You're totally right.

I was in middle school when I had fond memories of gaming mags, and that's probably when I was the most infatuated by the publications.

And by high school (2000s) it was getting weird and slowly dropping off.

At some point was the whole Kotaku gamergate BS and completely checked out of gaming news because it wasn't just weird, but then it got real racist/sexist.
