ya just tried too hard man

If I Did It is the still the best work of fiction by a USC football player.

Ha. I remember like a year ago when those jokes were kind of funny.

Shaw will continue to be allowed to attend his classes. However, his teachers have become concerned that maybe his dog didn't really eat all of his homework this semester.

You should look much further than Zoe Quinn. She is most likely the worst example you could have picked for representing female game developers.

"Journalism"

What brand of journalism willingly turns a blind eye to the industry's biggest scandle (in recent memory) and the ripple effect it caused throughout?

Update: I initially wanted to keep this statement focused on questions about Kotaku's reporting. In doing so I didn't mention the fact that that criticism has been part of a larger week-long saga that has involved inexcusable harassment of developers and writers, including some Kotaku staff. This statement should not…

If you kiss on a developer you're reporting on or using as a source, you have an ethical requirement to disclose that. If you are kissing another staff member, that's your business. If you're kissing someone not related to games, that's your business.

He doesn't care. Literally. That's his stance. Patricia said the relationship wasn't THAT important, so it's OK for her to live with a developer that she gives praise to in multiple articles.

I'm personally hoping that while avoiding future instances of potential nepotism, you also make some effort to refocus this website away from tabloid-style journalism about personalities in the gaming sphere. I don't know when game journalism shifted from game coverage to people coverage, but it's always bugged me and…

There's no indication that you have done anything to discipline neither Nathan nor Patricia for their clear violation of ethics in having relationships with their subjects. All you've done is take whatever story they have and accept it out of hand.

What about Patricia Hernandez? She lives with someone she reports on as seen here:

I'm confused.

We agree on the need to ensure that, on the occasion where there is a personal connection between a writer and a developer, it's mentioned.

That's a debate for journalism critics.

I like how this issue has people approving while dissention is coming from grey users.

I believe you readers want the same thing my team, without exception, wants: a site that feels bullshit-free and independent

In other words, you've addressed the situation but will not be doing anything about it.

I demand for you to investigate further into the Patricia Hernandez and Anna Anthropy's relationship. Hernandez twitter feed has been made private as of this morning, but the information about their "friendship" prior to the writing of her articles is still out there
