That's the thing, even Eurogamer sound cautious and reserved in their report, where they cite the original leaker as having a "patchy" record.

Which is the correct journalistic approach; when something is unproven, treat it as such. A lot of people seem to be accepting this rumour as gospel before it's even verified.

Of Course they can act like it's officially thing and treated it like official thing, but they are confident enough in this rumour to make article about it.

Reporting a rumour as a rumour doesn't necessarily show supreme confidence in its veracity; if it turns out to be real they get credit for reporting it, if it turns out to be fake, they're covered because they never claimed to know for sure and even pointed out the original source's patchy record.

It would not surprise me if it's real, but there's no sense in treating it as confirmed before we know for sure, that's all I'm saying.
