Comment with ~3,000 net upvotes that wrongly states Arkane Lyon and Austin's development history: Reddit - Dive into anything

Reddit is 90% misinformation and propaganda, but this is such a stupid thing that doesn't really matter. How did so many people agree with this lol? Some people were even downvoted and insulted for correcting it: Reddit - Dive into anything

Feels like a slight exaggeration.

But yeah, sometimes it's wild how blatant misinformation gets upvoted and corrections get downvoted.  

Someone made a comment about "Sony bought 50 studios during the PS3 era", and i think they got like 1300 upvotes. And a couple corrections got like 6 upvotes.

I mean it is what it is,.. it not about being right it's about being popular.  misinformation is largely about finding a lie that people want to believe.
