This seems like one of those times where the leadership believes that there’s actually value in the name of the publication. When it comes to game news, there’s hardly any value in the name.

They aren’t the New York times of game news. I’m not going to think oh look a kotaku article just because of the name, I went there because of the quality of journalism that was there.

If the quality of journalism falls or has fallen then I won’t go there anymore. Simple as that. An editor like this I will probably follow to the next place that they start writing from.

lol, I see that name and it actually lowers the likelihood I’ll read it. They do have good info, but sometimes take it too far with editorializing. That said, they’re not polygon, which I’ll just skip.
