Kokatu doesn't consider this a shuttering moment?
G/O Media, a network that owns websites but also knows nothing about running websites, has made further cuts at the already-beleaguered Kotaku, with a number of writers announcing today that they had been laid off. Willa Rowe and Moises Taveras, two writers who only joined the site earlier this year, were abruptly laid off by management this afternoon. Also announcing their departure from Kotaku today, albeit on their own terms, was Senior Editor Alyssa Mercante, who posted that after two years at the site she was moving on. The layoffs and the departure of Mercante leave Kotaku with just six full-time staff, including an Editor-in-Chief who only joined a few months ago after his predecessor resigned in protest over G/O Media's management of the site. They follow several rounds of layoffs to have already taken place in 2024, affecting both editorial staff and writers. "G/O Media’s management is once again punishing workers for its own bad decisions", Managing Editor Carolyn Petit wrote on Bluesky. "Management mandated that some writers stick to ‘service’ posts, and now that the numbers aren’t panning out (surprise, surprise!), two of those writers have been laid off. Cruel and misguided."

I'm not sure that'd be good for my career
Answer: Kotaku has a record of leaking information and writing articles that are bad for game publishers and developers. Take this 2013 article on Fallout 4, for example, that leaked a lot of details about the game before it was released, or this 2014 article spoiling information on Assassin's Creed Syndicate. And then there was this 2021 article that arguably encourages its readers to pirate Metroid: Dread. So it makes sense that Kotaku is kept out of the loop by these major game developers. That and the acquisition of the site by G/O Media, which led to the departure of several writers on the Kotaku staff, have led to the site becoming kind of a shell of its former self.

It starts with Hey, real quick: If you are a Nintendo lawyer or employee, just like... don’t read this And ends with Thank God for pirates, emulators, modders, and hackers.
