The trolls at some of these websites need to be horsewhipped. It's one thing to mock-run an article as bigger than it is in a tongue-in-cheek fashion, it's another thing to generate HYPE for an announcement that turns out to be stupid (or worse, like that asshat at IGN last year who hyped up the "Rayman Legends Delayed" thing). You're just going to piss people off and waste all of our time.

And i'd rather not lock this, but change the title so we can discuss the bullshit that just went down. Your call on whether that should be the case, celador

I would rather lock tbh, as now people know what it is I imagine conversation will die off quickly. If someone wants to make a thread about the wider issue of clickbaiting using the same source that would be a decent idea

Aye aye.
