Kotaku blacklisted by Bethesda and Ubisoft

[CM30]

Yeah, they apparently leaked a new game or something, so part of the industry decided to stop giving them free games and publicity. As you can tell, they're not happy about it.

Some reactions:

So yeah. Personally? Good riddance. Given how they treat their audience, I wouldn't be unhappy if Kotaku did get shut out of the gaming news racket, or even just shut down altogether. As much as I hate embargoes and crap, this is practically poetic justice for these idiots.

Thoughts?

Kotaku does have some bad things going for it, but I find their variety of different articles always interesting to read. A revamp would be needed but not shut down.

Kotaku is like that annoying cousin that plays pranks on everybody and then gets hurt when he discovered there was a party and wonders why he was not invited.

I enjoyed reading how they hit their own chest saying they do it for us, the readers, and will continue no matter how many developers cast them away for doing what is right. I could even hear the dramatic music in the background.

If you don't respect the developer's agreements don't be surprised they take actions.

I hate that site. I can't say that I'm siding with either, though.

i don't feel bad for them, you cant go around leaking companies information that can cause thier fans to lose interest in the game that was leaked to early. they deserve everything thats coming to them.
