Good news everyone. Kotaku, along with Vice, Gizmodo, Lifehacker, and Refinery29, are shutting down in Australia!

EDIT: Alyssa Mercante is having a meltdown, and the rage is beautiful.

First Australia, then the world I guess. But seriously, I can't wait until Mark Kern stops being a thing again, I miss when he was just a random scammer not releasing or doing shit. Fucker owes me for Firefall still.

Alyssa Mercante's pet cucks Nick Calandra and John Phipps are really going after 8-Bit Eric for ranting a video about them and how much they're a bunch of bullies defending Alyssa Mercante. John Phipps is even harassing his business partner that thinks harassing his work will get him fired. At least he saved the receipts.

And then there's Jake Thompson, the "lawyer" that Nick Calandra and John Phipps had to cry to, because 8-Bit Eric is making videos about them and how much they're bullies and cuckolds.

Alyssa Mercante is already saying that Kotaku Australia wasn't affiliated with Kotaku despite being named "Kotaku AU". She's doing the equivalent of "Well that wasn't REAL communism". Gotta love the smell of cope in the morning.

It's amazing how everything about Mercunte from every word that comes out of her whore mouth to her facial expressions are completely and utter insufferable. She's never even had one of those "worst person you know just made a great point" moments.

If this is true, why on earth did they do it that way?
Was Kotaku AU only backing things up because it was a licensor?

It sounds like the parent group deleted it (because it's generally worthless) and Kotaku AU didn't delete it (because it's garbage but it's garbage they paid money to license).

Now that they're throwing out the license - they're probably not allowed to keep/host the content. Good on them for realizing that branding as "Kotaku" was only hurting them in the long run.
 
This bit is interesting
Pedestrian Group CEO Matt Rowley revealed the licensing deals were scrapped because it faced “financial headwinds.”

He added, “Given these factors, we’ve made the tough decision to focus on our wholly owned Pedestrian brands where we control the strategy, the content, the product, the sales and the outcome – the entire business. This means that we will transition out of our current brand licences, which will reposition our business for the future,”

The Aussies are basically saying the Kotaku brands are worthless and being poisoned by things they could not control. Aka Mercante.
