It would appear that the console wars extend further than any of us realized, but that’s the reason given — we’re a Microsoft-focused (but not -owned, I should point out) publication, and they are a PlayStation-creating company (but not the same business division, I should point out), so…just no. “I have to support our friends over at our sister company,” said the representative.

I can’t believe I just did something that hundreds of thousands of people have been waiting years to do. I can’t believe I just did something that I’VE been waiting years to do. It was one of those epiphany moments when I got really, really happy and realised how much I loved my job.
