By now, if you run around the geeky sites, you've probably seen that Sony has "blackballed" Kotaku. Like me, you probably wonder what the hell that meant. In sort, Kotaku is a gaming news web site, they went to Sony for confirmation of a rumor that they were going to publish, Sony sayd "Don't publish that", Kotaku did, and a Sony rep said:
...we will be canceling all further interviews for Kotaku staff at GDC and will be dis-inviting you to our media event next Tuesday. Until we can find a way to work better together, information provided to your site will only be that found in the public forum.
The whole thing is worth reading, but let's go a little bit beyond the meager implications of games. Let's go to, say, the Whitehouse press conferences, and think about who's invited and why...
