It gives me great pleasure to announce that the Digital Foundry website has just relaunched – and you can access it right now at digitalfoundry.net. While Eurogamer is, of course, the home for DF’s written words, our bespoke site is all about showcasing our video content while offering a bunch of benefits to backers of our Supporter Program. High quality video downloads, exclusive content, early access opportunities – this is the place to be if you like what Digital Foundry does and want to support our efforts.
So what’s new, exactly? Let’s start with a little history first. In late 2016, the enhanced/pro consoles arrived, signalling the era of 4K games – so I came up with the idea of supplying our 4K videos in the form of high quality downloads, since YouTube didn’t cut the mustard quality-wise (and not much has changed there). It was also an experiment to see what kind of support we could get from the audience – bearing in mind how much work goes into our projects, how many people would like to support our endevours? Last year, we took stock of our efforts and decided to revamp the whole thing, concentrating on building a community, offering more access to the team, providing more exclusive content – and of course, seeking to fund massive DF Retro projects, like testing out a whole generation’s worth of 1080p games on PlayStation 3.
The missing piece of the puzzle? Reflecting everything we were doing on our website. Now, thanks to herculean efforts from the ReedPop tech team, we’ve got the site we always wanted, bringing together our wish to show off all of our videos, to integrate more deeply with the various Patreon tiers we have, while at the same time addressing quality-of-life requests from the audience such as chronological lists of new videos, RSS feeds and an actual search function.
