History
Kotaku was first launched in October 2004,[1] and since then, the site has launched several country-specific sites for Australia, Japan, Brazil and the UK. Previous contributors to the site include Luke Smith.[2] The site has made CNET's "Blog 100" list[3] and was ranked 50th on PC Magazine s "Top 100 Classic Web Sites" list.[4] In 2007, attorney Jack Thompson sued Gawker Media over concerns that Kotaku declined to remove threatening user comments,[5] but the lawsuit was dismissed the next day.[6] That same year, Kotaku ran a story about rumored upcoming features on the PlayStation 3 and Sony responded by temporarily blacklisting the website.[7]
In 2009, Business Insider reported that Hearst Corporation sought to buy Kotaku from Gawker Media.[8] In 2010, Kotaku criticized a Japanese magazine's glowing endorsement of a Konami game as a conflict of interest; Konami subsequently revoked Kotaku's invitation to the game's launch party.[9] In 2013, Forbes criticized Kotaku over what they called an inflammatory headline in a story about Hideki Kamiya; Kotaku rewrote the headline.[10] Kotaku is headed by Stephen Totilo, who took over after founder Brian Crecente left in 2012.[11]
