I want to keep an eye on that Ubisoft NFT game for a couple of days. To see how quickly it flops, cause that’s a hilarious failure incoming.

Dielan

Mercante is out!

Here's the attached image on the tweet: saved it off just incase she deletes it or goes private

I know shewrote it as if she chose to leave, but it begs further questions. With her departure there's nobody left at Kotaku that has any ongoing controversy. They might actually be sticking to sports lmao

Dielan wait it gets better

Another round of journo layoffs, this time inverse

So sudden its almost like several outlets suddenly lost a source of funding I wonder what kind of major event could have led to that

SkoomaDealer

Apparently, yelling, threatening, and blaming audiences didn’t work out. Neither did coercion or lying. AAA suffered bad this year specifically. As did anything relying on “in your face” woke ideology. People don’t like being talked down to and there’s a lot of establishment media and companies crumbling because they haven’t moved on from 2014.

Dielan

Not commenting on the occasional blunders of the pirat_nation account on twitter right now, but he has tweeted a meme about DEG Mods. Seen by half a million people

This is huge exposure!!!

Dielan

Dielan I know when we covered this I mentioned my first impression was that DEG might be short for degenerate (its not) but hilarious the meme in question was about a sex mod lmao

SkoomaDealer

I know the meme is about a sex mod (in a loose sense). But I think it’s a fair thing to mod in and highlights how easily lines can be drawn on the platforms that are better known.

Dielan

I saw this tweet right

And noticed Eurogamer gave the new DQ remake a surprisingly low score. I checked out their review and this game absolutely humbled the reviewer. This is a spite score Lmao

Can't wait to see of IGN does something similar

Victim

Funny that it doesn't feel that old. Covid brainrot.

Dielan

Victim also NO GAMES

Dielan

You know, this might actually happen

SkoomaDealer

We’d all counted them out, but Kick has managed to hold on long enough to maybe win.

Dielan

SkoomaDealer its like watching a NASCAR race and one car ran out of gas, two others crashed into each other, and the last car standing is only standing cuz it was going slow
