Who? And who? The page looks broken and doesn't load properly for me. I'm calling bullshit on it though. Either falsified or a joke, it doesn't look particularly convincing at all.

I put the link in the OP.

Or... y'know, they're linking to the Kotaku review because they don't review video games, making a joke, and riling up some reactionary dudes all at once?

Hahaha, honestly, I can't believe that worked.

Also, No Man's Sky. I am no man. My sky now.

EDIT: A straight link for those who need it. http://jezebel.com/why-isnt-it-called-no-womans-sky-1785411230
Why do you think it's a joke? They've reviewed games in the past (like Gone Home)

Have they? After looking quickly at their tags, I can't find any other reviews.

And it reads like something not to be taken seriously, the main point of it seems to be to link to the Kotaku review for more hits to that, the comments are hilarious - seems like a joke to me.

Even if it wasn't, so what? Is someone not liking a title not allowed now? Is it worth getting offended over?

My opinion is that you've been successfully baited with a click bait thread, and have shared it with us.

Well played, Jezebel.

If they were really offended by it do you think they would have included a link to a review from their "sister site"?

So, basically the site continues to have nothing of value to say? Is anyone surprised? Whether it's bait or a serious piece, it's still basically Jezebel advertising how little relevance it has.
