So I guess Aftermath is the new Kotaku? Theyre hiring all the people that used to work there, and Kotaku didn't exactly have the best reputation lately. I don't see Aftermath's angle where they think things will be better for them.
Aftermath was started by a bunch of people that left or were fired by Kotaku to start with (I don't remember which), so it makes sense they would hire others who came from a similar situation
