March 21, 2024 - Don't read or like Kotaku anymore after it lost Schrier and a few other good writers, but I dread the day it shuts down because a certain part of the internet will take it as a win regardless of the circumstances and be absolutely insufferable.

March 21, 2024 - What qualifies as "edgy" in gaming/anime news isn't really the kind of thing that gets you sued, at least insofar as Kotaku was concerned. The whole website's been spiraling down the toilet since Spanfeller took it over in 2018 or 2019 (forgetting the date).

r/pcgaming on Reddit: Kotaku is being sold out and there are signs of financial troubles
September 30, 2018 -
Honestly, this is good news for me. A lot of gaming news websites nowadays have become far too political and agenda-driven, not to mention their tendency to support company points of view for perks. To see Kotaku in financial trouble gives me hope that their brand of journalism is unpopular among the general population and will not last forever.

Kotaku Could Get SOLD or SHUT DOWN Soon?
January 4, 2024 - Kotaku may be on its way to being the next G4TV. While the controversial video game site apparently still gets a decent amount of traffic, ad rates are down and its parent organization is selling off its sister sites. More concerning is that Kotaku is lucky if they break 1,000 views on YouTube video uploads, and there’s very little interaction on social media…

Game over for Kotaku, Lifehacker and Gizmodo. Is this truly the end of Australian gaming journalism? | Jackson Ryan | The Guardian
January 15, 2025 - Ten years later I landed a job at the video game and culture website Kotaku Australia and its sister sites, Lifehacker and Gizmodo. Those brands kickstarted my career. Now those brands are no more. On Monday Nine’s Pedestrian Group, which licensed the trio of titles from US owners, announced it would be shuttering all three, in addition to Vice and Refinery29.
