By your logic, all games sound be the cost of the physical cartridge/disc and all games on PC should be free since only hardware is worth money to you. 

You must be a youngster. They’ve always been about gimmicks! ROB, the Power Glove, Super Scope, SNES mouse and keyboard, Donkey Kongas, the entire existence of the Virtual Boy and Nintendo Wii...

“Parents today are so stupid! Instead of getting kids a toy or playset, they give them these tiny little blocks that probably cost pennies and make them build it themselves!  How is this Lego thing going to last?!?!”

Hahaha we meant that we want them to invite us to their studio, not that we want them to pay for us. Kotaku has a very strong and consistent anti-press junket policy, and in fact, I’ve been doing this for 10 years now and have never accepted paid travel from a game company in my life. Although I will confess that somet…

So, are you saying Drew is responsible for Michael Tunison’s actions? Or that he needs to publicly condemn him for being accused of “stalking, harassment, physical intimidation”? Why? What does it have to do with Drew, aside from him knowing Tunison and working with him over a decade ago?

Dude, Breaking Bad would have been so much better if Skylar would have not been such a BITCH and just help Walt be a fucking BOSS.

I am not “trolling” Deadspin. I like Pardon My Take, and I get annoyed every time I am told by this website that I am evil for liking it.

Definitely a crowd whose takeaway from The Sopranos is that Tony is a badass

That’s not even close to being true. What you’re describing, even if you give everything you said there complete and total credence, is just hypocrisy and “Virtue Signaling” is not just another term for hypocrisy.

Barstool isn’t more successful than Deadspin. As Drew mentions in the piece, Deadspin gets significantly more traffic. I can’t even find Barstool on any list of top sports sites by traffic. That’s how little they matter in terms of clicks.

With MORE INTENSE CAPS

This would be a devastating blow if they hadn’t already addressed it and evolved as a company and a brand while long-term writers like Drew and Barry have apologized for Deadspin’s past (and their own on this site) and jumped aboard the “don’t write like an asshat” train.

And yet no one is scrambling to abandon the Deadspin brand because brands are helpful and important.Deadspin has made concerted efforts to shift away from misogyny over the last 8 years.

A Magary is never late, nor is he early, he arrives precisely when he gets out of intensive care.

Dave Portnoy is the real life equivalent of Dennis Reynolds.

They can rebuild him. They can make his takes better, faster, stronger.

He was Drew the Gray. After his battle with (the Balrog? for all we know) we believed him gone forever, but he has returned as Drew the White to help us destroy Sauron.

Whoa. Drew’s “accident” and “hospitalization” were apparently just a cover story while he was in the Weapon X program. Bring on the berserker attacks!

a site for boys who wanna grow up to be Donald Trump Jr.

Imagine fucking a PR bit so badly that you have to say this:
