Those rascally journalists and gaming news websites, making money off of reporting current and popular gaming news! /s

If you care so much about Hong Kong (a laudable thing, to be sure!), are you going to donate money to the cause? Just wondering.

This isn’t milking it, this is Journalism, I personally can’t wait for the shit show at Blizzcon and I hope Kotaku reports on it.

Why apologize? Because I don’t think we should be running uncensored screenshots of animations of young characters from popular fiction having sex. I’m not saying we should write about it or even in some fashion show people what it is we’re talking about, but how we presented it exceeded what many readers expected.

I…

Noted, but I don’t have control of that. My focus was on addressing the readers. I’ll ask our tech people if that’s possible, but it’s not an option I’ve pursued. I tend to not think about advertisers when we run our posts. 

I feel like apologies on behalf of the website should not have ads running on their pages. You not only profited from disturbing imagery, you take those same people who took offense, and apologize to them, but also double dip and get more money as well. It makes the apology feel disingenuous when partway through I see…

I honestly don’t understand how, every week, this feature has so much negativity and anger in the comments.

Wow, it really is just like launch.

Ah I see the script kiddies got bored and are in need of attention.

The proper term isn’t downvotes, it’s “surprise disagreements.”

I really appreciate reporting that doesn’t pretend the last five or ten years of game development trends. There’s a million places to stick the ‘turning point’ flag, but if the twin FO76/Anthem debacle wasn’t the nadir for industry BS masquerading as product, it’s going to suck to see what it will actually take to…

I dunno, guys, Jason doesn’t quite seem sold on this one.

Nah, that sort looks for news articles to shout out their support and sneer at anyone that, ya know, gives a damn about anyone that isn’t like them.

Hell, there are even one or two here. I’m a little surprised about that part, to be honest.

I was really anticipating this game, because I have an undying love for all the old Build engine games. Nonetheless, I requested and received a Steam refund as soon as this started. I’m not giving my money to bigots.

However, a portion of our community made it loud and clear they felt removing ‘Ogay’ was censorship and should be protected by free speech that they do not understand how freedom of speech works.

Ah, classic “Want to have it both ways” mentality. Which never works

Fun Fact — choosing not to say or do something awful after considering saying or doing something awful is not censorship. It is just deciding on your own to be a better person.
