I couldn't find it. Maybe I've been up too long.

Same here.



 

 

 

since you tagged CodMW3 I'm guessing you're saying that they reported that the game made a lot of money for vivendi while the numbers are about the first 9 months when it's was not released yet... "Its latest Call of Duty game took $400m in its first 24 hours in the US and UK"

but.. it says right there:

The game, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3, was launched last week so those sales figures have yet to feed into Vivendi's results.



 

Face the future.. Gamecenter ID: nikkom_nl (oh no he didn't!!) 

I'm not seeing anything. Besides, I don't think there's anything wrong with non-gamers reporting on gaming news, so long as they take the time to understand what they are reporting--there isn't always a need to play the games first.

This isn't gaming news, it's a report on a company in the business section. That company happens to have a 'games division'.



Hmm, pie.

A more fitting headline would be "Why native speakers who don't know proper English should refrain from posting on the internet."
Really, you give gamers a bad name. Try reading a book every now and then.

PS.
Even your signature is erroneous: "I hate it when people mispell [sic] Xbox as XBox, it [sic] one annoying typo"
Oh the irony.

Yes, I have a habit of making rather embarrasing spelling mistakes on my keyboard, sue me.

The mistake I was talking about has been spotted and corrected, which is why no one can see it. When I first look at the article, it talked about Call of Duty and Modern Warfare 3 as though they were seperate games.



Ok
