Kinda funny otaku is part of their name. Seems the only requirement to write for them is to actually hate the stuff they claim to be a fan of.
The current Kotaku is extremely disconnected from it's original self. A decade ago, it didn't have the reputation of being such a undesirable den as it does now, and was actually not the worst place to find your video game news (as long as you didn't mind waiting for it). None of the original writers are still working there.
It's been in "trend" for the last few years. It used to be everything on one screen, neatly organized under tabs, fully explained. Now you have this endless scrolling abomination, with full-page advertisements in size 58 text explaining things vaguely. And articles are worse. Big text, optimized for mobile, adverts IN BETWEEN PARAGRAPHS of the article (unless you ad-block). How can anyone enjoy even the layout of Kotaku? How??
Well someone's in denial about the idea that in the Eva universe WWII was obviously won by the Nazis and Hitler Mr. Pitt. Eh, the type of people who self acclaim themselves as "otaku" in the first place are usually idiots and uninformed on what they're talking about (like Kotaku). Getting back to journalism though, anyone want to talk about how Carl outed himself of NG? On the Matter of Staff and Public Conduct - Niche Gamer
Apparently Carl Batchelor (occasional writer for Niche) threatened some people after getting mad and now has outed himself from Niche Gamer (supposedly when NG was trying to tell him to calm down). We're not exactly sure what triggered him to this point though as of now. As a person who has been following Carl on Twitter for quite some time, this isn't exactly unnatural from him but it does come of as sort of unprofessional. And besides, NG is saying that he was the one who left and the tweet below seems to suggest that too.
I don't really know what happened, but from the looks of things, it seems he fell for bait hard. Well, he left nichegamer of his own accord, so there doesn't seem to be any hard feelings on NG's part.
Pretty much. Gotta say that I'm really interested in what SJWSnoke said to him to get him to this point. On the other hand, I remember him getting triggered by 9_Volt by all people and his bait is the definition of low quality.
Damn it, Heavily. I was screencapping these myself. More (read from bottom to top): Spoiler Meltdown is currently still ongoing. Losing more respect for the guy with every tweet. I can only assume he's drunk, but that's no excuse to go after Brandon and co.
Same. Enjoyed the content he made for Niche. Also: "I don't need any of this fake as internet faggot shit." They why are you still fucking here?
For some reason this reminds me of when people started migrating to 8chan and they started shit talking moot to get permaband on their way out.
