And it is kind of hard to make an original preview, because it is not like I get sent demos from EA Sports themselves... When I make my previews, I use existing hands on impressions or previews from sites to make people aware of the game that I think will probably be good.

Who was getting excited?
All I'm saying is that, in this preview, for example, Crono doesn't deserve credit. He didn't write the preview. Someone at IGN did. If any credit is to be given to Crono for this preview, it would be "Hey, way to go with that crazy Ctrl + C action, man!"
I could see the people making these topics (Crono, Joeiss, and Perfect Stu) getting credit if they had actually written the previews. Even if you got your info from previews written by various other sites, so long as it was
you who actually wrote the product you were showing off to everyone.
Doing this though, copying a preview from somewhere, then posting it on GameTavern's forums, and taking credit for doing that (Not taking credit for writing it, taking credit for copying and pasting) is stupid.
Do you figure my English teacher will give me credit for someone else's report that I glue onto my own paper, and then scribble something written by me in at the bottom of it?
I'm not saying you're asking for credit, but you're all giving eachother credit for doing things you didn't do. This is what I'm confused by.
"
Hey so-and-so, nice preview, man!"
Hey dumbass, so-and-so didn't write the preview, man!
As soon as one of you actually writes your own preview, you should definitely compliment the work... But this copy and paste sh-t? Nah.
