Eurogamer journo loses job over article
http://www.forbes.com/sites/erikkain...el-complaints/
Here's the (now edited) article: http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/20...ble-of-doritos Just plowing through the comments to see at what point people change from commenting about the article itself to how they react to him leaving.

He didn't lose his job over it per se but did leave.

As Walker suspected might happen, the 'Square Enix' part has since been removed from her journalisted entry.

I dunno - when the fuss dies down several hundred thousand people will still know who Lauren Wainwright is which can only be a good thing for her - and her articles are very well suited to the mainstream.
She just needs to brazen it out for the incoming fortnight of internet nerd rage.

Blimey, talk about making things difficult for yourself! Her work's not going to worth a lot in the foreseeable future, she's going to have to back track and clear things up but the damage has been done.

Oh and a year in Japan as a schoolgirl. Perfect. She'll probably be writing articles for Eurogamer by the start of 2013.
