Thanks. So it's a rule of thumb that whereever they use [word] it means that the quoted person actually said something else than [word], but for our convenience the quoter exchanged the original word into another word that lets the meaning of the sentence out easier?

But i still dont know how the ( ) are being used in citation. :/

Yes, that is correct. Parenthesis ( ) are used for additional commentary on the quote. It represents something not said, but added for clarity of the message.

Cool. But in the OP article, they used the parentehsis () wrong then. Because Patcher actually said the exact words "...none Move first party content" in the show.

“So I think that unfortunately Sony really does have good first party content, (none Move first party content like [David Jaffe’s Twisted Metal 2 Game),” he said.
