I don’t see a path forward from here.

Without knowing anything (beyond what's said in the article) about Giant Bomb, I'd assume it's the same path forward as when the F-word fucked up Gamepedia beyond all recognition. Find alternatives. In the case of Gamepedia other wiki hosting services, like Miraheze and wiki.gg, and more independently-hosted wikis. And some of the wiki.gg admins were Gamepedia admins, as far as I'm aware - it sounds like a similar restart may well end up being the case here too.

It sucks, especially because the F-word is good at search-engine optimisation, but it's not the end.
