Kotaku has been releasing quality write-ups on FFXVI since launch, and from most of the spaces I have seen them shared, Kotaku has only received hate for sharing many of the same sentiments I have regarding this game.
People are still hanging on to silly gamergate-era hate of Kotaku and get angry just seeing the name, and will go out of their way to argue why anything Kotaku says must be stupid and wrong. It’s wild.
The few times I post a Kotaku article, regardless of what it’s about, far too many folks just completely lose it screaming “click bait!” or completely blow off any points they might be making.
I was talking with a friend of mine who played the whole game last night, and they completely agreed with the idea that FF16 really had issues with how they handled slavery.
But oh wait, I forgot I can’t have an opinion because I didn’t play the game myself, as someone in here told me.
And people have said it to me too, but move the goalpost to requiring completion to critique. I stopped playing because it wasn't enjoyable for me, and trust that I would hate it more if I had to deal with it longer than I did.
