Oh wow at the update on the article from Kotaku
Father_Brain take your bow you've been named in a Kotaku article
Actually, I'm asking you to prove the accusations you're making in this thread. You are accusing me (and other reporters) of posting incorrect information, but your evidence appears to be based on nothing but assumptions. If you want to continue throwing around tired "lol game journalism" insults instead of, you know, actually backing up your claims, be my guest.
Meanwhile, as I said before, if anybody has something conclusive showing that these listings have been photoshopped, please let me know here or via e-mail (jason@kotaku.com). I will of course continue to look into this on my own, but I always appreciate hearing more info.
Oh wow at the update on the article from Kotaku
Your post cited Eurogamer's "tipster" as a source. I posted proof above from their comments section that there wasn't a tipster - it was at best a third-hand, circulated image, and none of the people involved in its circulation claim to have seen the supposed listings in the first place. If you don't think that's cause for an edit and are insisting on some kind of smoking gun proving beyond a doubt that it was Photoshopped, I don't really know what else to say.
How utterly embarrassingly unprofessional, Jason. It's lucky you're at a place beset by a constant stream of illegitimate complaints and internet whiners. Your job is likely safe because your superiors likely won't care to sift through the garbage complaints and see this very real instance of shoddy workmanship and borderline plagiarism on your part.
Know that nearly any reputable site or news source would have you packing your things by now. You should be counting your lucky stars and just stop attempting to hold unpaid forum posters to standards that you've just proven to be wholly incapable of upholding.
It's not their job to fact check. It is yours, and yours alone. It's not Ignis Fatuus or Father_Brain's name on the byline. It's yours. Your actual name, by the way, Jason Schreier.
Which will likely pop up on Google for future employers who now know you're lazy, unethical and willing to lash out at a likely consumer base because you've failed to do the bare minimum of your job.
this is the greatest accomplishment of my life
Although we have not been able to verify that the image is fake,
(I read through the Eurogamer comments before running it.)

And you can't prove it is real.
I'm glad I did some research and didn't pick up this news. Yay me!

This should be Shreier's Neogaf tag, but it might stretch the forum (a bit).
shorten it to just: failed to do the bare minimum of his job
I have updated my story accordingly.
or "Real until proven fake" Linking to wendi's post.
I would be satisfied with that.
Shouldn't you contact Play.com to check your facts rather than reading through a competitors comment section? I don't know, maybe, do some actual journalism for a change.

As others have already said, that doesn't remotely justify adopting a "real until proven fake" policy for an easily-faked image. Hooray for "journalism."Thanks! Please note that the comments you pointed out were not posted until after we ran our story this morning.

How do websites like these make money again? There's your answer. Integrity is internet speak for "poor" or "unemployed". If a sniff of news is considered breaking, they don't give fuck, they're too busy posting for the clicks.
It's a tough job the news business. If your peers are doing it, why not half-ass and call it a day?

Sony is going to announce a GTA game and the english localization of Tales of Innocence R in a SCEJ webcast.
Good thinking EDGE
Oh wow at the update on the article from Kotaku
Father_Brain take your bow you've been named in a Kotaku article
And people wonder why Kotaku is a banned site here? THAT'S WHY!
this happens all the time is every single form of journalism
In that case we would now be praising Kotaku for not running the story.The problem was that Play may not have confirmed the image was real. Which would have meant Eurogamer would have the story up but Kotaku wouldn't.
By the way the guy who wrote the Eurogamer article was also responsible for this classic, amongst others.
Spot on.
In that case we would now be praising Kotaku for not running the story.
Now I understand why Kotaku is banned here.
Was it ever banned? I remember Joystiq was a few years ago.
Now I understand why Kotaku is banned here.
Edit: so beaten
