Fuel On The Fire

September 27th, 2008

What’s wrong with this headline: “Bungie: Game companies should pocket money from used sales“?  Answer: Bungie never said it.  Rather, an audio director at the company, giving his personal opinion, provided that argument.  The headline is wrong and is likely to start a flamewar over Bungie’s involvement.

Needless to say, inflammatory, inaccurate quotes aren’t a good idea.

    What a terrible piece of pseudojournalism.

    Well, let’s not overreact here… it’s not the best of moves, but I’m not sure it’s the Fall of Western Civilization either.

    Of course not, and I didn’t say it was. But it’s an asinine, inaccurate headline.
