. But good one though. 🙂
This one best aprill fools ever. Holy sh*t!
Trolololo 1st April joke isnt?
“Closely with EA & Ubifail” ? I guess DSOG is not lowered so much to “colaborate” with,especially,Ubifail company. 😀
Take it as a joke,but consoles are not for us.
Man, the internet is f’ing useless today. You had me there… phew…
Dammit, atleast tag these articles after April 1st. All the damn sites I visit has one nonsense or the other giving me blows. I won’t survive much more of this.
This is an April’s Fools joke and nothing more. We’ve included hidden messages between each and every paragraph as a bonus to those clever enough to search for such messages, so make sure to highlight the area between them 🙂
