There is no clear consensus on the reliability of ''Kotaku'' prior to 2023 with regards to topics on video games. Editors seem to agree that the site's editorial standards strengthened slightly in 2010, but then deteriorated in the years leading up to 2023. The site's blog posts should be handled with [[WP:RSOPINION]]. ''See also: {{pslink|Kotaku (2023–present)}}.''
