    But the way the sentence “We were hearing feedback that they love the thriller game, but it was pretty scary, and the obvious next step was that they wanted to play with someone" was phrased does make it sound like she was saying "People like the game but it's scary!"

    I'll give it that the headline was misleading but the EA representative should've chosen her words a little better.

    While Laura indeed is a marketing rep and "could" have chosen her words better, the person doing the interview shouldn't use a headline based of a line he/she isn't sure how to interpret. If they didn't understand what the person said; they should've inquired about it.

    Technically, when doing interviews and such, it's also common practice in proper journalism to run the final article through the person you interviewed or thei PR representative to ensure that whatever you're putting on print ... of course ... video game journalism ... har har .

    Yeah. In general, the "industry" as a whole should just stop communicating with "gaming journalists" - as they're simply not journalists (same somewhat applies to almost any so called journalist these days)
