The end of Linux Gaming Central

It's the first time I've ever heard about this website, but it seems like the author's decision was the best decision they could've done, due to how pressured they felt with the conrent creation thing.

I hope they are okay and shutting the site down helps.

Yeah, I can definitely get that being expected to create content regularly wears you out. I wouldn't personally enjoy the life of a content creator, some days I just want to be quiet and have minimal interaction.

Farewell. Health before the rest

As someone who’s been writing for close to ten years now, I would tend to think I would get paid at this point. Or, at least write for a site that would. I can’t begin to describe in words how frustrating and unfair it’s been to see websites that are “younger” than me become so successful that they’re able to write for their site as a full-time job in just one year.

This is a truth I've seen again and again throughout my career (started my career in IT in the 90's). Just because you're awesome at something doesn't guarantee you a fat bank account. The people who most often succeed are the ones that have at least some knowledge of a subject and some understanding of how business work.

It doesn't mean anything that you're the best at what you do if you don't know how to get the customer to sign the agreement.

I guess I didn't really see the pressure that they were under.

I hope they heal! But it's a bummer that such an excellent resource will be taken down.

I wish more creators were willing to hand their creations to someone who wishes to continue it. But oftentimes, I fear that it's far too entwined with a person's identity for that to be common occurrence.

That's too bad. I remember reading it some back in 2022 and 2023. Best wishes to the author.

Man. Sorry it's been so rough. I hope this helps you out.

I thought the website was gone for good, it is available on GitHub https://github.com/the-outcaster/linuxgamingcentral
