Blizzard Confirms Diablo III "Beta" Footage is Fake

G4 "did what every self-respecting news outlet would do and reached out to our inside man at Blizzard for comment. Here's what he had to say:

"I took a quick glance at the video and it's very apparent to me that he's doing some kind of trick with the gameplay video we released, " The Blizzard Spokesperson said. "There is no 'beta' of the game yet. He doesn't truly know any 'secrets' about the game as he claims... We wouldn't choose a random guy on youtube recording from his living room as a vehicle of information for our games."

Myth: busted. Shame on you T2Darlantan. Shame on you indeed.
