You just watched the mind of Hideo Kojima finally off the leash of a major publisher.
Time to see if Konami holding him back was a good thing or not.
sony: hey can you say fuck you to konami somehow
I am confused. isn’t this exactly like being a PC gamer? the beauty of the console is the stable platform, that I can open a game and put it in and it plays. no fussing about with drivers or settings, no needing to upgrade my memory or CPU to play, shit just works on consoles. this semi-new-console thing feels very…
It’s kind of the realization of the concerns people had way back when Microsoft first announced the original Xbox: that they would eventually lead consoles into a convergence with PCs. Some people scoffed at the idea then, but now it’s happening.
I’m not a fan. I like the unique identity that consoles have historically…
Meh. This semi-new-console concept is making me yawn and want to go back to PC gaming full-time.
Thank you for being wonderful readers and sticking with us through thick and thin. :)
Here’s the thing - I’m not saying they aren’t despicable, hypocritical asses. I’m not even saying they didn’t deserve to lose the Hogan case from a legal perspective (although I don’t know enough about law to go either way), or be dinged as a result. But I’m just really not sanguine on the “I have more money than you,…
I just want to say that regardless of what people say about Kotaku out in the wild, of all of the games journalism I have read, you guys write the most genuine feeling material. You love what you write about and it shows.
I do not think that stuff was high brow, but none of it is illegal. Someone who had a grudge against Gawker used his ample financial capabilities to essentially sue them out of existence. That's not something any of us should be cheering. I won't miss Gawker in the least, but the super rich taking down the not as rich…

All the sites have done great reporting. The investigative reporters at Deadspin who reported on Greg Hardy and Kevin Johnson, for example, are an inspiration to our news team. Jezebel has been doing some great politics coverage. Gawker got people talking about the allegations against Bill Cosby before that became a…
For real, thanks everyone for reading and for the support, every time one of you says something nice about the site or our work it means a lot. Probably more than you think. Special thanks to everyone who has tweeted at me about Suikoden 2. <3 <3 <3
That’s right, as long as the post office doesn’t screw up the deliver, you can still expect tomorrow’s Ecto Cooler review. Thanks for reading!
What does that mean for Kotaku? Thankfully, not much. We aren’t going anywhere. [...] At some point this year, we and the rest of the sites at our company will be doing what we do under a new owner. That’s a ways off. For now, you can expect us to proceed with business as usual. We will continue to try to put the…
But here’s the thing: Even if Gawker were really the most wretched hive of scum and villainy in the universe (hint: they aren’t), the “litigate ‘em to death by a thousand debts” precedent is a terrible thing.
I really hope not, but we keep losing more and more writers whose articles I’ve really enjoyed reading, so it looks that way. That’s not to say that those that remain aren’t great, rather that the those that have left were great additions to the team and it’s been sad to see them go. There’s still a good team here,…
Indeed.
