In case you haven’t noticed it yet, a new writer has joined our team. I mean, some of you didn’t notice it at all, which is why we decided to write an Editorial about it. Alongside Spencer and Matt, Jak Connor will be contributing to DSOGaming. For the time being, Jak will be focusing on News (and in the future he might start writing some game reviews).
As with Spencer and Matt, Jak is free to write for whatever he wants, whenever he wants. Naturally, he won’t write about GamerGate or political stuff, and he won’t be covering DLCs (unless they are free of course). In other words, DSOGaming’s content will remain the same.
Now we do have to address the elephant in the room, and that is the Last of Us II story that was published two days ago. No, DSOGaming is not turning into a multi-platform website. Jak has been writing for The Games Cabin and made a small mistake in his first days. We’ve all made mistakes and we have his back on this, so don’t be harsh with him. So yeah, DSOGaming will remain a PC-only website.
As we’ve already said, we will be getting an AMD RX Vega GPU. However, this may not happen immediately. According to our sources, there will be limited numbers of RX Vega 64 GPUs on launch, so we don’t know whether we’ll be able to acquire one. Rest assured that we will eventually get an AMD RX Vega 64 GPU.
And this brings us to something we’ve noticed lately. In the past, we’ve been criticised for not covering AMD’s products. And nowadays, we’ve been criticised for… covering AMD’s products. And since some users have brought this up, no; AMD does not pay us to cover its products. It’s hilarious even thinking something like that, especially since all AMD GPUs we use/will be using are purchased by us (and are not being sponsored by AMD). The reason you see more AMD-related news these days is simple. NVIDIA is as silent as it can get. Not only that, but with the incoming release of both AMD’s new CPU and GPUs, we get more stories about them.
Last but not least, we won’t be taking any vacations this year. Yeap, we’ll be here the entire August with more news about all the upcoming PC games. We’ve tried to secure interviews for a number of triple-A games, so we might get some interesting new details about your favourite upcoming games. We’ll keep supporting modders, and we’ll keep sharing remakes of games in modern-day engines (we know you love these stories)!
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.”

There’s so few good PC-only gaming sites that I’m glad DSOG is staying one.
This is the only gaming site I frequent because I don’t have to wade through pages of irrelevant garbage. Page one and–BAM!–there’s stuff relevant to my tastes.
After sampling so many other sites, DSOG is one of the best ones around. No smug, self-important “personalities” trying to get famous through their articles, just PC gaming news.
Keep it up, guys.
“No smug, self-important “personalities” trying to get famous through their articles, just PC gaming news.”
Aha! So that’s the secret; I need to start writing the news! 😀
Damn, why didn’t I figure that one out before…… Obvious is obvious >.>
Now I know exactly how to properly expand my cult ^^
/jk.
Lets go into business together!
Alright; you get all the freezing wastelands, the hellhole deserts, the arid sh*tholes, etc. etc. etc. scattered throughout the globe & I’ll take everything else……
Deal? 😀
Perfect.
Done ^^
im_okay_with_this.jpeg
as long as we get weekends together bb 🙂
You mock it, but looking at the world and how it is going lately, what i wouldnt give for a state of the art fortress of solitude in siberia.
and ofcourse those self important games gotta tell you what to believed and push developers to ruin games in the process.
I am extremely self-important, FYI.
I honestly thought TLoU 2 article was funny more than anything. I’d still go to DSOG if it were a multi-platform site but I think focusing on PC is one of its strong suits. Glad to see the team growing first and foremost. Welcome Jak, just leave Daxter at the door next time 😛
I’d make an exception for any article that successfully ridicules the plebeians, the plebeian Gods (Sony, Microsoft), or some generic piece of sh*t plebeian exclusive game, personally.
Sh*t, the comment section would be hilarious, especially once we start attracting the sycophantic shills ^^
Or, at least make an exception for the major news, like Nintardo announcing its latest piece of sh*t joke console that’s going to launch even more broken than the last one, “because Ninturdo.”
I couldn’t help but to notice that you swear awefully lot lately Zatara… U allrite mate?
Hm. Must be the excessive american TV I’ve been spamming lately. Because who doesn’t love to binge gaming & TV over the summer? 😀
True dat 🙁
The moment it was posted, i read the authors name, i figured out that he is new and missed the memo.
