VERDICT

Should I use Aftermath?

Video games, the internet and what comes after - aftermath.site

Depends. Subscribe if you want to back independent games journalism from named veterans like Luke Plunkett. Don't if you're shopping for software, and sample the free feed first since no independent reviews of this outlet surfaced.

Confidence

Low. Based on ~90 public sources; only 1 directly concerns aftermath.site — the rest matched unrelated 'Aftermath' products (movies, an MTG set, a Jamf tool, a DEX).

  • Fans of Luke Plunkett's writing
  • Guess: readers of ex-Kotaku/Waypoint-style coverage

Not for

  • Software buyers — this is a publication, not a tool
  • Teams seeking a CRM, project management, or security product
  • Readers wanting big-outlet daily news scale
  • Vendors or IT buyers who need SLAs and security documentation

Gotchas - check before you buy

low

Media site, so no security page — fine for readers, but expect no vendor-grade security docs

low

Same name as unrelated products (movies, MTG set, Jamf IR tool) — verify you're reading about this one
