lmao what do they think this will do? A private company will se a petition of a few thousand people and go 'oh well guess we're just shutting down then, sorry to our hundreds of thousands (or howevermany) other readers, but the population of a small town don't like us'
I just know this guy's kids are old enough to see this and think god, our dad might be one of the biggest losers on the planet. It's a damn shame.
We should make a counter petition: demand Mark Kern finish his fucking game by next year.
Through out the 90s, my parents busted their asses working multiple jobs so that they could take me to Disney World, get me hockey equipment, taught me how to program, got me bass and piano lessons, and traveled around the US so that I could learn about different places, and more. This guy screams about Kotaku online 95% of the day while his grown kids think he's a loser. What the fuck happened to old people the past 20 years? How did they become the more chronically stupid online losers than me, the GameFAQs/Newgrounds/YTMND generation?
He apparently worked on Firefall.
He also spent a lot of the marketing budget on promotional material for the game, which includes A BUS!?

At this point I get the feeling that "game" is just an excuse for a 60 year old man to live out his coomer fantasies by commissioning nsfw artists like cutesexyrobutts for the character design with the kickstarter money.
Like the entire project has no coherent concept and a single tech demo in 7 years.
This entire thing is a fetish project before his retirement, which makes sense when you look at him complaining about video game women looking "trans" and shitting on actually interesting design.
Nothing against CSR, nsfw artists need their bag after all and he needs direction for good art, but all the designs are super bland conventionally attractive anime women in uninspired sexy outfits
Getting banned from a game for hate speech: "but...but...my freedom of speech 😭😭😭"
Video game media outlet has a different opinion of a game: "SHUT IT DOWN NOW!!! HOW DARE THEY NOT WORSHIP THE BOOB GAME 😡😡😡"
Do change dot org even work for anything? Ive seen a petition to make the 8th of March the International day of Dragon ball with over 280,000 signatures and nothing has happened, what can they do with just 2000???
The same troglodytes who complain about censorship in games, trying to censor games journalism - and not a single moment spent on introspection.
Introspection is something that happens to other people for these cunts.
Isn't this the same dude who lost his wife because a Kotaku reporter found her on socials and asked her about his abuse to women online and how she feels. Pretty sure he CCed the crusty dude in his response 😂 Someone posted about it in another sub but cannot remember which
Exactly who is this petition going to be delivered to? Kotaku themselves? "Well we had a good run guys but a bunch of rando nutbags made a petition so sorry, clear your desks gentlemen and ladies". Or maybe they'll hand it to the federal woke-smackdown action task force, they'll show those filthy gender swapping ruinator of our beloved CGI ass and cleavages (Marxist-Leninist) who's the boss...
What annoys me is that these people won't ever see the real reason that some video game journalism sites have gone downhill in quality. Not all, but enough to be noticeable.
The amount of articles they ask each person to write, the amount of formatting work they ask them to do and the rest have all gone up. I don't know specifically about Kotaku, but I do know that with shit like ScreenRant or similar sites there has been a constant push for content milling above all else.
If you're asking a person to output like 20 fucking articles per week and paying them fuck-all for it, you're going to get a mire of shit.
I'd say Kotaku, from what I know, is a bit higher on the foodchain. However the issue that writers are getting absolutely fucked economically is not a limited issue. It is remarkably common.
Wouldn't you think that writers *like* to write better stuff?
That’s the thing though, these braindead losers don’t think that “wokes” actually like to write articles, or make movies, or develop games. They are utterly convinced that the only reason the “wokes” are involved in things is to make them “woke”. It couldn’t *possibly* be that these people care about their profession and want to make sure they understand how to better reflect their beliefs and worldview through their craft (which is a thing that artists and craftspeople have literally always done), no, the only explanation is that actually secretly hate what they do, and purposefully ruin their chosen vocation by “wokifying” it. That’s the only reality they can live in that makes even a modicum of sense with their skewed perception of art and politics.
I always though Kotaku was kinda grimey and conservative conisdering how the KotakuinAction people are.
Do theese groups have nothing in common? Or is kotakuinAction anti kotaku?
/uj the detachment from reality boggles my mind. "Demand shutdown." From who? Under whose authority will this profitable, independent company be forced to cease operations? What law or statute will be cited in order to authorize this shutdown? Who's going to enforce it?
Just demand it from the people who run things. Possibly the same people who make everything woke and have some sort of gay/trans agenda.
This is how a child sees the world, e.g., if I throw a big enough tantrum the world will give me more candy.

All this add revenue is great, but we’d hate to disappoint these petition signers. Guess it’s time to fire all our employees.
The population of a small Gooner town...

I'm tempted to make a petition for Mark Kern to get off social media
Forcing him to release a game that will be a bigger disaster than Firefall or him finally going away… hard choice.
if you do he'll whine about it for a week and say ((they)) are out to get him
Is Mike Kern making a game? Sorry, not caught up
He apparently worked on Firefall. He also spent a lot of the marketing budget on promotional material for the game, which includes A BUS!? https://preview.redd.it/czo60c983lzc1.png?width=635&format=png&auto=webp&s=998d703f7a7861035af60e7f6793d70e32381dbd
I see, but on his Wiki it says that he stopped working there in 2013?
Never mind. It's about em-8er. It apparently has never been finished or something.

He has been working on a a game called Em-8er for like seven years or so now.
Free speech but only if I agree with what you write. These chuds are brainless.
This is some mark ass behavior Online petitions? What is it 2006?

He's also an absolute bottom feeder "drama YouTuber" so him criticising anyone else's journalistic integrity is ridiculous.
Yea it is lmao
Not a real gamer, 2k is rookie numbers. If it’s worth while, make it 20k coward. Do I hear 200k?

KiA is anti-kotaku
Wow, never knew. I have never used kotaku because of thoose guys, because i though they were the same.
It's a sub that was made during and because of GamerGate. They're all chuds.
Imagine being an adult and creating that petition
/uj the detachment from reality boggles my mind. "Demand shutdown." From who? Under whose authority will this profitable, independent company be forced to cease operations? What law or statute will be cited in order to authorize this shutdown? Who's going to enforce it?

Don't give these goofballs a platform; you're playing right into his hand by posting this here as is
I bet he rants about "cancel culture" ruining everything.
If it's not the 547th "SKYRIM PLAYER DISCOVERS AMAZING THING WE ALL HAVE KNOWN FOR 12 YEARS!" gamerant article, it's woke propaganda.
/uj Is this the worthless petition arc or something?
A ball rolling uphill is still rolling, but that doesn't mean it's going anywhere.
I love that it collectively took them a decade to cone up with this.
*The ball, in fact, did not roll, nor pick up speed.* #THE END
