Have to agree - if they asked much sooner that would fit the pattern but this cuts out just as the article gets going... Bit annoying

Yeah, and not obvious immediately. Got reading few pages in before hitting that. Seems like very good article but left disgusted

Very annoying. More and more sites work like that. Not visible at the start. It feels like being scammed a bit

I scan to see if there are one of those dickovers, and if there is I check the archive mirror, but in this case it also has the login wall.

Eh, click back and move on with life. I am not signing up to every fringe website for one off articles. And from the site's perspective losing me as a reader is no loss to them either, because I'm never coming back, run ad blockers, etc.

You got to have a paid subscription to read the article. The main output of remap radio is a (number of) podcast(s). The written game criticism articles is an extra.

They claim "By signing up—again, it costs nothing!—you can read the rest". If that's false, that not only a really shitty move but should be a crime - they're obtaining something of value (your e-mail address, no doubt to spam it with subscription ads) under false pretenses.

I just went and tried. Free signups unlock the article just fine. Gonna pat myself on the back for doing the incredibly minor legwork now :3

I quite liked it actually. I didn't want any more than I got, which I got for free. I would have found a paywall unsatisfactory since then I'd get nothing.
