Brian Crecente quits Kotaku

Kotaku editor Brian Crecente has confirmed he's to leave the site. Crecente had been with the US blog for seven years, and makes no mention of what he's to do next. Stephen Totilo, previously of MTV and Kotaku's deputy editor, will assume the role of editor-in-chief. Crecente is the latest in a string of senior US games journalists to move on, following resignations from Joystiq's Chris Grant and McElroy brothers – Griffin and Justin - over the Christmas break. The three are rumoured to be setting up a new "gaming vertical" for Vox.

Founder & Publisher (Former)

Patrick Garratt is a games media legend - and not just by reputation. He was named as such in the UK's 'Games Media Awards', the equivalent of a lifetime achievement award. After garnering experience on countless gaming magazines, he joined Eurogamer and later split from that brand to create VG247, putting the site on the map with fast, 24-hour a day coverage, and assembling the site's earliest editorial teams. He retired from VG247, and the games industry, in 2017.
