"I would like to sincerely apologize to the Xbox team as well as the Xbox community on behalf of the @IGN editorial team", the IGN editor wrote. "The Facebook and Instagram posts were unprofessional and classless and made without my knowledge. The posts will be deleted ASAP."

Twitter and Reddit went batshit over this, of course.

I had hoped that, one day, gamers would stop tying their egos up with which logo is stamped on their AMD produced plastic box that sits collecting dust on their entertainment center but apparently people are still utterly feckless.
