Good. He deserves better than what I imagine Kotaku is capable of giving him in many ways. Excited to hear where he lands.
Congratulations, Jason!!

Jason Schreier is leaving Kotaku
- Thread starter Kenzodielocke
- Start date
My girlfriend bought me a copy of Blood, Sweat and Pixels and that was when I started to pay more attention to Jason.
Many things have been said about the man but I think we can all agree that he has done some good work and we should all wish him well in his future endeavors.
I'm looking forward to your new book. I hope time with your child will be wonderful and fulfilling. All the best, jschreier

Oh my lord. Is this serious? Are you trolling?Oh, that. Here;

[BBC] In China, Uighurs 'moved into factory forced labour' for foreign brands Apple, Google, Microsoft, Nintendo, Sony
It was recommended that I cross post this from EtcetEra for awareness, particularly as we move towards a new generation of consoles. Letting people make informed decisions about where they're willing to put their money is the best thing anyone can do here. Here's the latest on the various...www.resetera.com
Many posters including I, informed him about the report and there was an empty "promise" or more like a respond. A poster from the thread says that they got a respond from Jason and a month later; zero coverage or mention.
So get this, you are a claimed gaming "journalist". BBC reports that literal slave labour from China's concentration camps provides for gaming giants, Nintendo, Sony, Microsoft and Google. The thread about the report gets pinned on a gaming site you are promoted and a member of. People alert you because, again, you are constantly promoted in the forum, so much so that sounds like you are the only gaming "journalist" that exist. So people trust you to report one of the biggest news and that's why they alert you.
And you... don't... report... slave... labour... from... concentration... camps. Camps that got people killed, organ harvested, tortured, raped and prisoned based on race and religion.
And you don't report.
What would you called that?
Because he doesn't report something he is then now an accomplice? You know how many reports journalist don't do?
What am I reading. My brain hurts.
good for him. also means I have less reason to go to kotaku. almost no reason other than out of habit.
Congrats Jason, I'm sure you will find success in the next chapter of your career.
Just wanted to add that I don't share the sentiment of many here about Kotaku, while I agree Jason was integral to Kotaku there still is a lot of great and talented people there. I hope Jason's departure helps by giving a message and they sort their parent company issues.
Press Sneak F*** Forever

There are still good people working there. Folks should save their RIPs for the day the site actually dies. Posting stuff like that now is an insult to Stephen Totilo and the rest of the staff.
Yeah I agree with this. I worry about the ramifications of the site shutting down for all of its current staff. Realistically Jason's output has been pretty slow especially since his paternity leave started. I am sure the site knows what kind of traffic it can generate without Jason.
G/O didn't kill Deadspin even without a single warm body on-staff, so I'm sure Kotaku isn't in any danger of being shuttered anytime soon. Of course, there are plenty of ways that Spanfeller and company could make life miserable or completely torpedo the brand without shutting down Kotaku.
Excited for what he does next, presumably a site with management that doesn't have an issue with his investigative journalism (it's why Cecilia D'Anastasio left).
To those saying the site is dead y'all really need to read Heather Alexandria's work.

Thank you for your hard work and good luck with the future Jason!
Not many single individuals in this industry can claim to have had an impact on this business as a whole, but like your recent R* article about improved work culture shows, you might have actually helped in making some lives better.

The folks in the last thread were right!!!! He did announce a delay!!!!
"when asked why this was happening a source told Kotaku 'it was Jason'"
Lmao, love him.
Sad to see him leave Kotaku but the writing's been on the wall for a while now. I'm interested to see where he ends up next, whether that's a brand new venture or something else.
There's a subreddit for Jason's new podcast, Triple Click.

1) Thank you for the kind words.
2) Miss me with that "Kotaku is dead" and "no reason to read Kotaku anymore" shit. There are many hard-working, talented people still at Kotaku, and nothing you've ever read from me would be possible without them.

It's had a long history and it's not done yet. Hopefully one day it'll be owned by a company who gives a shit but yeah that's not anyone's fault who works there
1) Good luck on your next career step.
2) Can you address the Uighurs situation? Are you gathering info to write a piece or you can't cover the story for whatever reason?
Very glad to know that my two fav game reporters, Jason Schreier and Takashi Mochizuki, now work at the same place
Genuinely you are the reason many people visited Kotaku. You leaving has a huge gaping hole in folks visiting the site now. Given the way shitvseemed to be going down, you getting out seems like s smart move. Hope some of the rest of the good guys still there manage to land on their feet too.
Jason has always reported on video games as an industry like a (top quality) business reporter would so I think this is a good fit. It'll be interesting to see how his reporting goes with a mainstream news publication rather than enthusiast press. Well done and looking forward to reading your work jschreier
