I know, I even noted (or at least thought I did) that the story was rather believable.I was just wondering if there was a non-Kotaku source of it.

Kotaku should be reliable enough for that kind of story. The ones you want to ignore are the ones where they talk about feminism or sexism or "gaming is dead" or rah rah, blah blah blah...

Anything sensationalist. Because remember, Kotaku has multiple writers. Some focus on the industry, some on sensationalist bullshit, and some do a mix of both.
