Earlier today, Brian Crecente from Kotaku announced that he will be leaving the largely gaming-centric website for the possibility of greener pastures.
As noted, Stephen Totilo takes over as the site's new Editor-in-Chief. Totilo takes over the position due to yet another departure from Kotaku. Joel Johnson is also departing Kotaku, leaving the site after nearly a year as the Editor-in-Chief. He will be the new "editor-at-large" for Jalopnik.
Best of luck to all parties involved in their new ventures.
After writing 11,296 stories for Kotaku I find myself at a loss for words as I write this, my last for the site.
I leave both Kotaku and Gawker Media today after more than seven years of features and news, silliness and personal tragedy, contests, parties, reviews and redesigns. I leave the site in good hands, with Stephen Totilo taking over the role of Editor in Chief of Kotaku. I will miss you all: The writers, the readers, the steady rhythm of news, the buzzing of community response.
The time is right, though, for a parting of the ways. I can leave knowing that something I was fortunate enough to see blossom into life will continue to thrive beyond me.(...)
I'm exceedingly proud of what Kotaku, its readers and its writers, have come together to create. That I was witness to it and managed to not mess it up too much, will always be something I cherish.
