Woo-hoo! Journalism Fail!

[Lucke]

Apparently, Final Fantasy is now being blamed for a murder when in fact the dumb journalists never realized the game wasn't Final Fantasy.

Journalism Fail.

What's the world coming to?

The article did mention FFXIV so it's not as though this is COMPLETELY off-topic.

I hate to be "that guy", but I wonder if SE has a case. Like defamation of character, but for the business. Couldn't this give SE some negative reputation when they had nothing to do with it?

Oh god Kotaku. Could you have warned us at least? I don't want to give that s**tty "journalism" site any more hits.

Quick blame something for our own problems!

Oh I know, he played tetris and that made him a violent person!

Edit: Wolfie, Kotaku is reporting someone -elses- poor journalism, they are not the ones that screwed up.. this time.. lol

[Lucke]

To be fair, it wasn't Kotaku that failed, it was the German Press. So meh

Literally don't care. Just because they're not completely disingenuous once every hundred and fifty articles doesn't mean they're deserving of hits.

That's not bad.

Last week Ralph Nader called video game developers "electronic child molesters".

Scapegoating videos games for social issues seems to be popular.

Hey man, have you heard of Jason Schierer and his awesome hand gestures?

[Phe]

wow.

I actually live in Munich where this happened and i even didn't know until now.
Probably because it's a yellow press boulevard paper that doesn't deserve to be read anyways.
Another reason for me to boycott it and to advise other people against reading it.

the picture of that FFXIV profile in the news...
i don't even...
that's so pathetic i'm lost for words.
