Schreier's account certainly sounds more believable than Taylor's, because we already know that Platinum could get Hale for the job, who would definitely be more expensive to hire.
Taylor's reaction that Platinum is trying to save their game is laughable. If anything, controversy is much more likely to be beneficial for games that fly under the radar and we know that the Bayonetta games belong into that category. Aside from a dedictated small following on the internet, Bayonetta is just not a big deal in the broader video game market. But this story here has provided much more exposure for the Bayonetta series than the B3 marketing budget ever could hope for to achieve.
Taylor's reaction that Platinum is trying to save their ass is similarly laughable, because anyone somewhat familiar with Hideki Kamiya knows that respectable PR work is a completely foreign concept to him.
Legend11 correctly predicted that GTA IV will outsell Super Smash Bros. Brawl. I was wrong.
