    From the article…

    she today announced her resignation on X, saying: “Some personal news! I’ve resigned from Kotaku and Jim Spanfeller is an herb.”

    That was oddly specific. :p

    Also from the article…

    The latter comment is a reference to a long-running insult aimed at G/O Media CEO Jim Spanfeller, as detailed in a Slate article from 2019.

    Aftermath also reports that Kotaku’s remaining staff is now expected to write 50 guides a week for the site, and that its front page section previously dedicated to breaking and major news stories is now dedicated to tips and guides.
