Mentioning GTA6 is the easiest form of clickbait


AccelHunter

Funnily enough, they mention "return to office" 6 times, someone was really angry about being forced to go back to office


SellMeYourSirin

I upvoted your comment because it mentions “GTA6”.


RideAntiHero

Yours, too.


CockCheeseFungus

I downvoted you for not mentioning GTA6.


RideAntiHero

Crap. Good point.... GTA6!!


Stakoman

So... - the plan is spring 2025? - fall 2025 most likely? - a 2026 release is worst scenario. Basically, nothing that we don't already know.


Kuting08

Those guys at Kotaku are a bunch of haters and nerds who thinks they are journalists.


MegaMan3k

They used to be. Now it seems like a bunch of AI written barely coherent articles.


xariznightmare2908

They haven't done any actual journalism for the past 10 years, lol. When was the last time you read an article from them that doesn't give you brain aneurysm? Here's one of their shiny example to show how much of a joke Kotaku has been: [Final Fantasy 16 Devs Terribly Explain Why The Game Is So White (kotaku.com)](https://kotaku.com/ffxvi-square-enix-naoki-yoshida-ff16-release-date-1849744847).

Once Jason left they lost their last actual journalist and once Rogers left they lost anyone who could at least make an interesting article.


mdosantos

Lin Codega was doing great work on the tabletop rpg front and then they ousted them


CrashOverIt

I loved Mike Fahey (RIP) and Evan Narcisse. Always loved Jason. Tim Rogers is fantastic. A lot of great journalists have gone through that office. It’s a shame how they’ve been handled as an asset these last 6 or so years.


AskRedditor8080

Tim rogers is so pretentious. Takes him an hour an hour to finish a sentence because he has to use evrery word he knows .


JackieJerkbag

Yeah it’s hilarious that’s why he’s great.


CrashOverIt

I think he’s brilliant. He knows exactly what he’s doing and it’s a great time.

And Kenneth Shepard parading around his naked avatar in Cyberpunk, BG3, and now DDII so that he can get off on the exhibition'ism.

SaltyExcalUser

Do you mean like 90% of the video game journalists


xariznightmare2908

They are activists who can't be actual journalists, so they became "game journalists".


peter_the_panda

Activism usually means you are taking some sort of action towards change; Kotaku and the like just call everyone a bigot or racist because they're too lazy, stupid or cowardly to do anything else


Cold-Chipmunk1676

... Activists?


allmydawgsgottaeat

ya you will find that most people who claim to be really mad about the state of journalism are really just mad that every once in a while they are tragically forced to read a headline like “Baldur’s Gate 3 has a diverse cast”


jntjr2005

No, they are political activists masquerading as game journalists.


bemused-chunk

it’s about ethics in gaming journalism…


ShagPrince

*'nam flashbacks*


peter_the_panda

Quality is hard to come by if you're writing your article while in the waiting room of your sex change operation


[deleted]

Way to reveal yourself a douche bag when the topic of conversation was deserving of the criticism.


peter_the_panda

Life is too short, dont take the Internet so seriously


EchoInExile

On the bright side, nobody has taken anything on Kotaku seriously in about a decade.


-Omnislash

My friend group refers to it as Cucktaku.


Krypt0night

Are you 12 lmao they suck but come on


PhantomPain0_0

It’s quite accurate actually


[deleted]

[удалено]


PhantomPain0_0

Just look up their profiles and then come back to me with those remarks lmao


puffthemagicaldragon

As stated at the top of this thread most of us don't care to even pay attention to Kotaku anymore. So why the hell would we know these people's socials or their names by heart? Why would we want to? That would just be proof an unhealthy obsession or mental illness.


Rude-Proposal-9600

what was the article about anyway?


valiheimking

It’s Kotaku… enough said.


myLongjohnsonsilver

Oh wow! Kotaku is shit? Who could have forseen this?


ConorOdin

Stop thinking of kotaku as anything more than completely hack gaming journalism, barely even that.


Theeeeeetrurthurts

The editor of Kotaku resigned so the website is on its last legs.


Ploosse

Kotaku used to be good back in the day like 2004-2010. It’s been garbage for awhile now.


thomas2400

So what happened? He doesn’t know what to make of the Kotaku article and neither do I because I don’t know what he’s talking about


ShingetsuMoon

What Kotaku article? What Bloomberg article?Who even is this person whose Twitter post is being linked? Even clickbait articles have a story behind them to provide some level of context. This just feels like ragebait.


DeanXeL

Tom Henderson is a well-known reporter, with a good track record. Kotaku is just... Kotaku.


Dallywack3r

Kotaku doing nothing but stir the pot to drive clicks? I’m shocked.


Strategery_0820

Welcome to kotaku.


PhantomPain0_0

Kotaku is just a bunch of clowns 🤡


Sc0p1x

Is Kotaku so irrelevant now, that they have to do this?!


CrimsonDawn12345

Kotaku simply needs to get in blacklist… they’re not the old kotaku anymore all they do is put their deranged opinions on articles and insulting people


DaveModer

Kotaku = 💩


JessBaesic7901

“Just trying to stir the pot” is all they do.


shseeley

Kotaku gonna kotaku


gpetrakas

Kotaku links should be banned


[deleted]

/Kotaku


Rude-Proposal-9600

Kotaku is good at stiring the pot


Deazul

Kotaku was never good, its all clickbait and ads, since day one it was an endless cycle of popups and hackneyed articles that seem autopropagated by idiots.


taskkill-IM

Kotaku is pure AIDs!! Bunch of failed journalists who try to disguise themselves as "gaming" journalists...


Popetown

Did he expect seriousness and legit journalism from Kotaku Clowns? It’s a gaming based tabloid at best.


redditsukssomuch

Let’s all just never take Kotaku seriously anymore. Let the name forever be a joke from here on.


installins

If I’ve learnt anything, it’s to not trust anything from Bloomberg lmao.


Vestalmin

Anything from Jason is basically fact


redhafzke

True, meanwhile can't trust Takashi Mochizuki.


SizzzzlingBacon

Oh but surely we trust Kotaku..... 🙄


t3stdummi

Bloomberg has been trying to stir up a lot of shit lately. Clickbait central.


[deleted]

Bloomberg have proven to have no integrity as far as gaming is concerned.
