Let me be perfectly honest with you in regards to Kotaku if you're actually reading posts here. I genuinely cannot fathom why you left MTV for Kotaku. I get that MTV isn't necessarily game-oriented and maybe that was a deciding factor for you. If it's all the same to you, and a paycheck is a paycheck, then say no more, I'm in a similar situation. I've enjoyed a lot of the pieces that you've written over the years and the care with which some of them were written, but I haven't become a dedicated follower of yours or anything like that, if that makes sense.
Kotaku deserves every single bit of negative reaction that it gets. They have unabashedly published intentionally-misleading headlines, published headlines/articles with very key details absolutely wrong, only to edit and change them later without so much as a notice mentioning that they were wrong. They routinely make fools out of themselves with pre-event speculation (with the NGP press conference being a very good and recent example). They've been known to run rumors as fact. Despite your presence, they have been slowly drifting over to posting articles/content that have nothing to do with gaming at all. All it does is serve to waste screen real estate. Even you're doing it. That's just stuff I thought of off the top of my head - they got a rap sheet a mile long. I don't mind telling you that to me, Kotaku is the preeminent example of what is wrong with the state of video game journalism. I don't visit it anymore, and it's a real shame, because I enjoy reading your work.
As far as I know, the intention of any redesign for a website is to make things better, not worse. I've tried two different web browsers with some of the Gawker Media sites, and my mouse has literally no idea what section of the page I'm trying to scroll down. Not optimizing it for some computer screen sizes is really just not acceptable. That should have been taken care of prior to the launch of this stuff as it just makes people not want to go back. Condensing all of the content save for one giant headline/article into the sidebar over there brings up a number of potential issues, not the least of which is the potential for Kotaku's Bullshit Headline Syndrome to work overtime to get people to click on them. You have to scroll down quite a bit just to find anything that isn't the giant headline. I don't know what all has been posted on that site and if I had just logged onto it without knowing what Kotaku was, I'd wonder if I had actually stumbled onto a game site at all. And honestly, the whole "click to get to any details of the next article" thing really reminds me of what sites like 1Up were doing a few years back with their stupid Top 10 lists where they had one thing on a page, and you'd have to click through 9 through 11 of them just to see all of them. The whole thing smells like a way to generate more ad revenue without actually having a lot more ads on the page.
With any luck, I'll be able to go back to not caring about Kotaku at all.
, I decided that they really had nothing worthwhile to say anymore. It's not the worst thing they've posted, but just the last one I felt like reading.
