Game wikis just aren't as popular anymore? (self.games)

Has anyone else noticed that Wikis for most games just aren't as complete anymore?

I'm the one helping to fill in stuff these days when I swear most games had pretty fully Wiki pages within a week of release. Have most of these just moved to actual Gaming article websites? They sure as hell haven't gone to Gamefaqs lol.

I've recently played Diablo 4, Remnant 2, 30XX, Armored Core 6, and just started Have a Nice Death... and I've had to help with additions on nearly every free Wiki... Never used to have to do this...

The company wouldn’t be the ones in charge of handling the wikis content. It would be up to the community like is being done now in other cases.

I’m mainly saying that it would be helpful if they provided the space vs it being done by independent companies/orgs.
