CNET Has No Idea What “Vaporware” Means

CNET has a bizarre little slideshow of the top-eleven vaporware titles, with the mysterious inclusion of those who are no longer vaporware (Prey is #3). I think someone is confused about the definition of "vaporware", despite the literal definition being pasted above the article itself.

Here're their complete picks:

  1. Duke Nukem Forever
  2. The Phantom Game Console
  3. Prey
  4. Starcraft Ghost
  5. Sam and Max: Freelance Police (listed as cancelled...whuh?)
  6. PlayStation 3 (say what?)
  7. The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess (this is getting ridiculous)
  8. Team Fortress 2 (jesus christ)
  9. Fallout 3 (I actually hope this is true; I don't want to see Bethesda fuck my sunshine on this one)
  10. Earthbound 64/Mother 3

In fact, I think the only actual vaporware items on that list are the Phantom, DNF, and maybe Fallout 3. Although the latter doesn't really count because it hasn't been cancelled or delayed; it's barely even been announced. Get the fuck out of my comic book shop, CNET.
