Hahahahhahaaa :lol: What a bunch of fucking retards! What in hell were they thinking?! This is teh internet! Of course people are going to find out! And it's so blindingly obvious that once some info gets out into the web it's NOT going to dissapear. Are they living in the 1980's ?

I can not comprehend them. Are they really this stupid?

Shitty movies, books, and apparently games have always selectively chosen misleading quotes from the critics. I don't think I ever saw somebody just make up fake scores though. Congrats, Eidos.

That's the thing. Nothing is going to change. There's no way for gamers to unify and make the industry do anything they dont want to do. Usually that moral outrage for change comes from ... the press. But they're the problem in this case.

With all this questionable journalism going around, and the advent of blogging, all one needs is a website with enough traffic to have an affect on the situation. We don't need the entire news media to be heard, just publisher/journalism forums, blogs, youtube, mass email, and some insight.

I can see what you're saying though, it's just that we do have a little more authority than ever before. The internet gives more control to the people and removes control from the pesky publishing douche bags. We should stick it to the man! ;P
