I suspect in part this had to do with them losing some of the early series that brought people to the site and not finding any good replacements. I mean yes, Zero Punctuation is still based there. But stuff like Extra Credits isn't, nor is the Jimquisition or MovieBob or god knows how many other past series. Nowadays, popular web series like that bring in more interest than written articles do. Alas, they didn't quite find a new golden goose after some of their original ones left, so they ended up with Yahtzee as the only real attraction there. Probably also doesn't help that gaming news sites aren't the moneymaker they used to be, with the people that visit them generally not paying for subscriptions or clicking on ads.
