Twitter Verification Removal Sparks Fake Game Announcements and Confusion for PlayStation Accounts
TL;DR Summary
Twitter has removed the "legacy checkmarks" that verified the identities of notable accounts, making it difficult to disprove fake game announcements. Many game companies have decided not to pay the new monthly fee for the checkmark, including PlayStation, Nvidia, AMD, and Nintendo of Europe. Twitter's new policy is that organizations must pay $1,000 a month for a gold "verified" checkmark. As a result, prospective gaming announcements should be checked carefully before assuming they are accurate.
