My issue was not with the content of the news but with the quality of the writing, which was sub-Kotaku. The Kotaku article they sourced the news from was a) better written, and b) written by fucking Bashcraft of all people. What does that say about Joystiq at the moment?
I applaud Joystiq for not straying off-topic like Kotaku does, but they need to up their game. They’ve seriously dipped in the last couple of months.
