Good question. 2K blacklisted Eurogamer a while back (I think over their Mafia 2 review.)Would be hilarious if IGN or Gamespot picked up this story. Would Activision have to blacklist them? No way.

To be fair, Mafia 2 wasnt a great game.
Yap. Atmosphere was great IMO.More Black Ops is ok with me. Best CoD I've played yet.
What have you done, what have you DONE?!
Do you hear them coming? RUN!!
So Amazon FR fucks up, and Gameblog gets blacklisted?...
This has got to be ilegal right? Blackmailing for censorship?
it's especially hilarious that they outed the others who pulled the stories and the google caches
Gaming websites removing articles over Activision pressure? Sounds worth it of reporting to me.
Activision wouldn't have to blacklist them because they'd comply with Activision asking them to take it down (if they would even run the article in the first place).Would be hilarious if IGN or Gamespot picked up this story. Would Activision have to blacklist them? No way.
There is talk of Activision, the masters of recycling.

Why? Blops 2. Why??
Oh, hai Streisand effect.
Eurogamer and Gamespot are both reporting it now, so this story is starting to pick up.
I see it on Eurogamer, where is it on Gamespot?
I'm glad this story is starting to pick up.
...oh no, now they will have to buy COD to review it. Too bad.
They are asked not to come to the Transformers press event scheduled next week, all advertising campaigns have been cancelled, and they've been informed that they'll no longer be receiving review copies of any upcoming game.
Yay..another CoD4 styled game..who would have guessed?to clarify that Im not trolling, I own CoD4, MW2 and Black Ops. Im just sick of how they all feel like the same thing with different kill streaks and perks.
I think the real news here is how Activision is handling the apparent reporting of news. If Amazon did in fact accidentally leak the info then they should be mad at them, not the blog reporting the news.

Barry, where's Barry?Barry Burton?

Dan Amrich (@OneOfSwords) said:@NeuromancerGAF Agreed. Punishing the press for a retailer mistake would be wrong, but I wonder if there is more to the story?
Dan Amrich (@OneOfSwords) said:@NeuromancerGAF My media background keeps me skeptical until I hear more than one side of the story in pretty much everything.
What more to the story could there be? The only way that Acti looks clean in all this is if the blog made up the whole thing.Barry, where's Barry?
Anyway I had a little chat with Activision blogger Dan Amrich over Twitter on the subject:
