Not to worry everyone! Gawker has been very responsive and has kept us informed in this time of crisis.
If I remember correctly, 4chan once tried to hack Gawker quite a while ago, before the whole Wikileaks thing. On balance I think Gawker is more pro-Assange than anti, just by their general politics.
There's a couple of possible reasons for it:
1) Gamers are more impatient than before.
2) Turn based combat was really just a holdover from D&D.
3) When computer processing power was more limited, turn based combat was easier to do than real time.
4) General lack of interest in JRPGs this generation of consoles.
I'm mostly interested in retro stuff so I rarely care for cutting edge gaming news (unless it involves freeware type games). Mostly it's just Kotaku and that's more for the community than the news.
