   >Four ex-Kotaku (Nathan Grayson, Gita Jackson, Riley MacLeod, and Luke Plunkett) are launching a new subscriber-based video games and culture publication: Aftermath

   > Jackson elaborates: “I’m so interested in taking Aftermath and using the site to discuss the way that we live now and the way that capitalism and the internet have really intertwined
   
   Not that it's totally wrong, but "Videogames?" this is a real great start to them explaining their website and I absolutely do not trust any of the Kotaku fuckers to not have terrible IDPol filled articles that are just plain garbage
   
   Also
   >putting up with abuse and harassment from readers
   As Kotaku didn't deserve most of that hate

     I'll add that these fuckers are basically the "boomers" of videogame journalism
     
     Basically, the people who should have fucked off a long while ago, because they don't belong there anymore, so that younger more enthusiastic people get their chances and stop annoying everyone with ideological bullshit, but no, they wouldn't fuck off and practically took down the industry with them to the level where people just want to see official announcements and nothing else because everything else was a spectacular trash trainwreck
