Tags: Shadow VaultSpeaking of the below news item as well as the recently posted interview we have here. It looks like GamersHell has decided that rather than write interviews on their own, they've decided to cut and paste interviews from other sites and call it theirs. Check out this interview on their site about ShadowVault. Getting deja vu?
You should? The rat bastards over there have basically ripped questions and answers, word for word, from my interview as well as from Jucaushii's interview. So, I decided to email the editors there with this:
Editors,
Just what the hell is the idea with posting an interview which is a cut and paste job on your site with clips from interviews on Jucaushii.ro and my site? Your "interview" is nothing more than things taken word for word from those two interviews. Take a good, long, hard look at the one on your site, then check out these two links:

http://www.rpgcodex.com/content.php?id=70
Your question about the combat in the game is verbatim what I asked in my question, which is labelled #8 for ease of reference, followed by the answer to that question as well as the answer to other questions on both the sites.
This kind of happy horseshit doesn't fly well with me, kids. Cutting and pasting from a couple of sites and calling it your own isn't kosher.
I await an answer.
As Deathy put it, Internet gaming journalism at it's best.
