Are there any reputable independent gaming sites left? (lemmynsfw.com)

I'm looking for sites not owned by Fandom, Ziff Davis, Tencent, etc., who still cover news and reviews.

I stuck with Giantbomb for years, even after Red Ventures acquired it, but, like others, drifted away from the site when its core members left/got fired.

I followed Easy Allies for awhile, but after Bowman moved on, it wasn't the same.

Anyone have any recommendations?

Does Rock Paper Shotgun count?

No, they are owned by Relx (fka Reed Elsevier), known for PAX and the scam which is the academic publishing industry.
