== Summary ==
''Kotaku'' articles written from 2023 onwards are generally unreliable as the site has used [[content farm]]s and [[AI]]-generated content in a non-transparent manner. In March 2025, Kotaku Australia's domain was usurped by the unaffiliated Kotaku Times, an AI-generated content mill.[{{cite web|url=https://aftermath.site/kotaku-australia-dead-inside-do-not-enter|last=Plunkett|first=Luke|title=Kotaku.com.au Would Have Been Better Off Dead|website=Aftermath|date=March 17, 2025|accessdate=January 20, 2026}}] ''See also: {{pslink|Kotaku (pre-2023)}}.''
