It is kind of nice watching all the old 30/40+ year old video game journalist that grew to hate the profession all getting fired one by one. Hate what they have to do, suck too much to do anything else.

They made their connections and likely will find a place in the industry somewhere.

Good riddance to cancer like Patricia Hernandez.

Speaking of cancer, here's Andrew King of TheGamer that doesn't know that 'Get Woke Go Broke' really do exist.

The title of the article alone makes me believe this guy didn't play the game at all. There's like maybe two or three really minor "woke" things in the game that you might not even see unless you make certain choices.

It gets even funnier. Less than 24 hours after this post they put out an article bitching about Quiet from MGSV. Must have been a slow ass news day because that game came out in 2015.

That stupid-ass double standard rearing its head again.

Sexy men in vidya = omg, look at those hot man buns/abs!

These journos, rather than actually playing vidya, just have one look at Lara Croft and get pissed over how big boobs on an attractive female is the equivalent to the Babadook or some stupid shit

We launch this week with four co-founders: Nathan Grayson, Gita Jackson, Riley MacLeod, and Luke Plunkett. You’ll also see buddies Chris Person and Alex Jaffe around the site. You might remember most of us from Kotaku, where we broke news, covered events, and brought you hard-hitting investigations.

I was just about to post this. With The Escapist exploding some stuff is happening in the games "journalism"

The Verge did a puff piece:

Jackson elaborates: “I’m so interested in taking Aftermath and using the site to discuss the way that we live now and the way that capitalism and the internet have really intertwined and changed a lot of the ways that we find self-expression, the way that media is made, and the way that we consume it.”

"Capitalism bad" while devoting their lives to writing about an industry that would not function without capitalism. No sale.

Plunkett can be okay if he would stick to games. But Grayson and Jackson are bad and I've never heard of the other person.

Indicative of the state of games journalism, there's worse out there. None of them appear to be troons, for example. Grayson is certainly particularly bad, though to be fair most of them blur together, so knowing which one wrote which particularly egregious article gets muddled, for me. Can't remember which 'journalist' posted the Harry Potter porn, for example.
 
I look forward to these people setting up new sites, while laughing about the 'unreasonable corporate expectations' they escaped, and then seeing the CPM's that are offered and the fees that payment processors take (and the TOS that could kill your business in a heartbeat if you step outta line) and realize they can't escape it.