No vacation? That explains a lot. :o)
Aaaaanyways, keep the good work guys, but don’t stress yourselves. 🙂
And you are most welcome Jak (Again, because I do notice! 😛 )
P.S.: It is even more funny when you go back and read the very first post on DSOG:
“Hello everyone and welcome to DSOGaming. As the title suggests, this
is the Dark Side Of Gaming. This gaming site focuses on both consoles
and PCs.”
xD
??????? ??? ???’? ????? ????? ????????? ?????, ??? ??????? ??????? ??? ???? ??????? ????????
the criticism of the AMD coverage is not because you covered AMD’s product
is because you used bad sources (like AMD’s own deceitful benchmark) to cover the said products
want my advise? wait for their products to be available to the public and find some neutral benchmarks, or benchmark it yourself with userbenchmark (the best site for benchmark comperison between products)
that being said i’m glad you’re not touching on political bull$hit that “PC”gamer’s been churning for the past 3 years, at least there is one good PC bastion for non-SJW gamers
“The reason you see more AMD-related news these days is simple. NVIDIA is as silent as it can get.”
probably because there is nothing more they want to push with pascal. if AMD able to match 1080ti from the get go maybe we will see the 1080Ti ultra based on fully enabled GP102 chip. and ultimately nvidia might surprise us by launching gaming volta by the end of this year or sometime in Q1 2018. to be honest i was very surprise for nvidia to replace their GP100 only in one year. so they might surprise us with consumer volta.
Welcome aboard, guys. Don’t mind the Negative Nancys plaguing the comments.
What the hell are you talking about? We are completely right to be upset. His name is not John.
Are we now accepting people to have other names? Where will this insanity end? He must, at the very least, change is name.
I hate.
Thanks for staying true to your roots – no console garbage over here then 😀
And good luck to the new guy, just remembering this in PC SITE ONLY 😉
As others said and I said multiple times – this is the best site their is, I just love DSOG and are here everyday 🙂
Keep up the good work guys and do not stress out yourself. May DSOG live for a long long time!!
Oh and btw, I just sold my PS4 the other day, was just collecting dust, so right now my home is console free yeeeh D
Aside from the fact that you’ll miss out on PS4 Shadow of the Colossus now, kudos 😛
LOL no mate, not my kind of game. It would be more like TLOU2 maybe maybe. But I can live without it. More then plenty of games on the pc annyway 🙂
To each their own 😛
just out of curiosity, for how much did you sell it?
Actually pretty good..about 70% of what I paid for it 2.5 years ago 🙂
enjoy not playing hideo kojimas next master piece Death Stranding, enjoy not playing Detroit:Become Human…. Literally the only 2 games worth owning a console for….
Well, to be fair, there’s no guarantee Detroit will really be, especially considering the U-BE-SOFT element. As for Death Stranding; they’ve never specifically stated that it won’t be coming to PC, so I’d argue for it most likely occurring at some point after the PS4 launch, even if it does take like a year or some such.
Bloodborne? $ony promised a sequel afterall…
Death Stranding will ALSO be on the pc mate!
Sony does have good exclusives no doubt about it. But as I just had the old PS4 it’s just to blurry. I wouldent mind a new shiny PS4 Pro tho 🙂
First of all screw david cage second of all death stranding will be on pc.
PC only content and no political garbage is the reason why this is the best Gaming site.
Comments have plenty of it, so no, I love DSOG to death, but no.
YESHHH
I’m puzzled… What do you mean by “political” garbage?
Politicians, or BS like ‘developer claims it’s their biggest game ever’, ‘homosexual protagonist’, ‘why these devs should ban these users’?
I think Ben Shapiro said it best: “I used to watch ESPN, now i dont because i am sick and tired of getting lectured about femminism.”
I am not on the right, never in my life have i been on the right, but the left has shoved their godamn politics everywhere to such a high extent that i am sick and tired of hearing it. I am sick and tired of shaming devs and focing them to push their crazy nonsense in games. I am so sick of it, especially the fact that they wont shut up, its like Trump’s victory taught them nothing, that if they insist on shoving down their one sided propaganda, i might as well listen to what those HORRIBLE convservatives are talking about, just to get some other views in my mind for a godamn second.
