By now, you have probably read (or heard) about Kotaku’s editor in chief Stephen Totilo crying over the fact that Kotaku has been blacklisted by Bethesda, and Ubisoft. Well, there is more to it than just that. In fact, things might be so bad that Kotaku “might” be shut down in the near future. And this is the reason why (the opinions belong to Kenay Peterson, The Gaming Ground).
Hanzala from eXputer: "With Ubisoft's practices becoming increasingly anti-consumer lately, the destruction of The Sands of Time Remake looks almost inevitable."
Hey Ubi, here's a gun, don't shoot yourself in the foot.
*Ubi takes gun, aims at foot, empties clip*
Top executives including games boss Sean Shoptaw have also been promoted…
Behind XDefiant's toxic work culture, crunch, delays, and a group of directors and managers internally referred to as 'The Boys Club'.
Man the industry just keeps on going with all this bs and to think this is ubisoft again remember what happened with that skull bones team same crap.

This game will be tossed out broken unplolished with a bloated budget trying to be cod but will fail sense ubi can get there shit in order. If i was me i would have gotten rid of this boys club asap there is alot looking for work out there.
Every industry has these issues
Some companies I’ve worked for were great and some were toxic as hell (UPS when I was a teenager was extremely toxic and I have heard it still is) It all starts at the top. They either hold people accountable , set standards and treat people with respect or the crap rolls downhill.
That might be the outcome yes, but how soon will that happen? It´s hard to say, next year perhaps?
Kotaku and similar websites should be shut down as soon as possible.
Totilo and everyone there who was responsible for the clickbait articles, the SJW ones, the really weird and sometimes dumb writings we saw there should never be employed on a website which has big investors in the background.
They should learn how it is to start an own website with almost no budget and try to gain an audience through quality.Through well written blogs that make sense after all and are not full of speculations and so much political correctness that it hurt.

I'd rather have Polygon go away, but let's be honest...does anyone think Kotaku will actually go away? I mean that would just make things too easy.
WOW. This article said writers, are giving away their a$$ for hot stories. That's insane.
