At the time, parent's comment simply read:
> Not to mention the complete lack of journalistic ethics on Kotaku. They frequently post articles about games they have financial or personal ties to, without disclosure.
You assert that this is a "valid point", but I believe a better characterization would be that it is an extremely broad, unsourced claim.
- Zikes 11y agoAt the time, I felt that the sources were unnecessary. In many of the communities I am involved in those sources are frequently posted and discussed, and a statement such as the one I made is able to stand on its own. Posting sources would have felt like an attempt to hijack the discussion to steer it towards a specific industry's problems, rather than focusing on Gawker and Kotaku's association with the parent article's reported moral failings. Given the amount of discussion following my comment I can see that the topic is important or interesting enough to merit posting the sources, however I am currently away from my personal computer where I have access to the communities and resources to be able to provide those sources. If you are truly interested in the subject, later this evening I will post another reply to this comment with sources and articles.
