I hope he finds a way of making videos and outputting content still, I really like his recent stuff
Hope the kotaku crew all find their way out of that awful situation and into a stable new one, maybe even one of their own making?

this seems like the meaty context: "this decision was difficult to make because Kotaku Dot Com is my favorite website. however, when some wig-haired motorola-hip-holster-havin Daddy's Man and his pet TJ Maxx Frankenstein murdered my *second*-favorite website, i couldn't let it slide"
aka deadspin debacle seems to have motivated him to reprioritize

Jason is literally doing the Paul Heyman take me off the air promo.
I just started listening to this guy's stuff. As someone recently getting back into jrpgs after like 20 years he's been invaluable!
Between his Dq11, Octopath, and FF6 stuff he's a real hoot.
Damn. I hope he gets back into commentary. His delivery is so relaxing.

Tim Rogers and Brian David Gilbert are literally the only two gaming people I watch videos from so... that sucks. Best of luck to him though!
It seems to me that Kotaku, unlike video games, is not gonna last forever.
I'm gonna die hungry for my Tim Rogers videos.

Apologies behind 800 work proxies but what is going down with Deadspin?
This is semi related, and I didn't want to start a new thread, but what in ungodly HELL is up with Kotaku's comments? They're one of the biggest gaming sites going, but have zero comments on most articles because they're buried under 200 click bait ads!
iirc, parent company threatened Deadspin's staff to stick to sports and keep politics out of their reporting. Led to a mass exodus of people leaving. Company never backed down.
Man, they are jettisoning so much talent from that bundle of sites. It's weird. The owner is just gonna make less money, but he cant stop lighting himself of fire.
I recently cancelled all my Patreons as part of a larger effort to reprioritise my finances but I'll be hecked if Tim doesn't make me change my mind.
Damn, really looking forward to whatever else he does in the future. I would love more videos in the same style, but a podcast would be great too, also #TRUCKHECK.
Every once in a while he'll drop something like "I need to live some more stories" - see also the end of the Undertale segment in his Game of the Decade video, which got me a little emotional while reflecting on similar feelings about the game - and I just kind of stop for a second and go "yeah, this guy seems pretty alright."
Best of luck, man.
Their comment system is absolutely atrocious. Super slow to load, often crashes pages, buried under ads, you need to click multiple buttons for every story to see all the comment threads, you can only edit for 15 minutes, media links break half the time...horrific.
Just repeatedly watch his Red Dead Redemption story recap video like I do.
Jim Spanfeller and terrible management.

Inserting threadmark here about Jim Spanfeller's predatory practices. Nightmare of an owner, and his approach to media is a death sentence for good work.
