Kotaku is spoiling Tears of The Kingdom out of spite
It's preview day for Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, a huge game I would love for Kotaku to be able to inform its millions of readers about first-hand.
Unfortunately Nintendo still has it blacklisted from advanced coverage, a move I would argue is both unprofessional and coercive. pic.twitter.com/j2YyGH0kNn

Of course losers gamers are saying it's because Kotaku had a few satirical articles that Link was gay or something, but in reality, Kotaku was telling people how to pirate Nintendo games, as recently as Metroid Dread's release last year.
Nintendo, the legendary publisher, that is probably fighting Local Man in a Punch-Out!! boxing ring right now for letting his site host their movie for 9 hours, is notoriously picky about its properties. Notice how we have 900 Sonic fangames and outright remakes, and 0 Mario ones.
So now, they're just writing about what they learned from leaks. Point blank. If you're not invited to the dance, throw a molotov at the venue, I guess. The same dude who wrote that tweet wrote the article, which I will link to here. I read it, didn't understand shit bc I've only played BOTW, so it didn't mean a lot to me, but it may mean more to you, don't click!.
Tears of the Kingdom comes out next week, but has already leaked on piracy sites. If you know where to look, you can probably find it.
