Nintendo BLACKLISTED Kotaku

Kotaku’s latest episode of self-embarassment was first sparked on April 26th when staff writer Ethan Gach took to his personal Twitter account to bemoan the fact that the outlet was not provided a review copy of the highly-anticipated The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom.

“It’s preview day for Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, a huge game I would love for Kotaku to be able to inform its millions of readers about first-hand,” whined Gach. “Unfortunately Nintendo still has it blacklisted from advanced coverage, a move I would argue is both unprofessional and coercive.”

Yet, what Gach notably failed to mention in his attempt at righteous indignation is the fact that Kotaku’s blacklisting was nobody’s fault but their own.

While the exact cause of Nintendo’s disdain for Kotaku has yet to publicly detailed, a passing glance of their archives reveals that the outlet regularly – and more often than not extremely disingenuously – accuses any and all publishers of any number of sociopolitical transgressions.

In terms of Nintendo, with a history of such hits as ‘Super Smash Bros. Ultimate’s Persona 5 DLC Includes a Disability Slur‘ (an absolutely absurd accusation) and ‘Metroid Dread Is Already Running Great On Switch Emulators‘ (which was published the day after the game released), it’s not hard to see why the esteemed Japanese publisher would view working with Kotaku as ‘bad business.’

Thanks for watching this video gamer!
