Whatever kind of "professional arrangement" they had with Sony, Sony was within its rights to sever that relationship if Kotaku violated it. Imagining that Sony will now suffer a PR disaster grossly overinflates the impact of a few blogs on the public's awareness. And, Duncan: Publishing rumors i precisely the kind of thing a responsibile news outlet does not do. Depicting Gawker Media as a poor little independent publisher is more than a bit disingenuous.

What they did here will not ruin anything for them. When that is said - I agree with Thord. Sony can do this because they are a big company. What they did here will not ruin anything for them.

It's journalist's right to report whatever he/she wants but taking responsibility of the consequences is a part of it too. Is it my right as a company owner to stop cooperation with other party? Yes it is. And I don't even need a reason for that. Kotaku looks like a little child who hit his uncle and now cries because uncle doesn't want to take him on a trip. Thord, I fully agree with you.

Adam, it's not a journalist's responsibility to protect your company. Journalist should report news, no matter if a company likes it or not. Are rumors news? Sometimes, not always. In this case? Depends on the source I'd say. They made up. I doubt they would have if it had been a smaller blog than Kotaku…

I ask you nicely not to publish an information and you publish it anyway. You know that you will harm my company but you go for it despite I asked you not to. Do you think I still want to cooperate with you? Get real. Arrogant? I ask you nicely not to publish an information and you publish it anyway.
