Setting aside my views on Kotaku, E3 or press releases in general, I think it's worrysome that publishers "uninvite" outlets they don't like and try to keep them out of their conferences.
Yes I agree. It has nothing to do with Ubisoft punishing so-called click bait sites and everything to do with some research indicating Kotaku isn't a big enough fan of Ubisoft, so they don't get invited.

Believe me, Ubisoft could care less about doing the right thing. All they care about is saturating the market and showing off demos that Bernie Madoff would be proud of.

Oh believe me, I understand that. I'm just pleased that the market has worked to hurt a company I really dislike for once.

Eh, I always thought of Kotaku as one of the better "mainstream" gaming sites. Who else publishes articles written by Prof. Dave?

Prolefeed garbage. If the internet went down you'd see kotaku in grocery store racks in between the celebrity tabloids and those car magazines which feature an obscene amount of scantily clad females drapped over the latest Corvette.

They're pretty much the MSNBC of gaming news.

I stopped reading Kotaku circa 2008 when every other news post was pictures of "gaming cakes".
PLAY KING'S FIELD.

Kotaku is clickbait garbage.

I myself only play Tetris and Columns while wearing a suit and sipping on my London Fog.

But seriously, kotaku exists to gather your internet viewing history and sell it to advertisers. It's buzzfeed with game articles.
