Sony Caught Editing Halo3 Wiki Entry... - Sep 05, 2007 00:41

It' s not just Electronic Arts getting in on the Wikipedia editing shenanigans, it seems. One of our top tipsters, Action Bastard, has informed us of a certain edit on Halo 3' s Wikipedia page informing us, in biased glory, that the game will not look any better than its prequel Halo 2. While such childish trolling is hardly news on the Internet, the fact that Sony itself seems to be the purveyor of the immature mudslinging should be cause for a raised eyebrow and condescending snicker.

The IP address for the recent edit is 217.18.23.2, an IP that just so happens to belong to Sony Computer Entertainment Europe in Liverpool, UK. Naughty naughty. Checking out the IP' s history on Wikipedia, we see a few other instances where SCEE has shown its maturity and sensibility. Because they are funny, I have contained them after the jump. In the meantime, remember that the Internet has WikiScanner now, Sony, and any company that wants to indulge in this kind of infantile behaviour will be caught and made to look like a bunch of incompetent boobs.

It' s funny how some bloke was bored/sad enough to research into something like this, though. At least, I think it is.

I wasn' t refering to you Marink, just to be clear. The Sony employee that did this was playing a practical joke on Sony not Halo 3. He wanted to give his own place of employment bad press, I hope he loses his job. He' s just a dumbass.

Maybe I' m in a bad mood, I know this was meant to be funny but it just looks childish. Who gives a fuck about wikipedia anyways? lol this whole thing is ridiculous. The Corporations are fighting to change eachothers Wiki pages...stop fucking around and get back to work!

It' s quite sad that somebody at SCEA did this.

What is also sad is that a lot of people are oblivious to the fact that MS has also modified wiki entries, except they hired someone to specifically do it..

No I haven' t, and a lot of people on this board don' t link. If you can' t google I don' t feel bad. If you don' t believe me I could give a flying f*ck because I won' t be the ignorant one.

You mean a trivial matter? Many care apparently since Wikipedia looks up things like these more often. Especially since the CIA started doing things like that, along with Vatican City, Microsoft, governments and news outlets. It' s not that trivial. Wikipedia is supposed to be an encyclopedia and it' s kind of bad when companies and governments abuse the service because they have some agenda. All because they want to influence the masses with even more lies.
