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

Oh no, my worst nightmare!

"Sinclair Networks" has nothing to do with his sources. You're conflating the two totally separate things. SN was amateur hour. No one with a functioning brain stem should've fallen for that, much less a journalist who has demonstrably real connections to major gaming studios, including Bioware itself.

Right--conversely, it doesn't make it true... But that's when Jason's strong record of reporting leaks comes into play. There's nothing really bizarre about a reporter doing their due diligence. From what I've gathered, people questioned his confidence that there was no DLC development (well okay, some people also questioned his sanity/professionalism/credibility/manhood/right to exist, but you can't help those people), he wanted to make sure he wasn't assuming wrongly, rechecked with sources, then wrote about getting a specific confirmation.

The twitter thing is him clearly fascinated by the rationalizations and personal attacks. We're kind of a sad petri dish of nerdery that deserves some gawking at.

I'm trying to be objective, and I see that Jason has earned the benefit of the doubt, though I'd be super thrilled if he was wrong (and still holding diminishing hope that he is). Even if I found Jason to be the Worst Person EVAR, his record is what it is. Who he is and how he behaves on facacta social media has jackshit to do with anything (not that I think he's acted weird at all). I don't think it's bad that people are skeptical, but a lot of this has gone beyond reasonable skepticism and straight into denialism, and even a bit of conspiracy theory quackery and malicious lies. 

He is a high profile gaming press reporter, unfortunately, it's hard to ignore that train-wreck.

I will never trust a guy like this ever:

Whether we're just a bunch of sad nerds or not, the Twitter thing is incredibly unprofessional.

Lol. @kirkhamilton is probably his co-caster on that podcast.

Not really.

The best thing to do is give him attention but not in the manner he craves it. He craves an emotional bitter response, in part, to feed potential new articles. Don't give him that attention, give him attention by emailing his bosses at Kotaku to alert them to his unprofessional practices. He is getting attention, just not the kind he craves.

probably, the guy seems to be unable to accept that some people may not trust everything he says...

He's not.

This is a dumb post in a thread with many of them. Literally read a history book.
