"Aftermath: Former Kotaku Staffers Take Ownership with Independent Video Game Website"

Former Kotaku writers have launched a new independent video game and culture website called Aftermath. The worker-owned media company aims to deliver breaking news, criticism, analysis, and editorial content. Aftermath will operate on a subscription-based model, offering access to articles and bonus podcast episodes. The founders hope to create a stable and empowering environment for both writers and readers, free from the ad-driven model and corporate ownership prevalent in the industry. They also plan to expand their team in the future.
