Gamespot's April 1 Rumor Control

Posted by Zonk on Saturday April 2, 2005 @05:59AM from the hole-in-the-windbag dept.

In case any of you were wondering what was and wasn't true yesterday, Gamespot has a rundown on some of the stories that made the rounds on 2005's April 1st. From the article: "One of the day's more devious pranks--also spread by the now obviously complicit Slashdot--plays on the fears of many gamers. In particular, it outlines the nightmare scenario of those who shelled out $99.99 for the Final Fantasy XI/PS2 hard drive bundle. Namely, if its subscriber base dwindles, Sony might discontinue support for the massively multiplayer online role-playing game." Heh.

Next year I'll have to remember not only to avoid Slashdot on April 1 to miss the "funny" stories, but also on the 2nd to miss the Zonk-pats-self-on-back stories on getting Slashdot mentioned in Gamespot because of said "funny" stories. I'd actully enjoy a "Teen kills baby with shank fashioned from Grand Theft Auto disc, parents sue Rockstar" article right now.
