Has anyone else noticed that Wikis for most games just aren't as complete anymore?

I'm the one helping to fill in stuff these days when I swear most games had pretty fully Wiki pages within a week of release. Have most of these just moved to actual Gaming article websites? They sure as hell haven't gone to Gamefaqs lol.

I've recently played Diablo 4, Remnant 2, 30XX, Armored Core 6, and just started Have a Nice Death... and I've had to help with additions on nearly every free Wiki... Never used to have to do this...

Fandom ruined actual good wikis. God that site is so shit, why do people keep using it?

Because monopoly.

Shit, Mojang used to maintain their own wiki for Minecraft, but it was dropped and migrated to Fandom and now none of us can have nice things.

I was about to reply and say "nuh uh, the Minecraft wiki isn't a Fandom one", but jesus you're right.

It used to be independent until Curse started Gamepedia and then got bought by Wikia.
