Let The Speculation Begin

I feel like Marcus Beer and Sessler are talking about two completely different things.

Sessler is being dramatic and "woe is me, my livelihood is over", whereas Marcus makes this seem like more of an inconvenience and an attack on journalistic integrity (LMAO). I wish these journalists were more transparent. If they see something wrong with the situation, why not write an article about it and let the public know? As far as I know - Adam's bitching about something that must not be a big deal.

I agree with you that it seems like Sessler and Beer are talking about two different things but I disagree with the implication that what Beer is talking about is an inconvenience.

It seems as if Sony is waiting until two days before the PS4 is released to either remove an embargo or possibly provide review systems for journalists.  There were some tweets Beer made which I read, and the implication seemed to me to be game related.  But the article he written that Koweniki linked to seems to suggest journalists don't have review systems. 

That isn't good.  Microsoft sent out review systems months ago.  Journalists have been playing with them for sometime.  Many publishing videos and reviews on the features they're permitted to talk about. 

This may all come to pass as nothing more than a momentary timing issue but if Sony is delaying until the last minute for other reasons, then it may blow up in their face.
