"Variety Gaming" was just Crecente and his moronic game journo freelancers, all familiar faces from the vidya journalism cesspool. It lasted a little over a year.
But in its short existence, Variety Gaming left a mark. If it weren't for the Rethuglicans, this intrepid piece of reportage would have sunk the Kavanaugh nomination: The Connection Between the Brett Kavanaugh Hearings and Gamergate
No word on why Variety pulled the plug. Maybe they didn't realize how lowbrow gaming culture still is, and were afraid the rest of Hollywood was laughing at them for running articles about Dragonball Z next to the usual Variety fare about the Tony Awards etc. Or they realized how little value the founder of Kotaku brings to a publication. Defending game journos from the evil trolls is one thing. Having to actually work with and pay that garbage a salary is another. |
