[LFAQs-redacted-quote] Hate to break it to everyone but this is the REAL reason why because Nintendo reports/blacklist/sues anyone and everyone no matter how popular or liked if they dare mention or reference emulating their games. lol craptaku fucking up tho.

How did this get past the editors? There has to be some understanding that when you're reviewing games at some big brand website, you are receiving a lot of "privileges" that many other reviewers desperately want when you get approved to receive copies of games pre-release and even get chauffeured out to private events hosted by these juggernaut game companies. There's an implicit understanding that you're playing ball for these developers else they'll look elsewhere for favorable reviews since by and large most review consumers don't actually read the review and just want the score to validate their beliefs. --- https://i.imgur.com/WmIB016.jpg https://i.imgur.com/53FGj6K.gif ...

DKBananaSlamma posted... Remember when Kotaku said some Persona song had the r-word in it when it clearly didn't?I remember that was Laura Dale of Jim Sterling fame who did that article. But there was some insane nonsense. I think she wrotie the article and then waited to hear back from Atlus if she had "heard the lyrics correctly", which is just weird fucking journalism in itself. But then while she was waiting, Kotaku (UK?) decided to just go ahead and publish anyway. I think she left the company or was fired shortly after. ... Copied to Clipboard!

It sounds crazy but I've always maintained the theory that Kotaku deliberately turned itself into something borderline satirical just to capitalize on outrage bait due to the GamerGate era. Regardless of opinions, it makes no sense for (at least as of a few years ago) a video game publication going out of their way to hire and boost writers with little to no experience with video games. It'd be like if Deadspin or Barstool Sports started hiring a bunch of writers who don't watch sports and just make "lol sportsball" articles. --- Thanks for reading! ... Copied to Clipboard!

Editors Note: Per a request by Nintendo, we have updated the article to generally reassert that Kotaku does not promote or encourage piracy. Kotaku declined to enact changes that blurred the line between suggestions and aggressive line edits to preserve editorial independence. Update: 10/10/2021: 2:20 p.m. : An earlier version of this story was understood by many readers to be a direct suggestion to illegally download this just-released game. We regret this interpretation and apologize, as the original article did not meet our editorial standards.
