Ugh...
First this idiot publishes outright fabrication as fact, and then whines when we call him on it.
Could someone please revoke his press pass? (assuming he has one)
If this guy knew anything about games, he should have realized that it is very rare for games to use ACTUAL photos as cover art, which should have been a tip that "this is fake".
Oh, and... "Jerry" was it?
The reason we're pissed off at you is because you clearly practice in irresponsible, unethical, or at least idiotic journalism, and well... the news media in general has been trying to pull this kind of shit on gaming ever since it started, and I'm pretty sure most of us are sick of putting up with this kind of crap. No, we're not saying you're evil (at least, most of us aren't... I think), we're just saying that you are a sleazy hack.
And... I'm pretty sure most of us don't spend ALL day playing games, its a hobby, nothing more; which only points out your own willful ignorance... as if that weren't blatantly obvious by this point.
Oh... and as to your call for a "virtual reality" challenge... uh... no... I'm pretty sure that you'd lose... since I highly doubt you've touched a game in your life.
