Nah, Kotaku had a shit reputation for years before gamergate got shat into existence. Their reporting was sloppy and often wrong, most of them sucked at the games they were reviewing, they spammed out vapid clickbait articles about nothing to farm ad rev. The only reason people respect them now is because they were positioned opposite gamergate, as if two things can’t both suck.
This is from a couple months back. Still excited, though.
Splatoon 1 let you play five different minigames on the wii u pad, including a pretty solid rhythm game, while waiting, nothing else has come close for me
What are you talking about? They show the headphone battery being replaced in the same image as the case. It’s a little button cell that hinges out.
Surely they mean entirety as in “the entire monthly player numbers of every game on steam”, not “the quantity of accounts that’ve ever been created”
No, you see, you just get every citizen to pay a little bit into the bridge, and then everyone can use it. Maybe we put some of that money aside and establish a group of people to care for the bridge, upkeep and whatnot. It wouldn’t be fair to just pick them arbitrarily, so we should probably hold some kind of vote. And, well, I guess the money will run out, so maybe we take a little more from everyone every year, just to keep it in good shape
Huh? That sounds like what? Gov–
Oh fuck wait shit i mean DONT TREAD ON ME
Is it confusing? You can go to their page right now and every single game on the list is listed as “Not recommended”.
Does it? The only logo I see is the SBI logo combined with a Metal Gear Solid !
it didn’t say avoid apparently
It originally did, but once someone ran an article on it, people adviced the admin that his current reviews might afoul of steam policies, so they went back and revised all the reviews be neutral statements that SBI was involved, linking a source for each.
However, all the ratings on this curator are negative non-recommends, with SBI involvement as the stated reason. So it’s hard to paint it as just a neutral list.
That said, there’s nothing inherently wrong with that. If you want to avoid a company’s games, that should be allowed.
You’re joking, right? Pre-2012, it was one of the most visited sites on the internet and in the top 20 gaming sites. They weren’t some no-name blog. Then after they hired Totilo, their shitty pop-tabloid reporting became so infamous even Forbes had articles about it, well before gamergate was ever a thing. This all used to be sourced info on the wiki page.
