Buffalo is like Rome under Caligula but without the art, culture, economic might, military power, political intrigue, international influence, and functional government.

Again, you (and many others) have missed the point. I don’t have issues what they’ve done up before this post, and have enjoyed the coverage. But to post this now just comes off as chest-pounding “Look at us for having integrity!” Do you think the volume of their coverage would have been different if they had received…

Oh no so they have been blacklisted for two years, but only now have the testicular fortitude to come out and say they have been blacklisted?
They couldn’t have a spine and say so right away?
Pull your head out of the sand and realize that Kotaku is not standing proud, they are curled so tightly into a ball that they…

I would say that if you’re going to take a strong stance against a publisher and its marketing practices, yes. Or keep it to a minimum - like I said, 10 posts in 7 days for a game by a publisher they want to decry their relationship with is a bit extreme. I’d say at the very least they should have posted this last…

Watergate uncovered that a sitting president had his people break in to an opposition party’s offices, install bugs for spying, and harass political opponents. All of which are illegal activities. That clearly falls in the domain of investigative journalism as an important service for the greater public good.…

“After all, you’re in the business of gaming news and criticism. Kind of hard to sell your product if it has neither news nor criticism.”

That really only applies to situations where the party in question is doing something they shouldn’t. Is it really out of line to not want content under development to be released? It is intellectual property they don’t want getting out, and they have every right to keep it private if they feel so inclined. I can see…

If you’re pissing off large developers and getting access to them cut off, are you really serving your readers? Or are you sacrificing long-term relationships for a short-term boost to page hits?

Sure, it’s news. Sure, readers will want to know. But sometimes discretion is the better part of valor...and sometimes…

I don’t know. This seems so bitchy. If you pissed them off, great. Part of reporting is pissing people off and losing access. It’s part of the game. It’s unseemly to bitch about it like a little bitchy bitch.

Now is my time to shine and I got nothing.

But if Gronk or JJ Watt do this sort of stuff, its WACKY and ALL IN GOOD FUN!

This never happened when Brett Favre was quarterback! No tablets were available because he’d ingested them all.

I thought it was Krampus.

This sounds like a really fun trolling tactic, and I would have loved to take part in it myself if Cam Newton hadn’t stolen my laptop.

Really, though, where’s that monkey?

Aren’t you just bodyshaming them?

Tim Tebow started 16 games in the NFL,so it’s not without precedent...

zubaz pants!!!
