OT: GameSpot and news crediting
Posted By: Nijhazer <nijhazer@mindspring.com>Date: 10/17/00 4:42 p.m.

Is it just me or has GameSpot never credited its sources?

Let's say, for example, that Matt Soell makes big progress reports about Halo and Oni, and posts them to B.org, and B.org reports the news. GameSpot then takes the news and reports it on its site without mentioning B.org at all. Other sites such as, oh, say, DailyRadar.com then find this news on GameSpot and report it, crediting GameSpot as the source.

Kind of a cheap tactic, don't you think?