This is how bad it has become and i believe Dsogaming is doing their best by not shoving those things down our throats and keep the site about GAMES as it should be and not for political propaganda. Jeez, the new generation grew up in this establishment and if you look at what they believe, they are the most conservative in decades…i wonder why, it is almost as if a action has a similar reaction from the opposite side.
Instead of that we could focus in just games. I mean for crying out loud NYtimes was whinning that most characters in movies are white, well duhh, those movies take place in the west, go watch a japanesse movie, no whites there.
i’d be happy to see you ban people who accuse others of trolling, i hate trolls who accuse and troll other users by calling them trolls if they have different opinions than them
You confessed to trolling. You. In the aftermath of that, is it really my fault that you keep coming off as a troll?
i did post a few humor comments here and there but i get hate for my opinions like the witcher 3 comment
“Everyone here is autistic.” “You are all autistic.”
Should I go on?
you are lying so hardcore, when have i ever said that, i never said everyone here is autistic, give me proof
also i never admitted to trolling because i wasn’t really trolling, that’s a rumor that you in particular spread
Yeah, okay, sure thing, nutty.
nutty is not a word, i assume you meant naughty and i like the sound of it
Dictionary
nutty
nutty
?n?ti/Submit

not every dictionary is right…
-writes troll comments
-complains about being a called troll
-wants admins to ban people for having different opinions

people call me troll because i have different opinions, i didn’t ask anyone to ban someone because they have different opinions, learn to read
“i’d be happy to see you ban people who accuse others of trolling”
ok now i’m sure you’re just Oblivious
though i’m still not entirely sure if trolling or not…
are you sure you can read?
can you?
what’s wrong with you kids in here, is it hard to read or just touched in the head?
“-wants admins to ban people for having different opinions”
this is your sentence (which is wrong), when did i want admins to ban people with different opinions than mine?i asked admins to ban people who accuse other of trolling just because they have different opinions than them.
let’s put this in an example so people with lower brain capabilities can understand
my opinion on witcher 3 is that it’s garbage, you don’t have the same opinion therefore you are triggered, you accuse me of trolling because i have different opinion than you while i don’t mind you having different opinion than me and frankly i don’t care about your opinions regardless of what they are, now i demand admins ban people like you who accuse people like me of trolling just because i have different opinion than you.
you need to work on your comprehension, conclusions and reading skills for sure
monstrous wall of text has no intrinsic merit, unless lack of paragraphs be considered a virtue…
next time put more time into understanding a comment so that i won’t have to go in such length to explain something so simple
hahahaha dude stop, just stop. If trolling was a game you have 200 hours in it and you have finished it 100% with all the achievements unlocked.
It’s not for covering AMD GPU’s that people are getting annoyed John. It’s because you are seemingly writing articles that are coming across as WAY to pro AMD. It just doesn’t seem neutral when you are basically cheering the GPU along from the sidelines! It is very noticeable and very disappointing. I have rigs at home with both AMD and Nvidia GPU’s. I don’t care what one is better. But your coverage is just plain ridiculous. No other sites I personally go to have the same vibe the recent RX Vega articles have had from you John. Sites like Guru3D would never post articles written in the same vain as yours. That is because they have journalistic integrity. Something you and this site started loses months ago…
Its all cool.
Keep strong dsogaming
“Naturally, he won’t write about GamerGatet”
is that a website requirement? because while this is nowadays the only game site i visit for more than once a day, i noticed a playing it neutral and not calling out the obvious and admitted marxist propaganda not only in games but in gaming programming schools and even in conferences. For consoles this is okay because they are literally peasants for the most part. However its spreading to PC more and more. For example you guys have like 20 amd articles the last month, which i understand with the rumors/announcements of the new gpu`s, but have you guys covered the launch of MxM? Is it because its a moba? Korean? Or is it not pushing a narrative approved by the left? Its f2p, not p2w,literally the best in terms of gameplay and fun not to mention the innovation of pve and other modes in a moba and being PC exclusive yet we see no coverage? Its cool though publish another red dead redemption 2 MIGHT be on pc, publish another last of us article……
It’s because it’s F2P. We don’t have a rule against F2P it’s just a business model that’s hard to keep up with. The only guy doing this full-time is John. I write more comments than I do articles at this juncture.
Ermmm… Just a suggestion:
That hero image of banners mashed together couldn’t be more jarring and inconsistent, really…
Any chance you could pick just one or make a new one? The first and fourth alone would look just fine.
