"I find it interesting turn back the clock and a lot of people would back this review, but now IGN doesn't have the image and even people that might agree with the review aren't backing it... honestly I'm not going to read/watch it, 9.0, big whoop, when Bozon retracts that crap MWR review, Craig retracts some of the stupid comments in his NSMB Wii review, and they fire Daemon Hatfield, I might decide to visit IGN again on a normal basis until then no. Not trying to sound "petty" by any means, but if I don't like someones services I'm not giving them my business which for sites means clicks and views, IGNs viewership directly effects their funds, which in the end hurts them."

And make a Nintendo podcast denouncing the last few.

For discussions sake, has you or anyone ever seen a so called "professional" game site retract a statement publically about a review or editorial?  I mean it doesn't happen often with news papers and news on the TV, but it happens, because they WANT to protect their professional credability, why don't game sites do this?  Or do it more often, cause it seems like they can do no wrong honestly, like Bozon has done nothing but fight tooth and nail about that CoD4 review and it had some factually wrong statements about it.

Like its one thing for it to be an opinion that people think is wrong, that you don't have to retract unless its unneeded hate for no reason, but when you state things like "the controls are looser and worse than the previous game" and everyone and their brother is like no they're not, then a developer called you out and states how it uses the same IR control engine just with The Conduit style options included, then you have a factually wrong statement and can be proven wrong, you need to retract things like that.

This is a big reason I hate the gaming press in general. They have turned into Fox News, which doesn't suck because of its viewpoint, but because it's a tabloid channel disguising itself as real news (not the other cable news networks are great, CNN is spineless and MSNBC is trying to be the liberal Fox News, but not be so blatant as Air America was).

The gaming press is now largely like that.
