$55 million in economic injuries + $60 milliion for emotional distress = a massive amount in damages owed by Gawker

Hopefully, this triggers the end of that disgusting company, and with a bit of luck, it'll take Kotaku and the other garbage subsidiaries of Gawker Media with it.

UPDATE:  Jury has awarded an additional $25 Million in Punitive Damages, for a total of $140 Million.  Maximum amount a bond can be is $50 million, we'll see if they're forced to put that up (in order to appeal they have to fulfill the bond, but the judge can reduce the award/bond amt).

EDIT: Shouldn't 'really' be in gaming, though this verdict will have direct rammifications on Kotaku. I wonder if Stephen Totilo now understands why journalistic ethics are important (laugh).

Nice choice, jury.

This is just so frikkin awesome.

Good decision, Gawker will probably go bankrupt.

I don't get it, what's the problem with kotaku or Stephen Totilo's ethic.

I read Kotaku, they are actually one of the few websites that only put verified rumors, they have a pretty great ethic.

Their note-less reviews are pretty good, and they have a new editorial line where they decided to keep making articles about games that are already released. About the communities etc. 

yes they have weird articles sometimes. But as gaming journalists goes, they are pretty good. I really don't get the hate.

Gawker though, is mainly trash. But there is some interesting website in the group, io9 is good for example.

A piece of shit getting millions of dollars from a bigger piece of shit. Not sure how I feel about this...

So I guess Pain and Suffering is relative to overall status. I know some people who got pain and suffered unlike anything else, but got little to nothing for it. Ah, the justice system. So full of justice. If there's something I'm missing please point it out to me, I don't know much about how this works but, I just wanted to say that.

And kids this is why you don't leak someone else's sex tapes.

Also looking forward to see the fox news of gaming in ashes.

If you're not familiar, you'd have to watch interview between him and TotalBiscuit.  Needless to say, it is my opinion that he belongs nowhere near an editor in chief position, and people should always double check sources before trusting anything Kotaku utters.

If Gawker collapses, at least you can be happy knowing that an editor who thought a sex tape of a 4 year old, was a line he wouldn't cross (yes, he made a joke about child porn on the stand), has likely lost his outlet for spewing garbage into the public sphere. (AJ Daulerio)
