We removed the demo & regret failing to do so at the start. We got this wrong. Our demos come w a standard set of content, some are action games w violence. These shouldn't have been present, especially in light of recent events & out of respect for the victims & their families.

Let me rewrite this tweet from Jason.
1/ Deadspin writers are immensely talented and have a huge following. They have a lot of goodwill at present and as a result they should Marshall their collective resources and start a new publication. Let’s call it SpunOut.
This is so wrong it’s laughable. I started Silicon Alley Reporter for $1,800 & grew it to $12m a year... & that was in PRINT!!!
10 writers doing 2 posts a day while having a side hustle for 1 year builds a million dollar brand
