GamesRadar frequently publishes informations (especially in their "guides") that are outdated on arrival and then updates date of publication frequently for literally years, resulting in heavily outdated content. What little new original stuff is published there is very often woefully incorrect or yet again outdated, frequently written by people seemingly entirely unfamiliar with the subject. Case in point: GamesRadar's Dauntless weapons tier list (https://www.gamesradar.com/dauntless-weapons-tier-list/) which in the opening line says it's going to contain information on which "guns" are the best in a game containing mostly melee weapons with one ranged exception, as of the moment of me writing this article says it was published 20 days ago (which would be 2022-04-29) has a comment section containing comments from 2 and 3 years ago calling the article out for already being outdated. Article still references stuff that flat out no longer exists in the game and hasn't for many years. That's just one of countless examples of GamesRadar's poor excuses for journalism. While I can understand meritorical errors to some degree (though their content frequently contains what can only be described as glaring mess) repeatedly republishing old, outdated article as new or recently updated content is dishones at best and maliciously misleading at worst. Abusing publication dates to get better search engine positioning is borderline false advertising.

Tip for consumers:
You should probably avoid this website entirely or at the very least double check on the information provided, preferably comparing it to more reputable and reliable outlets.

Between clickbait titles and hack writing GamesRadar is in dire need of restructuring. I am here...

Seriously, why are so many sites doing this these days? It's super annoying and the only thing it...
