Hopefully Jason and Patrick can find a suitable alternative if worst comes to it.
Hopefully filing for Chapter 11 means that most can keep their jobs there. I know they're polarizing but they've put out so much of my favorite writing (Schreier, Narcisse, and Hamilton at Kotaku especially but I really do love Jalopnik and Jezebel too) over the last few years.
I'll never understand where that $140m figure came from. Blows my mind when Erin Andrews only ended up with $6m.
Shouldn't Kotaku make an article about this? Since they always making an article about everything else?
Prepare for mandatory ads.Wow so IGN might end up owning Kotaku? That's depressing :-(
I don't feel bad for the upper management of Gawker that put the company in this position. They played a dangerous game and lost. They outed people, posted the Hogan video, and conducted themselves in a poor fashion.
I feel bad for those who work for the company and had nothing to do with the events that led to this. They are the victims here.
He must've atleast thought about this possibility. He's not stupid.Klepek just bought a house and of course this happens
I made the mistake of reading a Kotaku article a few weeks back. It was on a developer closure and I was just curious to know if they had anymore info. Instead, I was greeted to a picture of some soccer players getting fucked as one of their featured sister site articles. Clearly that's what I wanted to see on a video game website ...
Not every person who works for a Gawker outlet is terrible, but Gawker is a terrible outlet.
As long as he buries Kotaku, I am fine with it... I really dislike that site.
So hold on. If they file for bankruptcy and another company buys Gawker, doesn't the new company end up with the bill?

I'm a tad bit out of the loop on how that all played out. Who, in the end, made the final decision to publish the story? Was that something the author simply did or was it proven that it was approved by someone higher like Denton?Man I bet they're really kicking themselves for publishing that article.

I have no doubt that he'll be okay, he's a national treasure. I'm just saying the timing is unfortunateI have a feeling, with his contacts in the industry, he will be okay.
There is plenty of nepotism that is rampant in the games and games media industry.
Ew. Hopefully not.IGN and Kotaku merger...
Was it one of the studios that makes FIFA?
surely an editor/editor in chief decides what gets published, right?I'm a tad bit out of the loop on how that all played out. Who, in the end, made the final decision to publish the story? Was that something the author simply did or was it proven that it was approved by someone higher like Denton?

Absolutely agree with this. That said, I think we saw a significant amount of "boots on the ground" employees either defending management or outright supporting their beliefsI don't feel bad for the upper management of Gawker that put the company in this position.
