I stopped visiting Kotaku a while ago but came back to see just what kind of response this comic would provoke and I have to say I’m not surprised in the slightest.

kotaku has its political focuses and will straight up work to destroy a developer if its not approved on kotaku’s politcal axis.

Funny, the behavior of this site indicates you can dish “it” out but you can not take “it”.

Implying the financial system based on click-bait, scandals and gossip known as Gawker Media Company qualifies as ‘press’.

No, totally. Dishing it out but being unable to take it isn’t weird or hypocritical in the slightest. Let’s run more stories about Dickwolves and what an asshole Krahulik is to prove how totally fair and not thin skinned you are Jason.

Critical Miss did it too, with an albeit backhanded compliment. In any event complaining about being blacklisted and then essentially blacklisting the most popular web-comic on the internet for mentioning it reeks of hypocrisy. How many articles on Dickwolves did you guys run? If you can dish it out it is unreasonable…

Awesome. We’ll teach that Penny Arcade a lesson by featuring only terrible comics from people who speak English as a 3rd language or who are still making Team Fortress jokes from 1997. That will show them for daring to insult our holy medium.

Both of those PA comics can be true at the same time. Showing them both together does not demonstrate author hypocrisy.

“I just don’t see the point in featuring a comic on our website from creators who actively despise it.”
So what you’re saying is... you don’t like how they represent you, and as a result you’re not going to actively support their content?
The irony as this relates to Ubisoft and Bethesda is so thick I’m choking on it.

Well, not posting the comic kinda makes you like them :(

Sure, there’s room for journalists who report on problems, leaks, and secrets. But it’s incredibly hypocritical of them to complain about how, after they monger rumors, write misleading headlines, and leak secrets they knew were under NDA, the companies they’ve been hurting will still want to work closely with them.

and yet, you posted that terrible Double XP comic.

and Kotaku responses with a resounding “nun-uh!” This site has been click-baity and yellow journalistic for years, stirring shit where none really existed and providing spoiler-filled traffic driving but not really informative articles for years. They are acting like they’re the New York Times when they’re really the…

The only bad thing about the Dickwolves fiasco is that they bowed for a time to the perpetually outraged. What was so bad about it, honestly? In your own words, not some regurgitated tripe about “rape culture.”

Just one more reason for them to accurately criticize game journalists, then. You could have been a big person and posted it anyways but you’re not really about sharing information, you’re about making yourself look good.

newsflash: you can like something and be critical of it AT THE SAME TIME. haven’t you been listening to our high gaming priest Sarkeesian?

To be fair, I think you guys also misrepresented yourselves in the non mea culpa from a couple of days ago. I love your site and it’s a refreshing read for the gaming community. But you guys knowingly engaged in this behavior a couple of times and leaked scripts which had nothing to do with how good a game was going…

Gotta control the thoughts of the morons that read the site so something that calls them on their bullshit is not propaganda meterial and not posted on their site. They’d censor it if they could. You know how these Nazi’s are. I know they love censoring anyone that calls them on their shit in the comment section.

No Penny-Arcade this week?

Are you suggesting that Kotaku would blacklist somebody for saying something mean about them? How awful.
