Yeah but websites aren’t newspapers and don’t have the limitation of literal limited physical space.
Last time I looked at a newspaper up close was 2006 when I was like 8, and most of the content was ad space that distracted from the text which was condensed and often centered, or if it was a front page often in multiple columns to save on the limited physical space. Remove the ads and you’d have white space. Just like on the internet.
Now imagine if website were built to use the space in between the center wrapper with on the left a highly configurable filter or navigation list and on the right a gallery of related games, so that the main content could be used only for the important stuff.
Imagine not needing a 4K display just to keep ui design’s padding to a reasonable level

And it sucked, I prefer the modern design.
