I mean, Kotaku didnt have the best journalistic integrity track record to begin with, and the EIC approves their articles, so...

50 guides a week sounds ridiculous, but I wouldn't be surprised if Kotaku authors were already doing this.

EDIT:

Glennon also announced her resignation on Twitter, writing, “I've resigned from Kotaku and Jim Spanfeller is an herb.”

Also, maybe don't immediately publicly disparage your boss after resigning because they made a choice you didnt agree with?

Jim Spanfeller is an herb

What does this even mean? And shouldn't it be a herb? (Not trying to correct you on it, I know you're just quoting, but I can't figure out how or why you would say an herb.)

In the US pronunciation the "h" is silent in "herb" so "an" is used as the following sound is a vowel. "an herb" in US English is correct

Ahh, that would do it! I don't know if I've ever actually heard an American person say "herb" so I just assumed the "h" was pronounced like it is everywhere else! Thanks!
