Alyssa Mercante FIRED from Kotaku?! Her Career’s Over—More Layoffs!

Today, Alyssa Mercante announced that she is no longer the Senior Editor at Kotaku, just as Kotaku is dealing with major layoffs and restructuring. Coincidence? Maybe. But her sudden departure from such a high-profile role definitely raises some eyebrows.

While Kotaku’s cutting jobs left and right, it looks like Alyssa might be jumping ship at just the right moment. And, rumor has it, she's possibly lining up a new position at Sweet Baby Inc. or Compulsion Games—two companies she's been passionately defending with some questionable journalistic ethics.

Considering her track record of unprofessionalism, biased takes, and Twitter meltdowns, this move could be just as turbulent as her time at Kotaku. If she thought the criticism was intense before, wait until she's working directly with the companies she’s been running PR defense for on the side. The backlash will be like a firestorm, and if Alyssa’s history of handling criticism is any indication, we’re in for quite a show.

It’s the kind of content gold you can’t make up—so grab your popcorn, because the story's only getting started!
