Sites stealing our news!?

Post by iceytoa1 »

Anyone else noticed that a website posted our news that we've had on our site, hell they use the same damn article, but they have now been listed as a source by BIG websites like Joystiq.
I am really, really annoyed right now :( Nitro or somebody if you wanna get onto them or something?

I've addressed the issue over at www.gwtor.com forums too. I've already posted comments at several of the sites linking to the PlayStationLifestyle article. I've also sent a tweet to the author of the article itself. I don't expect a reply but it still needed to be done.

Uhmm what? Isn't that a good thing? It creates a lot of publicity and interest to the game plus it has ended up on the joystik website and that would get a heck of a lot people aware of it. Although I am pretty pissed that they haven't given credit to our site.

Ya, this happens a lot. Even G4 did this with the GameSpy servers and mentioned this site as The Battlefront Community forums without a link.

It's great for Battlefront, bad for us. Or at least not good. If those sites DID link here traffic would probably jump significantly. That of course would be awesome.

As long as there is credit given to this site, there shouldn't be a problem.

And there lies the problem, they aren't giving the site credit.
