Skill Up on launching This Week in Videogames as a news site

Amidst a wave of reform in the games media landscape, Ralph Panebianco, best known for the Skill Up YouTube channel, has launched a new website for the industry’s news. The new site, called This Week in Videogames after the popular video series on his channel, is ad-free, reader-supported and built with the vision of delivering “concise, curated news updates from the world of videogames.”

The new This Week in Videogames site launches amidst a mixed state for the games industry. As GamesBeat itself can attest, several websites are either launching or going independent; but other websites such as Polygon and IGN are facing layoffs, parent company complications and uncertain futures.
