  • Kotaku editor Alyssa Mercante should be fired, honestly. She's spending all day on Twitter trolling gamers over Stellar Blade and Helldivers 2, and chastising game publishers for catering to "the chuds." She's melting down on Twitter and even had an interview with Hard Drive about "the chuds" and, in particular, Grummz.

      It's hard to remember so far back when Kotaku actually had some credibility and respect.
      I mean that's game urinalists as a whole these days but it is a remarkable that even the most respected have all lost even the smallest amount of objectivity.
      The goal for them is very clear, and every single one is in lockstep at this point.

Journalists honestly believe it is there job to ensure the population is told what they need to know because they honestly believe the smelly people are too stupid to be able to successfully filter out the raw information into correct sentences.
      They believe this. There was a big interview with a major UK based editor (which I can't now find again) where this retiring editor directly stated that the vertical model of information was the only correct model (ie - information is controlled by those who have the skills and technology to spread information) and the horizontal model (ie - people sharing between themselves... aka NuMedia) was dangerous.

    If you haven't figured it out. With Kotaku circling the drain, the editor is doing what she can to get her name out there. Stirring the pot keeps her name in play, which means she likely will have opportunities once Kotaku vanishes. She's feathering her nest by turning herself in a brand. It is clearly working. The more people remember her name, the more opportunities she will likely get later.

And yet folks like Alyssa want to hide behind the "I was harassed and threatened" defense. Show us the proof then? And even if that was the case, just because you were hurt doesn't mean you and folks like you are justified in attacking these individuals the way that you have. And especially when you're so hypocritical about Stellar Blade with say Hades 2. What I see is that Alyssa is salty. Salty over the fact her industry is declining. Salty that folks, like Asmongold, Grums, Clownfish everyone here get more engagement and notoriety than she did. To the point, where she had to go on a podcast to another TH-cam channel whois just as sad with his progressive pushes which barely gain any traction. All in all, there's a reason why gamers do not care about these "journalists". They are activists who are pissed that their power; their control that they've had since 2014 is slipping quickly. Being eroded due to economic forces and the widespread nature of the Internet and influencers. To those who are mad at me who are within that space I have a few words: pound sand.

    By the way, if you want to open up a PSN account in Europe, they want either biometric data by providing a face scan or a copy of your ID Card. This is some serious data they are asking for and there is no way customers are going to bend to that. And refusing access to a product after purchase until you provide such data is straight illegal in my country.
