looks like they fucked themselves over and have nobody else to blame. Their parent company was fed up with them not just covering games. Kotaku is the site that once said they don't care about gaming right? that politics is more important?

Context here: https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/boards/400-current-events/78119659

The Union is currently battling management over, among other things, annoying autoplay ads. An article by the union lamenting the ads was posted and then, against the terms of their union contract, removed from sites yesterday.

"gamers" don't understand how media and news work, and are angered both when journalists act as an unrepentant mouth piece for videogame corporations and when they inject their own viewpoint and opinion on the matter. They don't deserve Jason Schreier or anyone else

Oh I bet. It seems like all the entertainment far-left new sites are starting to crumble. So under different management that will reel him in. I'm sure he could do some more good work like the destiny article.

yes

they'd freak out if someone got fired for racism though
the same people mad about this are the same people mad against Vic Mignola getting fired.

You have to admit though. The union tried to flex on the CEO, then the ceo just fires everyone. Agree or disagree, that's a pimp ass move.

You don't get to that position without being a sociopath. Show me a CEO and show me a scumbag. The story surrounding this is just gangster tho.
