Tsk, Tsk, Tsk...Iresponsible IGN
 
Hopefully no one who didn't want the plot twist spoiled for them saw this:

Oh my gosh! For those of you who are too cheap to buy the game, don't look! For those of you who were too lazy to play the game all the way through by now, don't look!

It contains a spoiler! An evil, eye-raping spoiler!

And...this seems to be...the...um...spoiler section, and this seems perfectly acceptable for it.

Well then, shut your craws and accept it.


Sorry, chums. I had to. Why? Because I'm perpetually bitter :D :p

Actually, the official site spoiled it long before it was posted on IGN, and the Discovery Channel special spoiled it years before even that.

Yeah, but not everyone saw that special, and IGN is a very popular gaming site. Oh well, at least it was buried in between plenty of other screens.

And I posted this on the spoiler forum because, if you think about it, it would seem even stupider if I posted this in the general forum. I didn't say "Don't look at this if you don't want it ruined", I said that I hope that no one who didn't want it ruined saw this. If I posted this on the genaeral forum, I probably would have gotten responses like this:

"In trying to warn others of spoilers, you yourself just drew their attention to it."

That is if anyone on the internet these days was polite enough to phrase it that way.

Does the above statement sound too rude?

Oh well, the untrained eye may not notice it

it was in the EA press release of the game...
so every site could put their hands on it and put it on their site without noticing it was a spoiler

once again, lets blame EA:
"Boooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo EA"
