Why two games media veterans think a "classic old-school style multi-format video games website" will flourish in 2026

Tom Orry and Alex Donaldson, veterans with 40 combined years in games media, have launched Respec — a text-first, British-voiced, multi-format games website modeled on early 2000s editorial culture. The site is funded by advertising and reader subscriptions via Patreon, backed by profits from RPG Site owner Double Black. Their thesis: lean, independent, editorially focused sites were killed by mismanagement and consolidation, not by lack of audience demand. Success metrics prioritize audience trust and engagement over raw traffic, with profitability targeted before full independence from RPG Site's financial support.
