Just saw this... SCEE was caught editting the Halo 3 wiki, claiming that the game will "look no better than Halo 2"

SCEE caught editing Halo 3 Wiki

With the EA wiki debacle last month and now with this, do you think game companies are going too far?

If that's true then I'm seriously put off Sony. That's just incredibly pathetic, and to a Halo fan like me it just makes me feel so much less like getting a PS3

NeoGAF is claiming it's a fake, but I have yet to see proof confirming or denying this.

Prior to Ken Kutaragi getting canned, I'd believe this in a second without proof. I'm thinking this was a rogue act, or intentional sabotage right now though.

Sorry where is the proof that Sony did the editing? One article that cites no evidence?

I never knew Wikipedia was such a big deal. Are people going to Wikipedia and reading summaries of games rather than websites like xbox.com or GS and making their own judgements?

Strikes me as being a pointless prank, though that being said, it shouldn't have happened.

Well, it's not a big deal. Vandalism occurs all the time on Wikipedia. It's something editors are constantly faced with.

The "big deal" is that the individual in question works for SCEE Liverpool and made the edit from a company IP address.

I'm not going to associate his actions with the studio as a whole though. He clearly makes other unrelated edits from work.

Yes I get that he/she works for SCEE, but how do you know that he/she wasn't doing it with some co-workers just to have fun? o.o;

Why should I care about the stupid jokes that some SCEE Liverpool decided to add to Wikipedia one day in April.

This is really nothing compared to what happens on pages such as Jesus and George W. Bush.

No way! You're telling me that one guy from SCEE Liverpool does not represent the entirety of Sony Computer Entertainment Europe?! I refuse to believe you.

Please try to include a link in your opening post if the thread is a news story. It's hard for people to discuss the issue if they have to question the existence of the story. The fact that others later found links for the TC doesn't negate the original omission. ;)
