I would love that excuse for my job. "Hey I know I fucked up and it's 100% my fault but it's the weekend." By that logic they shouldn't have posted such a high profile story on the weekend.because unlike everyone in this thread they weren't working 24 hours a day on a weekend to try to sort this mess out.

Just woke up. Wow, IGN are still noping Sony's nope?

Nothing short of Sony bowing out and praising Xbox as the savior of gaming would be good enough for Gies.Apparently a nope from Sony isn't enough for IGN , Gies and Schreier etc.
If they had the time to change "official" to "may" after Sony told that the game was not canceled, what excuse do they have?
This is a coordinated effort between Sony and IGN to drum up interest before the press conference, I BELIV!

If this was Giant Bomb they would have taken down the story, admit they were wrong, accept a little egg on their face, make a joke and move on. IGN's current staff just doesn't care.

They actually changed the article multiple times, that was not the only verbal change. They changed the title, they posted the update, they couched their language on the front page (three different article header changes there).
Someone was working, and doing a fucked job at it to boot.
I get kinda pissed off when sites like DualShockers build large audiences by posting bullshit E3 lists and publishing articles about everything thuway tweets. But I know that IGN knows better than to sacrifice credibility for one article, so I feel like there must be more to this story.
Exactly what I said at about 2am, lol.
maybe this is the free givaway game, c'mom sounds good.
Again, why doesn't IGN at least apologize for the blunder and try and salvage some credibility and integrity, if they aren't going to pull the article?
If it was Giant Bomb, they would've waited for someone else to run the story.
What page did the official denial happen on?
So are you saying ICO and Shadow are games tons of people bought and played and are talked about by today's gamers? Doubtful.

No, it was some hifi website.Klepek was the first to run the Xbox One DRM removal wasn't he?
You don't think IGN has one guy working on the weekend that can yank an article?It doesn't excuse the error, it explains the relative sluggishness in being able to do in-depth follow-up.
Most of IGN's staff are not working over the weekend, some relevant people in the chain of command might not be reachable, whatever source purportedly told them this (this is the second russian outlet to incorrectly run this story this week) might not be reachable right now. They issued an interim correction to note the current state of affairs, which is that Sony denies the story--not through any formal denial or by reaching out to IGN, but through Twitter in an off-handed remark (which is fine, they don't need to reach out to IGN, but it drives home the level the process is operating at right now) but that they had a source in Russia that told them this. if you're expecting more substantial followup, it's not going to be overnight on a weekend, it'll be when they're able to run through the process again, reach out to the source again, etc.
Is it actually surprising to think that a business would have lower than usual staffing levels on the weekend and that this impacts agility when responding to ongoing events?
So now ign says TLG may be cancelled and reports thqt Scott Rhode said it is not cancelled. Unless their source is yoshida or someone very high up the ladder shouldnt they let go of this already

My tinfoil theory is its because they're still nom nom nom'n on the clicks. If anybody think that this doesn't boosts IGN's traffic, they're kidding themselves. No matter how "big" a site like IGN is, anybody would love the ad revenue that this is receiving right now. People are checking and re-checking the website and IGN is loving every bit of it.
Once the article cools down, I'm sure they'll update it again for some more traffic. It's a gross practice, IMO.
IGN might not get banned on GAF (it should, for E3 atleast) but it's banned on my device now.
It all happened so fast.
This was chicagocubsfan's idea btw. GO AFTER HIM NINJAS
Hmm...
