Owner of Destructoid, The Escapist, Siliconera, and others Fires Writers and Hires for “AI Editor” to Churn Out Hundreds of Articles Per Week

I’m least worried about The Escapist, as the editor-in-chief for the past few years Nick Caldera is running it with integrity. It is the only game news site I am happy to pay a subscription to.

How does that matter if the owners just fired all the writers and replaced them with an AI? I see little to no integrity at a publication owned by some big group calling shots like this. These are Nick’s bosses, so uhhh… he either listens or quits.
