Bored?

Starting to get extremely ridiculous. I don't blame them, they have the right to say or tweet whatever they want, and this and last year alone they have proven to be right, but it is silly how small sites will make news out of what they say.

I don't think getting 2 or 3 or 5 or 10 predictions right suddenly makes you an "insider".

And isn't that bad journalism, to publish news based on a tweet when you cant yourself verify the source, as pete dodds and thuways twitter feed isn't a news website itself? It's different if the tweet came from company X about a game they made.
However they seem to get away with it by refering them as 'insiders'.

N4G should probably ban posts that quote eithers twitter rumours, but allow them if they post it on GAF first.

 

hrmph...

 

DISCLAIMER

I actually like reading there rumours, I just dont like sites that quote them

thuway is kinda annoying in the sence he's wrong about a lot of things a lot of times, but does still leak some correct info.

Pete is actually great and has like a 99% track record on giving correct info. I'd listen to everything he has to say.



I enjoy them because the leaks are real.

They are both equally annoying though as their bias is astronomicaly huge.

What are some of the things they've accurately leaked in the past?

I'm still interested in what Pete Dodd has to say but thuway is a bit annoying.



just as annoying as those blogs from hiphopgamer (sony "leaker") and that gamergirl (nintendo leaker) when ps3 and Wii came out



Never! Leaks are fun even if they aren't true.



If you demand respect or gratitude for your volunteer work, you're doing volunteering wrong.

Not at all.

What I'm really getting sick of is the lack of news from game journalists and corporations like Sony themselves.



I am starting to lean towards them being on a payroll for Sony, but that is just me.

Never see them break any Sony news unless it is positive. I believe Thuway said something about The Order and its graphics, but some how never announced Driveclub and MLB The Show delays.

I think it was Famous, who was then seconded by Thuway, who said the Xbox One's OS was in shambles and unusable. Saying it might not work at launch.

If you are going to be an "insider" like that at least not be so bias. It is obvious they hold information back for Sony, but the minute they get ANY Xbox information it doesn;t matter how reliable they post it and try to fix the shit storm after. But the damage was done.
