Finally, for everyone who still needs their technical writing fix, our formidable opposition of the last 27 years and fellow Future brand, Tom’s Hardware

So the actual reason is the parent company doesn't wasn't to run both.

Yeah this is definitely a brand merger in some ways.

I imagine it might be due to profitability, too. I think the rate of articles has slowed down in the last 5 years, and I think losing Ian Cutress's analysis was also tough for their articles.

It feels like a lot of the hardware journalism these days has moved to YouTube, like Gamers Nexus, Hardware Unboxed, TechTechPotato, Moore's Law Is Dead, etc.

I think Chips and Cheese seems to be the biggest site for detailed hardware analysis these days.

Let's not forget about HotHardware. They're still carrying the torch of detailed hardware analysis as well my beloved NotebookCheck.
