a site that reviews games and blah blah blah gossips about any video game development secrets or news needs to BEHAVE and treat the developers well if they expect to be in the know-how and have the connectoin
Kotaku is unreliable and posts stupid click-bait articles constantly. I also think they may have a history of letting leaks out early without permission. in the end the only reason a Ubisoft or Bethesda (pretty large publishers) would refuse to give them early access copies of their games or interviews is because they don't respect or appreciate the site
if you're a video game journalism website for profit and expect to get the big publishers to work with you then you have to basically play their game in terms of being very careful about the articles you place and what you disclose of private information. in the end a site like that is way more reliant on these companies than these companies are on them
based on Kotaku's history of pissing off certain developers and now their balls to bitch about it this doesn't surprise me. it just comes off as childish to post an article whining about not having the ins and outs with these particular developers, and I think it says a lot that its more than one (especially Sony!)
its like, wah wah wah developers don't want to work with us because we aren't reliable are trustworthy with our news articles. what a joke
