Calling that lying is kind of pushing it.

i've been begging for over 5 years.
I'm just tired of talking about them. I've never visited their site. The only reason I'm even aware they exist is because the weird obsession some members of GAF have with them. It seems simple enough to me. If you don't like it don't consume their media.
It's exactly what I do with Fox News. My TV has never been on that channel because I know I don't have any confidence in what they are saying.

Not really lying.
I gotta agree with Chris, the fact you feel so strongly about a trivial mistake on a livestream makes Jeremy Conrad seem kind of weird.

Let's not pretend Conrad doesn't have his own pretty clear bias as well.
While I don't think they should be banned, I sort of hope they are just so I don't see threads, many of which not having to do with them specifically, flooded with vile hatred towards them on a consistent basis. Having said that, referring to this as intentionally malicious misinformation is a MASSIVE stretch.
As Editor-in-Chief of a games media site; a.k.a. a "journalist", he should fact check before opening his mouth.
indeed, but GAF gonna GAF.

What a stupid point to make. As soon as Grandma see either consoles Home screens shes going to have a heart attack trying to figure out how to play a movie.
What's even weird/sad is that Chris grant blocked him off twitter after he was corrected. I thought you suppose to say sorry Thx for catching that and then put up a little correction statement on twitter/article

This sounds more like simple ignorance. Dude didn't know. I doubt there was malicious intent here.

I do think they were just ignorant but they compounded it by refusing to admit they were wrong

I found my Raspberry Pi uses this it was great (kinda off topic). More incompetence though from Polygon, not too surprised.
People calling for a Polygon ban should be cautious what they wish for. Without them, there would be nothing to riot over. It was said in error.
Or who knows, maybe Microsoft paid them millions and millions of US money dollars to spread this sick filth about remote support. That must be it!

It does. I've been telling people it does. That's exactly how I'm controlling it with my harmony remote. It's not ideal, but it works.
this is the stupidest comparison ever. Grandma wouldn't want to use either of these confusing things to watch a movie.polygon said:

Exactly. What an effing nerd, attacking someone for being misinformed over remote control support on a video game console. People need some perspective in their lives. This is entertainment, not life and death. Goddamn.

The guy was being a creep. He typed LYING in all caps.
I probably would have blocked him too.

Yeah, OP, you come across as a bit of an unstable uber-nerd here. Besides, using CEC from my Vizio to my PS3 doesn't work. It's constantly sending double inputs making it largely unusable.
No, but it apparently supports Harmony remotes.

I equate blocking someone on twitter to throwing a tempter tantrum as a child. Easy way out.

This. I dislike some Polygon personnel, but this is a little too far.

Seriously, who cares about some silly clowns who can't write a damn and whether they like one plastic box over another plastic box? They're already doomed to irrelevance whether or not they're biased; even if they weren't slobbering over Microsoft's new toy they'd still be saying nothing of fucking worth.
So can we please move on from the goddamn same refrain of bias bias bias and just ignore their stupid drivel already?

I wonder if it's Polygons internal culture or hiring policy that results in their writing staff being insufferable pricks.
Holy shit! I even use this at home.

Perhaps definitive statements should not be made if there is ignorance involved? Maybe he should do his job and do some proper research, or I dunno, maybe ask Sony if it is compatible with those remotes? Just a thought.

Plenty of media outlets make mistakes like this and have done hundreds of times on their various podcats. There is no intent to misinform here, it's just lack of knowledge or clarity. I admit that's not great either, but there's a world of difference between that and lies.
This has become a witch hunt on Polygon.

no, it supports an IR blaster
The 'remote' is kinect.
Not outright lying, just ignorance. They should correct themselves but they won't.
Watching live streams is always frustrating on this stuff though as a lot of the presenters do not know the systems as well as some here, so there is always something to gripe over.

Guys, if you really want to humiliate someone in (at least their own minds) a position of influence/power, simply expose the facts in succinct, irrefutable statements. Leave all hints of aggression at the door and the offender will look extra foolish for whatever they do next (dispute facts, block you, try to discredit you, etc).
