Blend Games' Ryan Rigney Calls Out GamePlayer.com's Yellow Journalism

May 11, 2009 in Blog comments 4

Ryan Rigney of Blend Games rakes GamePlayer.com over the coals with this satirical article exposing their recent dip into "yellow journalism," a trend that has begun to take too large a precedence in the gaming journalism world.

In my drunken fanboy rage, I stumbled across this delightful article by GamePlayer.com.au, titled "Sony Gives 64 million Gamers the Finger." The article was discussing the recent and horrific deal that Atari and Sony made with Satan himself, in which Ghostbusters: The Video Game will now be (in Europe only) published on Sony platforms before any other.

    Ah. So the 360 gets a timed exclusive and it's an everyday thing. The PS3 does it (with a game that's not even hyped), suddenly it's completely unethical? Ahh, I love the smell of hypocricy in the morning.

    I believe the article, with its veiled references to XBOX 360 timed exclusives, and exclusive DLC, is being facetious. He is simply trying to point out that timed exlcusives and such are ridiculous. Sony is simply getting to the game late when compared to MS.

    Rigney is a tool. If anyone cared about his articles, it would be someone else submitting them to gamegrep.
