I just wanted to say to you Stephen and all the writers on staff that I appreciate your hard work and dedication. I do use kotaku reviews as a way to inform my purchase decision of games I am on the fence about. I will agree with other commenters that I do get a lot of insight to how a game plays when I watch… Read more
That Defector piece was a rough read when it dropped, and really sad to see from people who (in theory?) worked in the same office as Kotaku and probably heard about this stuff first hand. Kind of a gut punch for me and I’m just an unaffiliated schmuk, I can only imagine how that was received by people in the… Read more
“Holding a review back can be tough for outlets that rely on a traffic surge when a review embargo lifts. Outlets want to be in those Google searches and review round-ups, though a bigger outlet like Kotaku can afford to sit on a review and still get traffic when it does publish.” Read more
No! I’m so sad to see this. I loved reading his work. András was a wonderful person who helped the TAY community out so much during his morning shifts. Spoke with him a few times to thank him and he was always so awesome and kind. I’ll forever be grateful to him. Read more
Wow, this is heartbreaking news. András was such a wonderful, pleasant, polite, hardworking member of the team. He will be missed. Read more
Goddammit. Read more
Of course, the far bigger issue is that a loud proportion of Cyberpunk 2077 purchasers (and indeed any other big-name game) don’t want reviews at all. They want reassurance. They paid for this game nearly two years ago, for whatever illogical reason (“I’m supporting the massive multi-million dollar company!”),… Read more
Man people are fucking garbage.
She rocks. She’s busting her ass to bring good content to people, doing something she clearly loves, and she’s beginning to see the benefits of her hard work starting to pay off.

Vince Mcmahons preferred way of doing things is getting more and more outdated. I’ve followed WWE for nearly 30 years and most of the stupid decisions the company has made can be traced to Vince himself. I for one think it’s stupid the wrestlers are considered contractors but that’s just how the business has been for… Read more
The only thing required for a union to happen at this point is for the top guy to push for it. As stated in the article, Hogan was not that guy. Cena was clearly not that guy. Is Roman that guy? He took a bunch of time off for covid and everyone assumed he'd get a ton of shit for that, and yet upon his return he has… Read more
dang, other than those shadows, Syndicate looks great. I’d say it looks better than Valhalla so far. Read more
WTF Totilo!!! You did this!!! You’re like the Schreier of video game meat! Read more
AOC is a goddamned national treasure. Unabashedly progressive, kicked moderate ass in her elections, calls Republicans on their bullshit, skillfully claps back when they try to attack her, and she somehow successfully managed to merge political awareness with Twitch in a way that didn’t feel forced or scripted? In my… Read more
RIP Etika. Still miss the guy. Still think about his legendary freakouts, still think about all the encouraging things he had to say during his streams despite his own struggles. Read more
