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.
Oh shit, so that’s why I was seeing so many “Kotaku is officially dead” comments a few days ago. You can bet your ass it’ll be as high quality as those no-name bot-farm sites full of “guides” directly copy-pasted off reddit.
