A defunct gaming website.What is Waypoint? Never heard of it.

Austin Walker described the website as "the Lisa Simpson of gaming" and I cringed and never clicked on anything they did anymore.
same, while I feel bad for people losing their jobs I did feel some relief that it’s wasn’t WayforwardFor a second I tought it was Wayforward games. Stupid brain of mine
I used to listen to waypoint when they first started after kotakus collapse. By the time they hired Rob I was done. I like social commentary on my gaming pods but it became way too preachy.In his writeup he said he was unsure if the game was going to "show him porn".
Just imagine the horror of accidentally having to look at some boobs
Melanie Iglesias.Naw for real tho, who is that? For....research purposes.
His surname sounds like the sound of a woman walking in high heelslol fuck patrick klepek
Yet you cared enough to posti.....never heard of it and dont even bother to google.
Yeah vice was fucking sick when the paper magazine was full of shit like 'im a photographer for cnn but decided to become friends with some gun traffickers and they won't print this story'Vice got big by being a site full of people who went to crazy places and did crazy things.

Hopefully he finds his way to a new career field altogether.Hopefully the effected folks are able to land on their feet quick.
Patrick's probably gonna find his way back to Kotaku.
Game nerds are a hateful bunch and they live for the day they can shit on their "enemies."How did a literal bunch of whos' get 5 pages on GAF.

Not the original requestor, but thank you. So she's of Puerto Rican, Italian, and Philipino heritage. All three of those things are relevant to my interests. And my Google search history.Melanie Iglesias.
Yeah, that's how I feel about Vice as a whole as well. There's some legit interesting documentary stuff, but a lot of absolute trash. I just hope that if all of Vice goes down the crapper that Dark Side of the Ring finds a home.Every time I pass by Vice HQ, I'm surprised it's still there. They've put some good stuff out but they've also put out way more garbage in relation.

2016-2022: the great dislocationI feel great when far-left projects fail/close. Because i know it's not because of censorship (which they love) but because of the market correcting itself. Gives me a bit of hope for humans.
This salary is still baffling to me.
My guy, you get paid 100k to write stories about videogames, how is this a sustainable business model?
Stop. Like PK is absolutely annoying and performative, but that isn't relevant when someone with kids in a niche market they probably should've prepared for, gets the boot. Losing a job when you're older and taking care of a family aint a fun experience.
What is Waypoint? Never heard of it.
Looking at Waypoint's Youtube channel with the number of subscribers (55k ) and videos that barely hits 5k views, its absolutely pathetic for what Kotaku calls "A Good Website About Video Games".Plenty of YouTubers are pulling in six figures for producing superficially comparable content (gaming news, criticism, and analysis) when you factor in ad revenue, sponsorships, and Patreon.
The difference is that they're providing actual value to their audience by discussing subjects they're actually knowledgeable and passionate about, rather than just powering on the culture wars resentment machine and hoping to harvest clicks.
Good riddance to a business model that made the world an uglier, nastier place.

This is weird take.
Kotaku reader feeling hurt about the death of Waypoint despite never heard of them. Such projection.
A reminder that you did just that:No one said you were.
You told someone to stop talking about what the man did as part of his job for the company in question, with the reason being that he has kids. What is that if not trying to shift the focus onto him being a parent rather than the company's downfall as a whole?Stop.

Glorious day. The first piece of PK writing I have ever truly enjoyed is the tweet where he cries about providing for his family

Just what the video gaming industry needed, let's just be glad we don't have The Velma/Brian Griffin of gaming.Austin Walker described the website as "the Lisa Simpson of gaming" and I cringed and never clicked on anything they did anymore.
