Britain's Sun and Daily Mail each ran stories about a child neglected by parents 'addicted' to online gaming. The online game is apparently Small Worlds. However, the newspapers confused it with Small World, a completely unrelated offline board game and iPad app. The point where the two games meet in the tabloid imagination remains vague and unresearched, at least by them: the original reporter "cheerfully admits" that he doesn't even know which is which. The publisher of Small World — the board game — is understandably upset. [via RPS]
