>>340679775
It's part of his "public persona and image", I'm pretty sure that actually came up during the trial.
>>340679953

you know, you wouldnt be sitting here defending a company that so openly broke the law and laughed in the government's face, if they were doing the right thing. the fact you have to sit here and defend such a cancerous cesspool of a website means you really have some screwed up moral compass to believe they are the victim

This case is a fucking sham. These rich assholes honestly believe having piles of money should exempt them from being outted on their bullshit. Those shit suckers will get theirs eventually.

It's for identifying samefags. Pretty fucking useful, but you wouldn't know, newsamefag.

It's still anonymous, you just have to carry around your baggage for a single thread. Act like a dipshit? The people in that thread will know. Jump to a different thread, no one will know it's you because the ID changes.

Your post is a great example of someone who has been on /v/ for too long.
honestly, please take a walk.
WE WIN
The sad thing is that some shitty conglomerate site is gonna buy out all of the assets to Gawker and probably not change much besides "don't publish sex tapes"
Even with with all the losses and liabilities from the court case, Gawker's sites still rake in views
>>340680616It will be very painful

He isn't rich enough for that, the richest guy related to GG that could possibly acquire Kotaku is Notch and he isn't interested
Still, would love to see what's left of GG actually do a fucking fundraiser to get the funds to buy Kotaku and run it themselves, would be fantastic irony
>>340681196
>Chapter 11 bankruptcy is irreversible.
No, it's a protection from creditors while a restructuring and reorganisation takes place. Trump has gone chapter 11 how many times now? It's chapter 7 that is full liquidation and loss of the company.
>>340681131
Kotaku is like /pol/: it's containment.
And now fuckers like Klepek might get into bigger sites. He has a sob story now.
>>340680813
Other than the fact it failed on /b/ (Because everything fails there), why? It is to stop shitposters fucking up a single thread. The id changes between threads, so no one will know any different in other threads.

The point of anonymous posting is that you have no baggage at all, and your post is judged only on its own basis. Also its easy as shit to get around IDs, especially for most people with a mobile phone.

Who is this gay billionaire?
>Gawker probably being sold to Ziff Davis
Then Kotaku is confirmed dead.
Ziff Davis bought the IGN network and closed 1up immediately to focus on IGN - so why would they keep Kotaku around?
Some of them might get transferred over to IGN, like what happened with 1up, but even that seems unlikely.
>>340682108
Rob Lowe's not gay, but he would be the man for the job.
>>340682335

Kotaku would be less likely to cannibalize page views from ign's main site.
What is bankruptcy?
If I am to name a positive out of this that cannot be disputed, it would be this is a court case that can be cited against unsourced news articles. Now when a publication attempts to write a article that frames someone or something in a bad light, they take a risk by now having sources to back up their claim. No matter what people say to claim this won't change anything and was a pointless endeavour, it at least accomplished that much.
>>340681994
Gawker owns Kotaku and Kotaku is a vidya journalism site, therefore this thread is related to vidya culture.

If you have to resort to an analogy, you are probably in the wrong, as demonstrated by how easy it usually is to point out how hilariously strained the analogy is.
Your analogy traces a connection from:
video games
up to
a company that creates video games but is also incomparably massive and produces a huge array of things and experiences, video games being far from the most well known
down to
one of that company's holdings
down to
that company's product
while the topic in question traces a connection from:
video games
up to
a video game blog
up to
its parent company
The topic's connection to video games is not only much shorter and much more obvious, but also more direct. It involves real consequences for the future of a video game blog, while if anything happened in the world of sports, your analogy's connection provides no route for an effect on video games or video game writers/blogs.

Also being """""related"""" to the board subject doesn't make a thread immune to deletion. Shitty console war threads and other blatant shitposting are binned regularly.
>>340678850
It's being bought by the parent company of IGN, so don't expect the sites to completely evaporate. On the other hand, Ziff-Davis to the best of my knowledge runs a much tighter ship, so there's a good chance that a lot of the "journalists" that write for Gawker sites will either see the business end of the curb in the next couple weeks or figure out very quickly how to act like respectable people.

>>340683434
I loved the comment section of that article. It basically became active military/vets vs. the author and a few butthurt followers.
The highlight was how the author kept trying to say the context of "I'm getting my shit pushed in" was fear of gay sex, and then getting ripped apart over never serving in the military while trying to tell everyone what the military is like and not realizing that a lot of military slang is derived from black humor with the context simply being that you are trying to convey the highest degree possible to get attention to your current situation so you can effectively communicate and coordinate. He then got made fun of relentlessly for suggesting that Soldiers and Marines should undergo some sort sensitivity training so they don't yell these kinds of things in the midst of combat for fear of alienating other.
>>340682737
Not by retards, which make up the majority of shitposters nowadays.
A few here and there who can into proxies/airplane mode/etc. will continue shitting it up, but shitposting will see a dramatic decrease with IDs.Still think IDs are bullshit though.

GG was about ethics in journalism, it just eventually morphed into the shit it's known for today. Maybe you shouldn't post about stuff that happened before you came over here in 2014

Peter Thiel, the man who funded Hulk's lawsuit

He is the guy that financed the lawsuit. People are upset that a billionaire is "silencing" the media

A billionaire homo that Gawker outed because they declared it news. He has spent years and untold millions just to destroy them from the shadows.
>>340684318
You do realise that this is a thread about GG's biggest enemy who just lost all of their money because they weren't ethical enough, don't you? The ironing

Have you ever wrote a essay in school, and you had to cite the sources for your information? That was to avoid legal ramifications. Gawker, and all of their outlets do not do this. If something is newsworthy to them, even if it harms the name of a person or place or company, they will publish it regardless of if they have a legitimate source or not. For the longest time, Kotaku would be doing this. Now a situation has occurred, where Gawker caused harm to the name of someone with actual money. Gawker has always just believed "We can't be sued. The victim needs actual money to hire a lawyer to sue us! So it will never happen!" Hogan stepped up against Gawker, with the funds to finance a lawsuit against them. Gawker believed that it would win easily. Now that Gawker is going bankrupt, they must sell off their assets to pay for the legal damages the judge has told them to pay. Kotaku is one of these assets, so Gawker is going to sell them off to pay for the fees.

Finally that den of evil is shut down.
It took an autistic homosexual billionaire to do it, shows how weak, ineffective and corrupt our justice system is.
It also shows how much of an elite, protected and abusive class the "journalists" have become. Completely beyond any reprehension at this point.
Even the "journalist" that published the Rolling Stone rape hoax did not get fired.
