Well this happening (the owner cracking down on the sites for ad revenue) is why Jason stuck with Kotaku. They give him total freedom to pursue what he wants there. Do you think IGN will ever have one of its writers called a Press Sneak Fuck by developers?

What fake news are you referring to anyway?

IGN is like Gamespot. Both are terrible for it. Go to Giantbomb or omsething.

The overwatch thing, the persona DLC for smash, etc.
Don't get me wrong, it sells but I'll call t hem what they are just like I would with any other fake news


Giant Bomb isn't focused on content like that either as far as I know. They're not a place for scoops. People go there for the personalities and opinions.

Jason got Kotaku blacklisted by Ubisoft and Bethesda. So he'd need to work for a place who is willing to lose PR access to entire major publishers.

I still don't know what fake news you're referring to.

I don't know what you're talking about.

Smash Bros has Persona DLC.

Smash Bros has Persona DLC.

Kotaku put an article out saying that one of the Persona 5 songs in Smash had the r-word in the lyrics.

Even though the song and game have been out for over 2 years at that point >_>

They later apologized for the article saying it was bad and they felt bad

Ah looking it up that was Laura Kate Dale at Kotaku UK. No idea if they're also impacted by this.

I use Kotaku AU which seems to filter out a lot of the garbage from the US one. I think it even has a different owner.

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.


How is that pimp ass? The person with clearly prescribed power in the situation used it.

It's funny: last I'd heard, Kotaku was supporting the GamerGaters and creepos. Admittedly, though, my data is old. If they'd come to their senses and turned on the toxics, then I'd be genuinely sad to see them go. But I'd be surprised to hear that they'd turned around that hard.

Political bullshit is fine and needed some times. It's an important role of journalism. When it's manufactured by the journalists, that's when it becomes a problem

Yeah I think they're just discussing going on strike right now but for now the content for today is still on.

But stuff like their Death Stranding review in a couple of days could be impacted.

I wonder if all of their sites will go on strike. I wonder how The Onion will handle it.

The Dragon's Crown fiasco sticks out in my mind, and I'm pretty sure there have been many other times where he's left a strong negative impression on me. I don't have a list, but he's never done anything that's made me think he should be allowed to work as a games journalist
