| Kantor said: But there's a different definition of the word "release" in gaming. It becomes an intransitive verb, which means "to be released". |
Sorry, but no. Just because some people who don't know proper English use a word in an incorrect manner, that doesn't mean it took on a new meaning. It means just that: They don't know proper English.
This is just like what I've seen some people do to the word "bias" on this site, which happens to be a noun. The proper adjective is "biased". A person is biased, not bias. Again, this is not an evolution of language, it's simply incorret. Nothing else.
EDIT:
Another nice example is "definitely". Some people on the internet spell it "definately". That doesn't mean it'll ever be right.
To quote Urban Dictionary http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=definately : "definately - Idiot-speak for "definitely". One of the most common moronic misspellings found on the internet."
