haios si nu prea... Days of Wonder se confrunta cu o situatie ciudata. Cateva ziare din UK (Daily Mail, Sun) au publicat un articol in care se prezinta cazul unei englezoaice care, dependenta de Small World (!?!?) conform articolelor, si-a lasat de izbeliste copii si catelul, etc. Compania Days of Wonder a emis un comunicat de presa in care se prezinta faptul ca este vorba de o confuzie.

Titlul press release-ului este simpatic: Are Trolls now running the editorial desk of the UK Daily Mail and Sun?In a classic case of “Google Journalism”, erroneous press reports from British newspapers, the Daily Mail and the Sun that implicate Days of Wonder’s Small World board game have spread like wildfire over the internet. The stories mistakenly blame the Small World board game as the reason a British woman neglected her children and let the family dogs die because she was so addicted to online game play. We can only assume that the so-called “journalists” mistook Small World, for a similarly named online virtual world.
While unable to spend a few minutes fact-checking to learn that their story could not be possibly true (Small World has no online play – the only digital version is the two player Small World for iPad); they were able to search our website to download graphics of the board game and further smear our name.
