Gamer sites/blogs are a lot like gamers themselves. They like to trash talk, they like to have fun, sometimes they take it too far, and sometimes they take things too seriously. Oh, how many roleplaying sessions I've been at were things are all fun and games and then suddenly someone feels their honor has been besmirched. Next think you know, 12-sided dice are being flung at faces and 2-liter Coke bottles are being wielded like clubs.
So I am quite amused by the Kotaku/Destructoid tiff. The details are better handled by going to those sites (and Faith Naked's blog). The main thing that I find entertaining is Kotaku's full support fr the boycott, even if they are doing it tongue firmly in cheek.
