https://www.washingtonpost.com/video-games/2020/04/16/jason-schreier-is-leaving-kotaku-citing-go-media-reason/
Jason Schreier, a journalist known in the video game industry for covering working conditions inside tight-lipped game development studios, announced his resignation from the video game news site Kotaku on Thursday, citing dissatisfaction with the ownership and direction of parent company G/O Media. Schreier, who will soon take a position with another company he declined to detail, is the latest of several Kotaku employees to depart the company while invoking G/O as the predominant reason. --- kin to all that throbs ...

Deadspin (and Gawker in general) was among my favorite websites. The Hogan lawsuit and the subsequent departure of my favorite writers made me less interested to visit. After the debacle with Deadspin in the fall, I basically stopped going there or any of their other sites. I've yet to find a replacement service though.

Schreier, 32, said his breaking point was when Deadspin fired senior editor Barry Petchesky for disagreeing with a management mandate to stick to sports, which angered journalists on staff who had cultivated a reputation for aggressive, off-color reporting and eccentric commentary. They argued it would betray the online readership and community borne out of their past work. Damn, it sucks when employees are expected to do their jobs. --- ... ... Copied to Clipboard!

What killed kotaku for me is when they made their MOTHER FUCKING WEBSITE REDIRECT TO KOTAKU AUSTRALIAN OMG THAT SITE IS GARBAGE I'M NOT EVEN AUSTRALIAN.
For awhile I found ways around it but I guess they figured out how to ensure I couldn't get around the redirect. Idk why they even did that tbh video games are pretty international no need for region websites --- ----- ------- ... Copied to Clipboard!

yeah, I was a big AV Club fan and its so depressing seeing old articles and how great the comments sections used to beThe biggest casualty of the AV Club changing hands was that they deleted all their old AV Undercover videos. They only left the new ones up, and they were over-produced pieces of indie pop shit, not a bunch of people sitting in a small room playing covers. Like damn - even when they moved out of the round room and into a bigger studio, it still felt pretty chill. There's a really good cover of Linger that some Redditor managed to save, I've got that shit downloaded somewhere. And then you've got Tubthumping by They Might Be Giants, or Without You by Superchunk. AV Undercover was getting shit, the POWR BTTM cover of Mr Jones really got under my skin for example, but there were a wealth of awesome covers on that show. And they wiped the fucking lot. --- So you don't get to be a saint, martyrs never last this long Now Playing: Skyrim, Final Fantasy X-2 ... Copied to Clipboard!
