TalkBack / Re: Retro Studios Turns Down Former Rare Composer Looking for Work
« on: June 29, 2012, 07:02:07 PM »
First of all, tweets are not news. You should have gotten more information on this by emailing Kirkhope himself with a few questions and gotten a better answer on the situation instead of basing all of your information off of a twitter tweet.
Second of all, that headline is grossly bias.
He was not "turned down". They had enough composers for their projects already. That headline makes it seem like that Retro Studios will NEVER hire Kirkhope, when in reality Kirkhope would have a very good shot if another musician left and they needed a replacement. Sure you have a sentence that says "Retro is full up" following it, but people are going to pay way more attention to the headline than the sub-headline.
I've talked people who believed the first scenario of my paragraph after reading your headline (who are now pissed at Retro) when in reality, it's the second.
Patrick Barnett, please change the headline. I have nothing against you, but please choose your words more carefully in the future.
