Dan Stapleton is doing himself and IGN a disservice by carrying on this stupid dialog in public.


He's simply discrediting somebody for misrepresenting his company, and it's logical to do it in public IMO. What's the point of taking up the issue in private when Joe is even acting like a teenager on a public tweet?

Joe showed one slide with a quote from IGN's preview, and one slide with IGN's final review score.  Both of those were opinions published by IGN.  The fact that they were at different times doesn't mean you can't quote both of them when talking about IGN's opinion.  Even if IGN revised, or didn't include that text in their review, it was still something that they published.

If Barack obama made a slip up in a speech, and then after that didn't mention it any more, do you think people would ever forget what he originally said?

I think it's a stretch to call it a misquote, a big technical leap, and carrying on about it is pretty childish.  Yes Joe is retorting to name calling, but that's his problem.  Does not negate Dan taking this argument too far.


You work with games right? Tell me, if a preview says the game is trash but the end review is a 9/10 because the game ended up being great after polish, would it still be fair to quote the preview in contrast to the review? They are not in the same context because they are done in different situations or times, even if somehow the opinions didn't change much from preview to review, you just can't use them in the same context because opinions can change at anytime.
