I come here to read about video games. Video game reviews, video game news. I do not come here to read about Game of Thrones, or reviews of Aladdin.

You used to keep the entertainment articles under the entertainment tab, but now you have simply given up segregating the two. Under the "News" header there are now more entertainment articles than video games. Maybe this was a conscious (and bad) decision, but ok. Fine. I'll go to the "Games" tab specifically.

Nope. Entertainment news stories are there too, and in just as high a volume as everywhere else.

Fix your news streams, Gamespot. You seriously need to compartmentalize your content, and it is only getting worse.

Yeah it's getting worse. Maybe it's just teething issues with the new design, I hope they sort it out but I wouldn't hold my breath. I mostly go to N4G for my gaming fix.

Thanks for your feedback on the balance of games and entertainment content. I'm happy to let you know we launched a new part of the site this week that only contains game content. So if you don't want to see TV or Movie content you can just go to http://www.gamespot.com/games

:D

@DarknessR18: Thank you for pointing this out, it should not be displaying entertainment content. I'll let the team know so they can work on fixing it. Thanks.

2. Game Of Thrones: The 7 Biggest Plotlines The Finale Left Hanging (NOT GAMES)

3. Godzilla: King Of The Monsters Is A Kaiju-Loving Blast (NOT GAMES)

4. Disney's Aladdin 2019: 20 Differences Between The Live-Action Remake And The Animated Cartoon Classic (NOT GAMES)

5. Story-Driven Adventure Sea Of Solitude Coming This Summer

6. Toy Story 4: New Video Gives Forky A Very Awkward Introduction (NOT GAMES)

Thank you Thanatos2k, I've let the team know and they're looking into a fix for this page. It should not be displaying entertainment content.

Are they going to fix this, or just whatever. You better change the site name.

Gamespot is too busy preparing for E3 2019 and the fact they're not gonna bother fixing anything, you won't see any changes until after E3.

Sigh. I bet they have a moratorium in place on releases during E3. At least the game stories are mostly drowning out the garbage for now.

E3 is over, you can release your fix now.

>Hunger Games Prequel Movie Is In Development

>Glow Season 3 Trailer Sees Wrestling Come To Vegas

>Battle Angel Video Details How The Villain Was Created For The Film

Are not video game stories. Nothing has changed.

@angerawr: @joshuamobleygs: I'm still seeing more none gaming content in the news articles. Some of the stuff belongs in Entertainment section.

Why isn't there just a filter on the main page where you can select which content you want to see?

The dedicated games page is a poor substitute for the main page. It lacks the reviews section, top upcoming games, etc..

It is kinda sad when you have to go to a seperate section of a games website to see about games.
