Does a centralized hub for gaming help actually exist? Looking for honest feedback on an idea.

I've been playing Crimson Desert on PS5 lately and kept running into the same frustration — when I get stuck or want to know where something is on the map, I end up bouncing between Reddit, YouTube, random blogs, and wikis just to get one answer. It works, but it's messy.

That got me thinking: why doesn't a single, dedicated platform exist that brings all of this together? Something where gamers can:

- Ask questions and get answers fast (ideally with video or map references baked in)

- Share guides, tips, and walkthroughs in one place

- Discuss strategies and help each other out

- Stay up to date on new releases without the info being scattered everywhere

I know things like Fextralife wikis, IGN, GameFAQs, and game-specific subreddits exist — but none of them feel like *the* destination. Fextralife is notoriously unreliable, IGN feels corporate, and subreddits are great but fragmented by game.

Before I explore this idea further, I genuinely want to know:

  1. Does something like this already exist that I'm missing? If so, what is it and how does it work?

  2. Would you actually use something like this, or is the current scattered approach fine by you?

  3. What would it need to have to become your go-to?

  4. Are Reddit & YouTube sufficient?

  5. It feels like ChatGPT and other AI platforms also aren’t trained on the latest games. So, this platforms value prop would be to be up to date with the latest games asap.

Not trying to sell anything — just exploring whether this is a real problem other gamers feel or just me. Honest feedback appreciated, even if that's "this already exists, you're late."
