Again, I completely understand. What I don't understand is how anyone expects Bethesda to smile and shake hands with the very outlet that leaked internal documents and details about their upcoming games, damaging their marketing plans and costing them who knows what, and then blames Bethesda when they don't do that.
Let's be honest here. Jason's story on Fallout 4 didn't expose some terrible thing Bethesda did to its employees (like some of the other excellent pieces he did) or a reason why the game got canned. All it did was leak details that Bethesda were always going to eventually reveal. Only thing is that Jason did it before Bethesda was ready by 2 years. Jason, and in turn, Kotaku, made money off of Bethesda's internal documents and marketing plans. Bethesda didn't like that, and they chose not to deal with an outlet that chose to do that. We can sit and argue all we want about who's in the wrong here, but Jason asked why Bethesda thinks its acceptable to blacklist them because of the leak, and I'm just saying that this is what I believe the reason to be.
