    I have to admit that I’m not really familiar with that website. Kotaku on the other hand is a site whose links I never click, unless archived.

      That website has so much ragebait and I’ve never noticed it to ever have been anything better than that since I first started seeing articles from them. Once I noticed I stopped. Like 15-18 years ago I would read Kotaku but at some point it became click bait and weirdly gooner bait for a while so I stopped with that site 15-18 years ago. Like the site started good but then became the worst kind of geekdom pandering. Like Perez Hilton for fictional characters

      It happens to every gaming site. Some worse than others. Gamespot post-Kane and Lynch and IGN at some point became a shameless industry advertising site. Polygon started real good and quickly devolved into a terrible ratio of clickbait to occasional good article. At this point the only games media I care for are official communications and gameplay videos from randoms on YouTube or twitch where the only narration I care to hear is about bugs and performance. Gameplay can show itself in video. I can judge writing myself
