What's interesting though, that in this new media landscape, none of this can be hidden in the backhalls of offices anymore. PR agencies can try all they like, but its usually the passionate players on both ends that turn to the general public to decide who is right, or wrong, in the matter at hand. This is what happened this week in the very public fight between Eurogamer and the developers of new MMO Darkfall."
It's important in life to maintain a broad palette when it comes to culture and the arts. Hideo Kojima agrees, as he continues to use video games like Death Stranding to introduce people to music and other elements they might not otherwise discover.
Mojang has partnered with Merlin Entertainments to build the world's first Minecraft theme park in the UK.
A three-episode live-action adaptation of the first two Yakuza video games will debut Tuesday, March 17 exclusively IGN. Each episode is about an hour long and will stream on IGN.com and IGN’s YouTube channel.
Great editorial man. Really interesting read. Arguments shouldnt be taken to the public, thats even more opinions to conflict.
I had no idea that this occurred. This issue seems like it should have been handled more subtly by those involved.
This is pretty awful.
First off, giving someone with little to no MMO/Journalistic experience the job of reviewing an MMO (which requires weeks of research), is poor on the Editor's parts.
Second, refusing to retract it, even though they played so little, and whined for help in-game is a pretty sleazy move.
I even recieved a beta key but I couldn't open it for some reason. I was going to give it away to one of my clan members but the message was deleted from my inbox. facepalm :(
I find the game quite awful , despite a few good ideas for an hardcore mmo .
However it didnt deserves such a fake and biased review .
Eurogamers is quite dubious in that affair .. they deny everything , refuse to take the review off , yet they propose a new one ?
How is that a compromise and why should it matter ? Either you are right and stick with your claims , or you are wrong and fix it ...
