'Major Announcement' Tomorrow from Kirk Hamilton, Maddy Myers and Jason Schreier
- Thread starter Breqesk
- Start date
Considering this tweet:
I can understand if Jason will kickstart his own thing. He's also a well-known face in the industry, seems to be on top of his game regarding insider information and I really liked his book as well. He'd be able to carry his own gaming journalist website, considering at times it feels like he's carrying Kotaku. I thought Kirk Hamilton left the industry to pursue his dreams in music though. Is he back? Or did I miss something?

Kirk is still very much on the Splitscreen podcast and also has his own patreon podcast, Strong Songs, which I really enjoy.
Maddy is very good, Jason is goat. Kotaku has lost everything that made it worthwhile. Spanfeller is going have to watch that ship sink. It's all due to his "I am rich, therefore I am smart"-attitude
If they are going to be doing their own thing I would like to read Kirk's writing again, he was always one of my favorites at Kotaku when he was writing. I will say that if they do splinter into their own thing it might be harder for Jason to do his usual investigations just due the lawyering some of those pieces involve. Since it's just the Splitscreen crew maybe a simpler answer such as doing the show likv on Twitch or other video related thing.
This is a good point. Could definitely see some companies in the industry considering it open season as a result. I would prefer them to splinter off, but being part of a broader media company does offer that extra layer of protection.
Huh, there's no new episode in my Splitscreen feed like there usually is every Thursday morning. Wonder why...
No journalist should have the power to delay a video game. I don't get how people give them a pass
Is Schreier starting his own website really big news? I mean good for him if that's what it is, but what would that practically mean for any of us?
I disagree. The site is terrible, and the vast majority of articles written for it are low effort garbage. This isn't a five year old child's refrigerator door. People are not entitled to have their work respected simply because they made it.
Very interested, these guys are great. If it's a Patreon though... it's a hell of a time to start one, I guess.
Ever since the Deadspin debacle I was honestly expecting Jason to form something new on his own. I'm assuming that's what this is.
What are the big games that could be delayed?
Cyberpunk and The Last of Us have been there and done that.
Zelda never had a date.
What else is coming?

I will only accept this if they hire Luke Smith and he has a column every week ripping on Nintendo and fellating Halo.
I think Cyberpunk is hitting its date. Who knows about Last of Us. I'm sure Zelda was always on track for next year with the anniversary of the franchise.
Drew and Jason bitching about losing money betting on the Jets.
I miss those days. Garnett, Shane, Luke and John. For me that was the golden era of game podcasts.
I'll follow them wherever they go. I love Jason and Kirk, and Madi continues to grow on me more and more in time (I'm just not a big sarcasm person, so it's taken time for me to warm up to her style of humor).
If they start a Patreon, I'll contribute financially as well. I know Patreon has worked extremely well for ex-Kotakuite Tim Rogers.

Hey, I don't wanna go to work today.
I wanna stay home and play all my video games.
