Kotaku has firmly established itself as anti-gamer on more than a few occasions. Also, they leaked the existence of FO4 almost 2 years ago.

Let's face it, Kotaku fucking earned this. They shit the bed. Now they can sleep in it.

Read the article, they just went on a passive aggressive fit because they're not getting free review copies. At no point Kotaku implied they want to sever their connections to publishers.

They wrote an article because they realised they could get payed off of it. If they're gunna be blacklisted, they might as well make some money off said blacklisting.

They've evidently decided that leaking shit is more important than good relationships with publishers and that's on them. See how it works out in the long run.

Why is everyone conflating story spoilers with them posting stuff about games having troubled developments and large companies carrying out terrible business plans.

Letting people know that Doom 4 was having a troubled development is good given that Bethesda will inevitably be pushing the fuck out of pre-orders.

Letting people know that Ubisoft was working on two new Asscreed games right after the last one came out in a barely working state also tells people something about how fucking dumb the company is.

I don't know why you're all acting like none of this shit has any value.

funny hos shit eaters are the first to blow that sort of shit uot of proportion.

GG wanted journalists to stand up to publishers. Not even that, really, they wanted journalists to stop lying about games to elevate shitty ones their friends made or to push their disgusting marxist ideology on everything.

Kotaku aren't journalists, and they aren't standing up to shit. Kotaku is a Leftist propaganda group that makes money on the side by selling clickbait. They're getting blackballed because they're a bunch of lying gutter-snakes who bit the hand that fed them one too many times.

The difference being they were their own heroes. Look at Miles Morales, for example. He's an overpowered piece of shit with no personality that no one likes just because they had to have a black Spider-man. Granted most of the time these changes are only done to create controversy, but when they keep going while sales tank you know there's more to it.

He will. Just wait. Gawker is dead. Fuck the trial is being held in Hulk's home state. They worship him there whether he is a racist or not, Gawker is fucked. Hulk could have a Gibsonesque melt down every other day and he would/will win this case every time. Being a bigot isn't illegal. Stealing someone's private videos and putting them on the internet is. Gawker had the fucking gall to argue with a fucking Judge that gave them a chance to take it down. They deserve the Hulkamania.

Yeah, not only is that not what GG was about, but that isn't what Kotaku is doing.

GG, for me at least (I didn't really participate much at all, especially after the initial blowout of it) was about games journalists not promoting their friends games, especially without disclosing personal relationships or favors or how incestuous the "indie game dev" and gaming journalists are. Also it was about sites honestly critiquing things instead of just saying "Well, this game is about Depression, so it's great on that merit alone because it's different!" or "Well, this game is fucking MASS EFFECT 3 and I love Mass Effect, so this game gets a 9 despite all its glaring flaws!"

Those two things happen constantly still and it leads many of us to distrust pretty much any review these days as either "Wellp, that journo fucked that dev or they must be in that circle of friends" OR "Wellp, that's a paid review, of course Fallout 4 got perfect scores despite that it has bugs and isn't optimized well"

Furthermore, as I already said, Kotaku isn't standing up to publishers. What they ARE doing, however, is doing things for the clicks that aren't in either the best interest of the reader OR the developer. It benefits no one that they leak scripts. It ALSO doesn't help with Kotaku writers are just allowed to call people "human garbage" unpoliced on their twitter accounts.

Being a public figure, you can't just put a disclaimer on your twitter account that says "My opinions are my own, not Kotakus" and then say things like "gamers are dead" and talk down to many of your readership while supporting people who are saying horribly inflammatory things and even saying them yourself and get away with it. I mean, I guess you can for a short period of time but we are seeing blowback from that right now.

In any other professional reporting job this kind of shit would not be allowed AND futhermore, most jobs that have any sort of public presence, you'd be fired.

How is this a breach of ethics? Kotaku leaked stuff they weren't supposed to leak. They aren't whistleblowers who revealed the inconvenient truth to the public or anything like that. They reported it for clicks at the expense of the ones working on the game. That's all.

GG's catchphrase was originally "ethics in gaming journalism".

Sure, it was secretly started in the chans, and anyone who followed its beginning knew it was just some petty harassment of SJWs. Ostensibly though, gg was started for "ethics in gaming journalism".

Go ahead and redefine kotaku all you want so that you can simultaneously hate it even as it does the very thing you campaigned for. With all its flaws, its still way better than any of the startup gaming sites GG has been backing.

1: I didn't campaign for shit.

The only difference now is that developers have started treating them like the shit that they are, and they're crying foul over it. Tough fucking cookies, if you act like scum, you get treated like scum.

Kotaku isn't doing the "very thing" that anybody campaigned for, it's just being an incompetent shitty clickbait site.

It still amazes me that gg tries to pretend that indie games ever getting a review must be because of collusion. Especially because real corruption, like the Kane and Lynch review fiasco, is still going on and gg doesn't give a shit about it.

Also I don't know what you're talking about leaked scripts, but Kotaku leaked things like fallout 4 was being developed, the troubled destiny development, konami's abusive treatment of its employees. I'm not sure why you think that benefits no one.

Kotaku writers don't generally call people human garabage. If you're talking about a social justice article, its possible to criticize without insulting someone.

Jesus christ drop it with the gamers are dead article. Anyone who's read them know's they're as inflammatory as The Death of the Author.

I think the Kotaku writers are finally getting the wider picture of just how much they're hated by the producers and consumers of the industry. Sure, there are plenty of people who mindless read Kotaku, but no one cares enough to come to bat for them when they need it, and it's fucking hilarious.

The problem is that GG originally started basically as a way to shit on Quinn and the people around her. Because of that, it was caught in this weird spot of half of them trying to talk ethics and half of them just wanting to expose 'indie' people.

Naturally, 4chan is a TERRIBLE place to organize any sort of protest or movement, so the lines became blurred. It only got worse when new people joined and missed the 'official' meaning of the movement.

Basically, GG lost as soon as they started.

Also, Wolverine has been dead for over a year, and Female Wolverine, AKA Wolvernines female clone made by coping his X chromosome over, aka X-23 is now the new Wolverine, taking the name and all.

A-Force, an All-female cast, also just got a second volume (both came out this year) and takes place in the main universe.
