I think most gaming sites are shit for different reasons.
But I'm gonna need your take so I know what type of person you are.
Kotaku only does rage bait and polarizing content for the sake of gaining as many ad impressions as possible. And before you reply yes I do not agree with their coverage of gamergate 2 or their “journalists” intention to write hit pieces on streamers that disagree with her.
Whoop, there it is. Predictable
Your response is too, keep glazing for sweet baby and playing shit games.
Lmao what does sweet baby even do
Sweet Baby is a consulting organization that sells themselves on promoting diversity and inclusovoty in the gaming industry. This isn’t the issue. Problems arose when it was discovered Sweet Baby Inc affiliated games shared similar issues, token characters, bad dialogue, etc. When people finally put two and two together, they panicked, called everyone that said their games were bad racist, threatened legal action, attempted to dox and harass people, and make asses of themselves. This has lead to more of these “consulting” firms being exposed and having similar reactions.
I’ve played a few SBI games, I can say I really only enjoyed Sable, but that game has issues and can mostly be skipped over. The problem with Kotaku is the head journalist choosing Sweet Baby Inc’s side before any if the major controversies and is now actively writing hit pieces against gamers and major streamers that disagree with her and SBI.
Kotaku is shit and lacks a vision other than writing a bunch of polarizing counter culture bullshit and shouldnt be trusted to factually report on anything.
