On the one hand...
On the other hand, we're getting to the point where it's not inaccurate to start measuring the gap between the games in decades. Let's be honest, I think it's a little unreasonable to think it's taking them this long to do anything with the property.

I agree with this statement. And I'd be taking this whole thing with a salt shaker. Not only is it an unnamed source, but it's from over a year ago and there's no telling what has changed since then, even if this is all true.MeatMachine said:And I have faith that Buzzfeed knew what they were talking about when they reported the unconfirmed, alleged leaks from pseudo-anonymous sources that Donald Trump hired Russian hookers to pee on Obama's bed.Ezekiel said:Then don't publish it. If it can't be confirmed, it's not news.The interview was actually conducted in 2015, but Game Informer's Andrew Reiner has spent quite a bit of time since trying to confirm the information he was given with another source. After being unable to do so, he shelved the interview until now, when it was published with a warning to take everything within with a grain of salt.
I still have faith.
It's not irresponsible and unjournalistic if you amend such statements with "no evidence currently exists to actually support any of this, and we are publishing this purely to share other peoples' speculation about unsubstantiated events so that everyone else can fill in the details and determine the accuracy for themselves based solely on their own prejudices and confirmation bias."
