Took long enough...

This is great, I remember looking at that picture for the first time and being out raged. Its nice to know that the Ns community can make a difference in the world.

Actually it was more like the entire gaming community.

Apology is all well and good, but I hope they fired the nitwit responsible.

and "Not knowing the original context" my ****. Unless the guy had down syndrom its pretty obvious.

And if he's the one responsible he should be begging on the street for change, not making apologies in a magazine he should no longer work for.

Are you trying to sink to EGM's level?

That_Annoying_Kid

I remember that thread. Pleasant to see they had the smarts to cough up an apology.

Quaunaut

Actually, they apologized the very month after they published that. This is quite a bit late, by about 2 months.

I missed the original fiasco; what happened?

Quaunaut

See the pictures each one of them was holding? Replace that with the Cover art for Socom II, and insert in magazine.

if you didn't notice, he actually linked to it in the initial post.

He's just saying they actually put it in the mag.

Gadzuko

At least they actually did something. It was a really stupid mistake, but the fact that they actually coughed up some money makes their apology a little easier to believe.
