It's a major story at a prominent website that is very confident in making many many claims. There's no way that story gets posted without extensive verification of sources because of the opportunity to be sued for libel, because of the claims contained therein. There's just no way that this is some sort of made up gossipy story, because Activision would be suing Kotaku in a heartbeat.

If you look at what I said, I wasn't saying the sources were made up or something, I was saying that the way it is written does not allow me to discern the facts from fiction - the context of the source's quotes from the author's inferences and conclusions.

*edit*
Here's an example of how I see these kinds of things. Headline: "Bob 'fell down' in the backroom yesterday because Tom stacked the boxes wrong." The reporter has got Bob on recording saying he did indeed fall down in the backroom. But the part where it was Tom's fault might have been added from a quote by Suzy, the receptionist, who wasn't even around when it happened and simply inferred it. Without knowing the context of the quotes, the reader can't discern what really happened, despite the fact that the sources are verified. :)
