Topic: Turnabout Nintendo-ism

I hate to say this but the example review that was given I know that I personally would not of clicked to read the source link because everything I want to know is right in that paragraph. (Also personally believe that the homepage of the site should be linked where the name is mentioned.  Though we all know I link linkifying lots of things.)  Also, since it is a blog, I wouldn't mind getting his quick 2 cents about what he thought of the overall review.

I honestly don't care if someone posts snippets of my reviews and links back. It's never bothered me.

With that being said, I can understand where Jeff's coming from, so I know why he's angry about it.

Google caches entire sites. I hope they get sued into oblivion! [/deguello]

Lets not get into Google right now.  They are a very dangerous company when you sit down and think about it.

No-one uses Google. Stop trolling.

They generally don't post the entire review; however, they do usually post the "conclusion" section of the review, which tends to give the reviewer's final opinion on the game.

When you move away from reviews and into "news" (and I use the phrase lightly in some cases) posts, generally the entire article is copied (or at least all the important parts).  Behold, the following exhibits!
