The Biggest Gaming Lies of 2007

mistermostyn | September 05, 2007 | News | Playstation 3 Wii 
Telling porky pies to your faithful consumer base is simply unforgiveable. Statements really shouldn't be given if then they're discounted a matter of hours, days or weeks later. It's bad form, and we don't like it. Don't be surprised, dear Sony, Nintendo, and Microsoft, if we decide to take our money elsewhere based on some of the howlers you've let slip this year. Boo!
Regardless of motivation or reasoning, no one likes a liar. Sometimes a ‘bending of the truth’ is necessary and can even ultimately serve some good, but when our sensitive selves are relayed gaming information as gospel, we’re very much inclined to believe it.

GamerSquad has picked out a selection of the biggest deceptive statements of 2007 and listed them for your perusal.

    Everyone knows Sony has made the worst... I put that down to the fact they talk and then hear it back and realise what a great idea it was and take it all back lol.

    Nintendo, Microsoft and Sony are getting frustrated with the demands of gamers for the game so they make the realease date earlier than expected to shut them up.

    But when it doesn't come out Gamers get annoyed and if it does come out it lacks things which were never properly finished!

    Well, some gamers are just impatient and can'r really know the fact that the companies are making the games for your pleasure, they push/delay the release dates because they want to make the game complete and done.

    I think some people should know that.

    I agree with this article. But the gamers should at least wait instead of having the game producers being forced to tell lies to the gamers to shut them up.

    Most of the time the announcers themselves didn't know what was happening, a lot can change in a few days and developers can change their whole strategy in seconds

    Agreed, tallteen. I'm surprised, a bit. And then, I'm not. *points to Sony*

    Fanboyism ftw.
