I learned that you don't mess with Frank Anderson.

Patrick is the closest to someone we can call a journalist in the video game industry.

Also helps that they rarely run news stories on smaller rumors.

The downside of being liked is that you don't get GAF threads about you!

Patrick, if you're reading this, do a feature article on game developers in the Middle East.

Holy shit, I remember Prism from back when I wasn't banned from LL.

Doesn't seem like the quality of his journalism seems to be any better than what the quality of his posts were, though at least he manned up to this and I'll definitely give him props for that (because it's not every day that a games journalist is going to admit he's wrong).

Aside from that... it's such a pity that this was a fake, 'cause I would've bought a Vita at $250 for GTA, MHP3, and Gravity Rush.

Three Giant Bomb threads not enough?

Remember when Brian Crecente lashed out at CheapAssGamer when he posted false news he sourced from the CAG forums?

The craziest part is Brian's quote:



I just remembered this. Maybe Jason was following the site's protocol. That doesn't excuse the lashing out, but it might explain the decision to post the story.

You missed the part where he goes on to say that a forum poster with one post (the actual source for the CAG rumour) is no less legitimate than a trusted website. He actually says that.
