GAMES JOURNALISM!
She shouldn't have revealed the developers name; original article should have remained though. Even if it were with an update.
Wait then who the hell did she talk to? The wall? Herself? A super secret source? Or does she mean she should have sought an official comment from both the interviewer and the studio as a whole?

She published an article without consent from the developer? Wow. How did she think that was a good idea to name the studio if that was the case?
You can't be this daft.
There is a reason most people have to go to school and get a degree for that stuff.Maybe this is what happens when people who aren't real journalists try to become hard hitting, fact finding, truth digging video game journalists.
If anyone ever asks about the state of gaming journalism, refer them to this thread. It's all amateur hour up in here. Kotaku and Not Enough Shaders both.
Mr. Schreier probably should have sent a heads up to his interviewees. Sure he's not obligated to but professional courtesy.
And I have pretty much had it up to here with the blog/enthusiast scene. Hey Emily, always try to get the other side - it makes for better stories.

Now she's saying it wasn't Kotaku.

She's in full damage control mode now.
Ok, this will be fun. Now it was not Kotaku the big bad game news site.
But a Kotaku employee just..
.. my head hurts
They should have talked to each other.It wasn't, until they decided it was. Then it was concluded that it wasn't so it is.

Sorry, I'm going to have to ask everyone who placed a bet on Kotaku to please return their winnings. That includes you jschreier.
Are we back on for Polygon?
Also not just naming the dev but then hinting at the site. She was supposed to be making a wider point; no need for specifics on who asked what. Its the fact it was supposedly all to be negative.
As someone who writes articles for NotEnoughShaders, I agree the article should probably of been updated for the sake of journalism (even though we are just a small community posting interviews we are lucky enough to get and no one is paid, clicks don't actually mean anything on our site since there isn't a single ad on it)
But had we of updated the article instead of pull it, it would of hurt ACKKStudios, there really isn't much harm it could do to us, at least that I could imagine, but these guys have a great game in two brothers and I really want to see that succeed, also I am interested in future unannounced titles that they are likely already putting together. So considering them, we had to pull it, I hope our site learns from this but at the same time, I don't want to be afraid to report something either.
So you are denying the accusations of how the interview went down? Is it also common practice to not have an interview posted after three weeks without giving an ETA on when it will be online?

That's why it's so sad. Today, most of the big gaming site is all about traffic and money >.<The issue here is indies NEED the gaming media to spread the message about their game

Can you bet on yourself as the rider of the winning horse?
How can you reverse ferret when that aspect of the story has already been confirmed
Emily Rogers a few hours from now: "Article? What article? I'm just a gastronomy blogger, I don't even know what a Nintendo is!"
Heh, that's also the first thing I noticed when reading the post.Writer for the site uses "Would of" instead of "Would've" or "would have" :/
maybe Kotaku wasn't the only site doing it?
