Twitter Blue’s new verification system is rolling out and as one might expect it’s already causing problems for Grand Theft Auto VI and Nintendo fans. In October, Elon Musk officially took control of Twitter and began making significant changes to make the company profitable and promote “free speech”. This started by laying off half of the company, reducing costs in the process, but reports began to trickle out that the company may have laid off too many vital people and had to ask some people to return. Twitter went on to announce that users would be able to subscribe to Twitter Blue for $8/month and get a verified blue checkmark like celebrities and other high profile accounts. Many feared this would lead to widespread misinformation and impersonation… and that’s exactly what has happened.

As much as we’d like a real Ricochet reboot, this circulating tweet isn’t genuine, and wasn’t published by Valve. ⚠ A little PSA to apply some extra skepticism to anything crossing your Twitter feed that seems unexpected. pic.twitter.com/iPF5ep47bM
