I left a place I loved, a place filled with writers and editors I deeply respect, to do this. But I didn’t leave Kotaku to create Kotaku. Why bother? That’s already done. I left to try something new, something exciting and hopefully something that can deliver an experience everyone will love diving into as much as we love creating it.

Subcathoin: The Next Big Thing (Brian Crecente’s Tumblr)

I rarely reblog stuff from game journalists’ personal Tumblr accounts, and I try not to highlight their personal stuff. That’s not the sort of game I like to play. However, I’m highlighting this. Why? Because I am cautiously optimistic about this whole thing.

No, really. I am. I promise. This isn’t a trick, this isn’t an attempt at sarcasm or a bad joke. I genuinely think this could be something good for game journalism.

Others have pointed out that the idea of having so many repeat offenders pooling their efforts in one location potentially makes writing this blog so much easier. They may be right.

However! I choose instead to be positive and optimistic about this. I elect to adopt an air of cautious optimism about the whole thing, that perhaps Vox Games (or whatever it winds up being called) will be a step in the right direction for game journalism.

Or, perhaps it’ll be shit. It could so easily be shit. But I’m going to be positive about this one.
