Agreed.
This article is a joke.
Yes, he makes some valid points. But he does so with horrid writing and outlandish accusations.
Jesus. His whole effing blog has 6 posts in its archive. 6 POSTS!!!
Read gaming news, take it with a grain of salt, and then move on... Remember that it takes a lot of guts to try and go professional in the gaming press industry.
I'd argue that all of Kotaku, IGN, Gamespot and the like were started by a passionate few. But if you think they've sold out and are too far-gone to be considered legitimate, then maybe you should move on. Find a blog that's opinionated and hot-headed. If you hate the hidden-agenda of places like IGN, head to DSFanboy.com. No hidden agenda there.
My point is, in an industry so inundated with press outlets, readers have to take it upon themselves to select their sources. Find places that you're in line with and enjoy. I don't agree with what Kotaku has to say, so I don't go there. I like Joystiq, Kombo and GameTrailers... It's all preference. I'm not wrong for liking these sites.
Hell, isn't this just about video games? I just want to look at sweet trailers, read funny articles and shoot stuff.
