I only caught the end of this, but this EG guy is being pretty damn rude to Milkis, a guy who just helps the community by using his talents. Has been this way the whole time?

He's a translator, not a journalist. PlayXP, etc did the "journalism". Milkis gives us access to other's jounalism. It's absurd to think he would have to fact check a foreign post. Why do second hand journalism?

No reason? He is translating something and get blamed for it.

He translates a article that he knows can and will be inflammatory without getting both sides.

It is journalism.

Is there a stream or something for this? There's always something new in this thread...

I think he's slighty mistaking AG's question as a personal question rather than one about his role as translator.

Jesus christ, Milkis a translator, reports a news item on a forum and is now held accountable for not having Journalist etiquette by not contacting EG beforehand for a statement.

He did though, he asked EG on twitter, they didn't reply. EG kept quite for like a day and now blaming Milkis about it.

Why do you assume that Milkis is a journalist? Oh, that's right, it's because Garfield said it. Perspective for the win.

dont translate something and assume its 100% fact then.

Nothing is bullshit about what he's saying. Milkis has brought up multple sources to confirm the transfer and none of them were EG.

That's because EG never made a statement, even though Milkis contacted SirScoots asking for one.

Wow, so Alex wants Milkis to go to EG before posting a translated article?

Milkis didn't write the Korean article. If Alex wants to be mad, then go to PlayXP and be mad.

His comment is because Milkis was the direct source between the Korean sites and the English-speaking websites. He went on to update his Twitter with opinions on the subject which influenced this thread from a subjective and uninformed point of view. It's not just someone posting on a forum thread, it's much more than that.

I hope you understand that.

AG is now trying to undermine Milkis's credibility? Despite the fact that he translates for TL and has done it for a long time?

Translator's are supposed to translate.

What does AG expect milkis to do?
