    Schreier has not published any of his gossipy pieces because he had a deal with anyone, at least that I know of. If what you mean is that he publishes the gossip because that’s the red meat what keeps him employed at Bloomberg so he can write more thorough coverage of the really interesting stuff… well, you have a worse opinion of Schreier than I do.

    Honestly, you guys are doing little to get me on board with that sort of thing. From the way you talk about it I’m getting the distinct impression that this sort of “investigative journalism”, which often boils down to “game development went poorly for reasons”, is only feeding into the antagonistic relationship and not, as I’d hoped, creating more awareness of how the process goes so people can have more informed opinions.
