[Deleted member 7217]

Long story short, Polygon wrote this article on Marcus Sellars' Dark Souls Rumor.

Gonna let these tweets, at least one of which Marcus retweeted, speak for themselves.

Don't you dare attack @Marcus_Sellars like that while not knowing the whole story. Incredible and you now your credibility keeps going down Polygon

The worse is that he's there for nothing. It doesn't mean that one rumor is false that you should call him out like that. Really disappointed

He's small and not well known. You just want him to fail. Polygon your respect and decency is not longer existant

If you're mad because the fans attacked Dark Souls and got excited, it's a rumor. Never believe something until it's confirmed. Even you should understand that. Also the fans attacked Dark souls, not Marcus Sellars. He just spread what he thought was true.His sources are at fault

At this point, Marcus speaks up.

And then Jmac posts this, which Marcus retweeted

Calling out small and big games journalists. Our friend @Marcus_Sellars was attacked by @Polygon and they made lies and didn't cover the full story while hiding details to discredit him. We can't let one of our friends and our place be discredited. We will unite against this

And now they're trying to rally other Nintendo news sites to go against Polygon. Yeah, this is getting ugly pretty fast.

Sellers is not a credible source and never has been. Anyone using him as a rallying point is going to end up distancing themselves from him eventually.

 

[NinjaCoachZ]

Man, this guy had absolutely no track record. This is just bananas that people would fall so feverishly around him like this.

 

[cvbas]

Polygon calling out the lack of name recognition of this random guy is now an attack? Come on, Marcus. You're not doing your credibility any favors.

 

[ZhugeEX]

I don't think we need to bring twitter drama here.

Especially given Marcus provided comments to Polygon based on the article.

Also, the rumor actually originated from this forum.
