I think the value proposition of the Tesla is so clearly heads and shoulders above the rest of the industry, from the prices that are often 20k less than a comparable Ford or 15k less than a comparable Kia... AND free charging... AND the $7500 tax credit. It’s really a little bit stubborn, or dumb if one wants an…

I just can’t stand seeing average used cars STILL advertised for over NEW MSRP Pricing... Just saw a ‘22 civic si, for 33k.... 

I called a local dealer who confirmed they had one on the lot available for a test drive. Went to the dealer, and they did not have one for test drives available.

....or rich enough.

Awesome. Just let us know when ADM goes away and dealers start actually dealing again. 

wow, you know, Luke I’ve read your work since those early days. Being only a few years older myself and being a long-time Gawker reader to Kotaku and hanging through the rollercoaster of all the garbage Gawker went through, but folks like you helped to keep some of that spirit through here on Kotaku. I can say I’ve…

Let’s not forget the 20 rows of fucking Taboola shitposts at the end of each article, with a few actual links to other Kotaku pages sprinkled in to add to the confusion.

Fuck.

Wow. What a run. I’ve been here since the Crecente days and I gotta say it’s been a good one here at Kotaku. But I gotta say it’s time for me to leave too. Not to say that this site isn’t in great hands. It’s just not the same as it used to be. I can’t describe it, but here we are anyway. Be well, Luke.

more and more consolidation with things being worse for the end user/customer.

Same. Content™ to Generate™ Impressions™.

Anyone know of a good replacement? I like Rock Paper Shotgun, but they’re exclusively PC games.

Crazy, man. I think I’ve been reading since late 2007 or early 2008. The last of the old guard. It’s not gonna be the same without you. Hope you’re moving on to new, great things.

That team photo is nuts. I think the best years really were from like 2010ish to 2016ish? No shade to everyone before and/or after. You’re…

A few days ago i commented on some guide article about how this website sure has changed and someone replied “elaborate”. And well... now this happened.

Honestly with Luke gone I don’t see a point in returning to this site anymore. His were some of the few articles I found tolerable to read or even mildly informative without relying on constant opinion and hearsay without research being done.

Every time you guys post that 2015 photo it hits me with nostalgia. Good luck Luke, thanks for all your great articles.

The internet and websites we frequent are just overall shittier than they were 10, even 5 years ago. More and more places disappearing, more and more consolidation with things being worse for the end user/customer. 

I sometimes say “pour one out for a Real One” but damn man, you were a REAL Real One. As someone who has been reading the site since the Dark Times of “Gabe Sightings”, every one of these farewell posts from those in the photo has stung, but this one especially.

Loved the writing, loved the shitposting, loved the art/c…

Waypoint shut down, All of Giant Bomb’s original folks moved on, now the last of the oldschool Kotaku writers leaves the site. I know that most of these folks have other projects ongoing, but it does seem like a lot of my old standard bookmarks aren’t what they used to be, for better or worse.

I’ve been around these parts on and off since 2009, feels like the last OG is leaving the building. Not that we had a great rapport or anything, but you were a stalwart of the site. Good luck in your future pursuits.
