The funniest part is that some went as far as hypotesizing that the lack of listing of FFXIV for PS3 for the 2012 lineup means that it won't be released, when it says *clearly* just over the listing that it includes "only previously announced" titles.

Sometimes the lack of reading ability of some people (or their intentional will to mislead their readers) baffles me completely.
Oh okay, i get what you mean. It does suck that it drives some people to believe whatever is said and its not even true.

My friends told me about this yesterday and how this was bad news for FFXIV. After I asked him where he got his info from (Kotaku), I took it with a grain of salt and explained to him, the real deal.

Now just imagine how many other people believe the same story he did. =/
