Eh, I was enjoying posting in this thread, but it's started to occur to me that I can't win with you folks.
I try to show you the long, well-reported, interesting stories we do every day, but instead some of you just whine because of our shorter news articles or weird stories about Asian culture, both of which are an integral part of what Kotaku is (and one of the reasons we've become so big).
Kotaku is not a site that runs only longform stories every single day. We are not a trade site. We are not a site for straight industry news. If you want one of those, there are plenty. Gamasutra, Polygon, etc.
We are a site where writers have their own voices and their own approaches, and we all do a little bit of everything. Sometimes I write short, snarky news posts about THQ. Other times I write longer, originally-reported stories about mistreated YouTubers. Sometimes I write
critical dissections of Persona 4! If you don't like that mix, Kotaku isn't for you.
I think we do excellent work every single day, and I think I've posted more than enough links to prove that. If you're going to just dismiss us because our shorter stories don't fit your ideal notion of what a Gaming Website Should Be, then I'm not going to fight you.
