The price has remained the same, but the profits AAA developers/publishers bring in has increased exponentially. FAR more than the cost of development has increased. The price hike is unnecessary.

I can genuinely say Kotaku’s writers over the past decade have been singularly the most amazing games journalists

I think one of the greatest compliments I could give to a reporter is that I often found myself reading articles on topics I wasn’t actually interested in, only because I saw his name attached to them.

He always gave a perspective that was interesting, even if I didn’t care about what he was writing about. He made me…

I remember when Mike went to a My little pony con and wrote about it here. He got a lot of shit about it on comments but sort of joked it away. I donnu it was just how he handle the whole thing that made an impact on me. Like I’m gonna like whatever damn thing I please and not care how it may look for others.

Thanks for this. I know folks have been hard on you guys for not posting, selfishly I was one of them. If it’s any consolation, it’s because his work touched so many people throughout the years. He was so visceral about his life and his health, that his death provoked a similar reaction in many of his fans. Mike was…

Think I’ve teared up three times reading this site: Mike’s struggle with gaming addiction, Mike’s story about being in a coma, and today reading this tribute.

While perhaps the badgering is a bit much they’re not wrong that the complete silence on the matter is a problematic look for Kotaku. They’ve managed to post several other cringe worthy articles over the weekend but can’t even put a note out? Polygon put up an obituary for him and that was written by Owen Good.…

Darrell Hammond did pretty well on SNL.

So everybody going to shit on Rock, and not call out fucking TMZ?  A joke is a joke (to a point), and Rock said an “offensive” joke.  Who cares.  Its a joke with literally no ill-will behind it.  Whereas TMZ knowingly called this chick, knowing (rather, HOPING) she would be upset and probably even HOPING they were the…

Surprised at Melissa. I figured she would stick around for another year to see if she could get more sketches now that Kate and Aidy aren’t there anymore sucking up all the air.

That commercial back in the day got me to immediately spring for SSFIV after sitting out the vanilla version.

I worked social media for the tournament and the music was one of the most universally praised things on Twitch and Twitter (for me personally, Tee Lopes is welcome to do all the things). Job well done by all the musicians!

My condolences to you and yours. We had to say goodbye to both of our cats about a month apart from each other earlier this year, and it was devastating. They were old gals, 17 and 19, but that doesn’t make the decision to end their suffering or the grief of their loss any easier to deal with, they were part of the…

I’m in the exact same boat. I’ve been waiting for this game for months, and then my cat suddenly died the very eve of its release. I think it may be a while before I get to this one.

I’m so sorry. You have my deepest sympathies. 

Sorry to hear of your loss... we had to say goodbye to our 21 year old baby in March, her kidney failure took a sharp turn and we knew it was time to let go. Looking back at pictures of her from the previous year or two, and the last few months, I know we made the right decision. It still wrecks me though.

I’m so very sorry for your loss.. We truly don’t deserve pets, we’re such a flawed species and yet they love us with all their beings. Losing them is to lose a deep part of yourself, and yet we can’t bring ourselves to live without them, because they fill our lives with such light and joy while they are with us. I…

So sorry to hear that. :( Going through the same thing with my dog right now so I know how devastating it is.  I hope you can avoid spoilers and play it on your own terms when you're ready to.

As someone who has loved and lost kitties, I totally feel for you. They leave a cat-shaped hole in your heart, and you think it’ll never be fillable. But with time, you don’t hurt so much.

Little Kitty Big City?
