G/O Media and Kotaku staff are locked in a battle for the gaming website’s soul and business

The tale of Kotaku is a classic example of corporate focus on growth vs. journalistic idealism. This time, though, the battleground is one of the most storied publications in gaming media.

Additional coverage:

  • As the digital advertising marketplace gets more crowded, expensive and riddled with data privacy initiatives, performance marketers find themselves at an inflection point.
  • Though they celebrate Amazon Prime’s significant subscriber base and quality programming, buyers cite a lack of flexibility to purchase individual shows as well as somewhat of a slow reaction to buyer requests.
  • With the 2024 U.S. election just seven months away, U.S. officials warn the AI era poses a far bigger threat than the past two decades of social media.
  • AI-related skills are increasingly in demand on freelance platforms like Fiverr and Upwork.
