RockPaperShotgun is a news site as well as a place for reviews and columns. A component of its function is to aggregate news items and bring them to its readers. When RPS carries out this function for aldo it deserves credit.

In fact from an economic utility standpoint (:D) it makes no sense to link to the original site since the creator's interest is in disseminating the content. Linking to the Miner Wars site extracts utility from providing the content, but linking to the RPS repost extracts utility for RPS by bringing viewership to it, and to the Miner Wars team itself because the content is still viewed.

Everyone wins!

Well, yeah, exactly.

Economic utility? You showoff! :p
