Kotaku - Sources: Mass Effect: Andromeda Will Not Get Single-Player DLC

If he confirmed with his sources fine... but it didn't require a second article just to say that.  Bioware did not expressly state that there would be DLC, so in many respects, Jason's first article was not put into question by this hoax being revealed as a hoax.  He's made things worse by coming back with such a defensive position on his original article both times.  Professional reporters know how to take the heat and not succumb to it.  He's not behaving anything like a professional reporter.  His best move for his reputation would have been just to have written the original article, confirmed his sources privately when the hoax appeared (so he knows they weren't part of that hoax) and just left his original article stand.  If he's right, it will be eventually proven right.  If he were confident of that, then he would not be so defensive about it all.  The furor surrounding him - he has brought upon himself, first by ranting defensively on social media and now by publishing this article... which does not contain any more actual information than the first one.

It's quite amazing that so many people can't even entertain the thought that is a credible journalist just reporting what he heard.

So, 3 months from now, if there is no DLC for Andromeda. People will say he was just guessing? And got lucky? No wonder Trump in the potus.

You nailed it.

People don't want to believe the guy, so they don't, and try to reationalize why he can't be trusted. I won't put my hands in the fire for someone I don't know, but if you look at his record, it's solid. He is not someone known to make up "clickbait news", but to reliably report information. But that doesn't seem to matter when the you don't like the news. It's like the guy is just some random reddit users saying his father knows a guy. 

Does that also include screenshotting fan forums and gloating over the reaction?

His first article about Mass Effect that needed to be edited at least twice because it was mostly sensationalist lies.

Because his first article was so chuck full of lies that it needed to be edited twice.

Meanwhile Bioware twiddles with its thumbs not answering any questions about dlc. Sorry to say it but if want anyone to blame for this drama blame them.
