Lack of self-awareness is always over 9000 level with these people.Lol yes, they literally had a job where they got to sit in an air conditioned room and talk about entertainment products. That has to be the cushiest and least essential job in the history of mankind, and they act like they are living in the most unfair and oppressive society on earth
With all changes i can tell EZA isnt far from a cliff fall too, man, they lost many good ppl and got no1 interesting as replacement, not to mention full on wokeism, never cared about giantbomb so cant comment on thatHad I bet Giantbomb, Easy Allies or Waypoint would go out first, I wouldve said Waypoint.
So much for that cushy six figure union job where you play video games and write awful articles about them for a living….
Good riddance, the market was due for a reset from insanity like this
Vice got big by being a site full of people who went to crazy places and did crazy things. They also encapsulated the hipster ethos of late 00s Brooklyn (when and where they started) and reflected that culture. Then, somewhere along the way, they turned into a more political SJW Bustle for reasons I still do not know. It's been worthless for a long time.
Idk anything about this site but resetera is devastated so it sounds like something I would have really not enjoyed
Best of luck to the crew, they’ll find something

Should be noted this is a guy would cancel, fire, and imprison everyone who has ever posted on post-exodus Neogaf if given the chance. Guy is as far alt left as a REEE mod. No reason to feel bad or defend him though, he'll have no problem landing another 6 figure job at some other tech media outlet. They always fail upward.
No one is obligated to give a shit.
Still surprised Era and Kotaku are there but hey at least they have their own bubbleI’m surprised a gaming blog full of the most insufferable douchebags lasted as long as it did.

I can assure you no one having decision making power on hiring and revenue generation will ever give 6 figures salary for a writer of a video games outlet.Should be noted this is a guy would cancel, fire, and imprison everyone who has ever posted on post-exodus Neogaf if given the chance.

What about following your passion?As someone with three kids who has swallowed absolute career shit in order to provide for them, he could always stop writing about video games for a living and do what 99% of the workforce do.
Extra cheerful news:
The same "professional" Kotaku:
Naw for real tho, who is that? For....research purposes.hey, Patrick
Wow. What am I missing? Can somebody give me a quick recap of what’s going on with that guy?His wife can always divorce and find someone with actual job skills. There's no place for useless fathers in this world.
Can someone brief me who this guy is and why the #learntocode comments?

I mean, it absolutley was, but i appreciated that they didnt try to pretend it wasnt. Game-spot wanted to pretend to have a political agenda, but then when the money was too tempting, they went and covered Hogwarts legacy anyway, despite their hemming and hawing. Ill give way point credit for not backing down even with financial pressure. Not saying i agreed with way point, but they did not fuck around about what their mission statement was, and they stayed true to their virtues, even if, again, i didnt agree with all of them.Not to throw salt in their wound. I didn’t read their stuff. It felt too much like an agenda driven site than a video game news site. It’s a finger pointing contest with people who have worked in the gaming journalist industry for X+ amount of years. Hopefully their families will survive this.
Kotaku is on borrowed time and I'm kinda surprised its lasted this long, its been a laughing stock for years in gamesDon't worry. Their bubble is getting smaller.
Era realized this when Hogwarts Legacy boycott failed, and Kotaku with the recent blacklist from Nintendo.
Kind of ironic Waypoint mantra is to "fuck capitalism, go home".
Well, now Waypoint staff can go home because they have no job.
Imagine getting paid 6 figures to write about games, when I know nurses who are struggling to make a living. Its hard to feel bad for him in that contextImagine owning a business and paying Klepek a six figure salary.
