Press Sneak Out

After eight years and some change, I am leaving Kotaku. Friday will be my last day working for this website. I will miss you all.

After eight years and some change, I am leaving Kotaku. Friday will be my last day working for this website. I will miss you all.

Truth is, I've decided to leave the media and pursue my life's calling: becoming a full-time saxophone player. Kidding. I'm staying in journalism, where I will continue to report on the weird, wild industry and culture of video games. I plan to take a few weeks off to put the final touches on my second book and hang out with my seven-month-old, and then I'll be doing brand new things at a brand new outlet. If you'd like to reach out or share a story, you can find me on Twitter or email me any time.

[Strings]

Wish you all the best Jason!

 

[Lant_War]

NOOOOO REST IN PIECE SWEET PRINCE

 

[Fanto]

I wish him the best of luck in the future.

 

[Jessie]

This is extremely good news. Jason deserved so much better than them.

 

[SolidSnakeUS]

Hope you land some place good, Jason. You deserve the bit of rest and some time with your kid. Should be fun wherever you go :).

 

[Manu]

Finally.

 

[QisTopTier]

Finally, I'm gonna assume a contract was holding him hostage.

Jim Spanfeller is an herb

 

[bluexy]

Jason's great and he's going to make wherever he goes better.

 

[Dreams-Visions]

good.

 

[reconceptualize]

jschreier, best of luck man. Looking forward to your next book and whatever outlet is lucky enough to hire you.

 

[FernandoRocker]

Finally. He is just too good for Kotaku. He should definitely run his own website/brand. I mean, he has the reach and ponential to run his own brand.

[Perfect Chaos]

Best of luck, Jason. You'll be great anywhere!

 

[SunBroDave]

 

[Rommaz]

End of an era. No doubt he'll thrive wherever he goes

 

[Indy in the Fridge]

Kotaku RIP.

 

[Weebos]

It was a long time coming, surprised to see him on Max Fun though, that's awesome.

 

[Wireframe]

And there it is. Schreier was pretty much the only reason I still visited Kotaku.

 

[Neoxon]

And thus the last reason to care about Kotaku is gone.

Here's to the best in your future endeavors, Jason.

 

[Strike]

He does great work. Best of luck to him.

 

[jaekeem]

congrats!

 

[Serene]

Good. Fuck G/O Media. Feel bad for the rest of the people stuck there, but glad Jason has the opportunity to do his own thing.

 

[Ertai]

Good luck Jason! Looking forward to your podcast.

 

[BrucCLea13k87]

I'll follow Press Sneak Fuck anywhere he goes. He needs to start a newsletter or blog RIGHT NOW, at least.

 

[Xavi]

There's literally 0 reason for me to visit Kotaku now

 

[DNAbro]

Huge blow to Kotaku as a site.

 

[LiK]

RIP Kotaku

 

[CloseTalker]

Super curious to see which site got him. That's an absolutely crushing blow for Kotaku

 

[Vic Damone Jr.]

What's the new book about?

 

[psynergyadept]

Jason Schreier was listed for PC....

Best of luck on your future endeavors!!!!

 

[metsallica]

Who poached him?

 

[Deleted member 4970]

Everyone at Kotaku deserves better and I'll gladly follow Jason and company wherever they go as I have already done with Tim Rogers

 

[metsallica]

What's the new book about?

Sequel to last book. Don't think we know the games yet.

 

[MegaXZero]

Damn. Great for him but Kotaku just lost one of the best gaming journalists in the industry.

 

[DeathyG]

Interesting to see where he lands. With his resume he can get a job just about anywhere.

 

[Imitatio]

RIP Kotaku.

 

[RoKKeR]

Truly the end of an era.

 

[QuigleyMcShine]

Looking forward to his new book.

 

[MilkBeard]

Best of luck. Better to drop the baggage that is Kotaku and break out with something new.

 

[Dreams-Visions]

hey Kotaku.








RIP.

 

[dmr87]

..And then, Kotaku faded into nothingness...

Excited to see where Jason ends up.

 

[TheGhost]

Surprised he stayed as long as he did with everything going on there.

Wonder where he will land.

At this point, I was only visiting the site primarily for his coverage.
