Oh look, IGN involved in more bullshit and immediately succumbing to publishers will. "Video Game Industry" and "Deception" are interchangeable words these days. Which leads me to this:

Hellgate London. What a depressing read. These are the people that had a much stronger voice than any of us in the beta or just regular customers. But because this douche didn't want to upset his drinking buddies and new friends, he kept his mouth shut. Maybe he was worried about his job too, but for christ's sake.

"Interviewed on camera by one of Flagship’s community managers, I called the event “one of my most awesome experiences” and threw in an empathic “Hell yeah!”"

Did he have a gun to his head? Did his new Intel processor they gave him for "some reason " make him happy enough to lie on camera to anyone that was going to see it? Deception. Lies. Bribery. The interview may have touched on the entire event, but the only reason they had one in the first place was to put positive spin and hype on the game itself.

I hope the author is reading this:

You are a scumbag. You are as big of a scumbag as the emphatic liars that developed this game and sold us on false promises for over three years. You were a fan, like so many others, dreaming of the possibilities of what Hellgate could have and should have been, but you sold out. You, who had a voice six months before the games' release, lied to yourself and to anyone that watched that interview you should have either not been a part of or walked away from. Yes, nothing could have saved this game even with somebody saying something 6 months prior to release, but you went with the flow to please EA/Flagship and you even added to their hypefest when you knew you absolutely should not have.

In war-time, you would be called a collaborator.
