Kotaku is what happens when you get bought out, bitchslapped, and mandated to boost readership by any means possible. Clickbait bloggers in the dying throes of their lives.

Can't wait to see this ship sink. I visit regularly with an adblocker on to drain them of revenue.

Of course they couldn't let Sony get this win. The smear campaign continues. Astrobot has his own identity, the bots are just homage what's wrong with that?

It's like nostalgia is bad unless Nintendo is doing it. Banjo-Kazooie also comes up all the time from the xbots. I wonder if Kotaku also thinks it's soulless fellatio for Phil?

Every PlayStation exclusive gets met with negativity in the western press and it needs to stop.
Astrobot is getting the FF16, FF7R and Stellar Blade treatment. They don't want it to win GOTY so they are starting early to cast doubt about the game.

Too many minds have been poisoned. People can make a great point, but people have been so tribal they can't look at the content of the argument, only the name of who said it.

Almost every game since 2020 has had a huge campaign of hate from media and ps haters. Before too but its been like a mission since

All the Nintendo and Xbox fanboys on Era are agreeing with this article. Lol
The nintendrones mad that someone else made a 3d platformer approaching mario scores, the xbots mad that they have none of their own and only have hellblade 2 to play this year so far.

Anyways the drones will move on they have Belda reviews to look forward to this coming week.

they have been waiting for an article like this. It was a hard time for them in the last two weeks to watch so many positive threads about Astro.

I don't get why anyone would do that job... Selling out gamers and undermining a more positive future for gaming for what?

They antagonize gamers daily, gaslight them and call them names... It's basically the job of a professional troll.

They can dress it up all they want but it's bottom of the barrell stuff.

Access media thrives on toxic positivity towards publishers and developers, even if it means being toxic against gamers.

All they really care about is being on the side that gives them free tickets to gaming conferences and swag, being invited to parties and gatherings with influential people, exclusive interviews and of course the "good" kind of virtue signaling.
It's not a market that depends on good productivity and quality content that is seen and recognized by millions of people. That's not what gives these people the feeling of having power.

Reads like dude is bored. He embodies the modern audience very well. They know all and actually know nothing
Modern audience has tik tok brains the same as writer. If there nothing stimulates their brains for 5 sec, they are bored, lost focus and tunes out.. no wonder so many people on drugs and shit for mental health.
