I have more or less taken it for granted that gaming sites that turned into content mills about streaming shows and Marvel movies were not pulling in the views needed on the video game content. I don't know this from torturing myself with routine visits to these sites, but from the frequency with which they appear in Google results about topics nobody wants their take on. We already have enough websites stanning for whatever Disney release tanked at the box office.

Getting back to the Kotaku YT channel, they dont even put any effort into it. Take a skim of the list of videos. Almost all are under 3 minutes. A ton of them are about 2 minutes long. That's it.

I can't find the gif I want to express my reaction.
It's from Ruthless People. Sam Stone (Danny de Vito) has to look sad for the police, so he practices crying in his mirror but can't help bursting into laughter.
Can anyone help me out by finding / making it for me?

Would they be happy if someone who doesn't agree with their political spectrum got cancelled /fired?

Kotaku should just do the decent thing and shut down.

Frankly, I'm surprised to how little content there is on the site. I think 99% of their time is taken by making accompanying videos to their articles, probably because "lol people don't read".

Yes Sherlock, Why O Why would people who "hate Partisan Politics in gaming" openly Mock those who....(checks notes) "Push the hardest for the Inclusion of Partisan Politics in Gaming"?

As Stephen Merchant said on an ancient episode of XFM: 'Does Jane ever feel short changed?'That's too bad.

I'm consistently glad I left working in game journalism behind as a young man; it pays in copper, you need to say the "right things", and you get sacked based on nothing. I don't know why anyone wants to get involved in that industry anymore.
There are far better ways to get paid for words.

Do you really think someone would do that? Just go on the internet and tell lies?

.....mmmmm, na.
These people are the enemies of decent culture, and they have actively contributed to creating one of the worst cultural shifts in the history of the world with this woke shit.
So na, in this case, let the party commence people!!

Now there is a supremely skilled person in whatever he does. One of the last standing comedians not afraid of woke bullshit and actually able to tell some offensive jokes still. (Since the whole point of humor is to offend in one way or the other) that's why woke humor doesn't exist, it's like a vegan MEATball, or vegan HAMburger

I dunno about others on here but I hate Kotaku because they hate video games and just have no class.

Honestly I suspect they'd have been successful if they'd appeared 18months-2years earlier. Those tracks would have sounded right at home in the 1981/82 UK charts. By '83 though things were going in a brighter more poppy direction as the new wave sound transformed into various different sub-genres.
1983 was a kind of watershed year, and a lot of bands were forced to change their sounds to maintain their appeal, or look overseas for success.
