Honestly, hiding it does more harm than releasing it. It's just going to confirm stuff we already know: it's a bad idea to switch candidates 100 days before an election, and we should have focused more on indie media than legacy media.

indie games would be a lot better, like a whole letter grade better, if they focused on making their characters animal people, and not chickening out about making the playable characters animal people too

The biggest difference between indie games and AAA games is that a AAA game is always 100% laser focused on profit above all else, while indie game devs often just want to make a game that is good or experience that is unique.

Kotaku reverted to its old CMS and with that restored a bunch of old news articles, including what I think was the first one of my career on a major website not focused on indie games. I remember running around the building yelling excitedly at people. That's almost 15 years ago.
