I will try my best to report news responsibly without too much of my opinion or humor reflected in them. If I offer an opinion, it will be posted in the comments beneath to keep news reporting as clean as possible.
After some self-review, I have to acknowledge I haven’t been respectful, among other flaws. Fans may provide feedback by email (through the submit news link at the right menu) to complain or to point out if there’s anything I reported that should have been done in a better tone.
I think I need to humble down to admit I am wrong. I haven’t been approached by IncGamers editorial, The Escapist, nor by Blizzard directly. I simply felt I should express this in public to reach the fans and other people who I know visit Blizzplanet.
I don’t think I posted it in this fansite, but I posted a piece of news at Worldofwar.net and Starcraft: IncGamers — it was titled Battle.net to Rival Steam.
I reported The Escapist interviewed Rob Pardo about the possibility or at least the thought that Battle.net could be licensed to third-parties. However, I added a personal opinion in that post. Actually, more a joke and a parody than my personal opinion as that’s not how I think. I was parodying what some trolls say in the official forums and in other community forums about Activision or Bob Kotick.
The thing is that not everyone knows when I am humorous in written form — I am shy in real life, but I joke often. Don’t ask, I’m that weird. Bottomline, my sincere apologies to Bob Kotick, to Blizzard and to the fans.
If people don’t know how to identify between opinion and fact, then it’s their problem, not Medievaldragon’s. I believe he makes a great work, and although sometimes posts theories I don’t agree with, I know his sources are always legit.
A joke is a joke. No need to be harsh (regarding those that complained).
Keep with the good work, MD .
