I said nothing about them being paid so kindly refrain from trying to paint me into a corner. Crapgamer proves you don't need money to lie.

But what would they gain from hoping to cause damage?

Hits, controversy for more hits. It always makes me chuckle when people pull the whole tin-foil hat argument when anyone suggest some sites are biased or bent. I just do not believe that anyone can be that stupid or that misinformed. It doesn't take stupidity to make this mistake, it takes a learning difficulty.

Well whether or not it was intentional it certainly puts their credibility in question. Wanting attention is a more likely occurance than intentionally being stupid for the sake of bad mouthing the game. 

Above all this is gaming journalism. I'm not expecting a PhD to write gaming news and such but even then this is a pretty blatant mistake to make. It is hard to believe that even a gaming journalist can be that stupid.

Writing articles to a grade 6 level? Well yea, that's a norm I have come to expect. But mistaking a remaster of a 6 year old game (that you played previously) for a brand new one? Two possibilities: creating controversy (which I wouldnt put past them) or just making an honest mistake. I don't think they were intentionally causing damage to UC4's image for the sole purpose of it though.

"hey let's purposely screw up this uncharted thing! Just think of the hits we will get!1"

"well also wreck our credibility, destroy the site, it will take years to recover. uncharted 5 will be out before we'd recover."

"yes but the hits!"

There is a reason people call tin foil hattery on a lot of tin foil hattery.

How do you not know youre playing Uncharted 2 and call yourself an Uncharted veteran ?

War wounds, he's a blind veteran.

Hehe, good one.
