Report: Payment for some TheGamer staff now tied to per-article sessions
Valnet, the parent company of TheGamer, has reportedly shifted its payment structure for some staff from flat rates to a per-article session model. This new system means writers may not be paid if their articles do not reach a minimum viewership threshold, leading to concerns of "soft layoffs" and drastic pay cuts.
