HipHopGamer is certainly not the most creditable of sources. They play fanboys off one another for hits almost constantly. They have one article about awesome one console is, while simultaneously bashing another, then reverse positions just a few weeks later. They sometimes get access to some good stuff, but they have so much bias I really don't care anymore.

In my opinion, their bad name is well deserved.

For me, it is all about them stealing articles.

In fact, here is one they still have up, having my name on it as though I wrote for the site:

www.hiphopgamershow.com/?p=1720

Note how they put "bingegamer.net" under the image after we requested they take it down, as though editing that non-clickable link makes it okay to copy and paste a full article (note, it is not okay, and is in fact illegal). One of my partners had wrote this up http://www.bingegamer.net/2009/attn-internet-the-definition-of-copypaste/ as a few of the "fans" of their site started posting on Binge Gamer, so we just wanted to make sure our side is heard. As far as I know, I have every right to have their host drop support for the site (at least temporarily), but I honestly have no desire to do that, they do quite a good enough job of turning people away from their site.


This hasn't ended though, even another Grep article posted just this past week:

www.gamegrep.com/news/21975-fallout_3_introduces_point_lookout_team_diary/

That is copy and pasted in full from Bethesda's official blog. No credit what so ever. http://fallout.bethsoft.com/eng/vault/diaries_diary10-06.18.09.html
They are just asking to be shut down.

I love GameGrep because unlike N4G, most users here do not tolerate this bullshit, and one can only hope that continues.

This has been dealt with. Thank you for notifying us.

Unfortunately, this sort of thing does not fall under our criteria of what to look out for, and we can look to see if we can add this sort of thing to our approval process.

The feedback is appreciated.
