Yesterday we blogged about the feud between gaming bloggers Kotaku and Sony, over publishing of a rumor about “Playstation Home”. Just to update on the story and give it a happy ending. Sony have been in touch with Kotaku and have let Kotaku come to their party.

I want to thank Dave Karraker, head of SCEA PR, who was big enough to call me and talk the whole thing through after this exploded.
He told me his take on the story and his frustrations and I told him mine, in the end we agreed to disagree on some level, but also decided that our readers and gamers in general would be best served if Sony and Kotaku could still play nicely together.
In a nutshell: The story remains up and Sony has re-invited us to the meetings and interviews initially scheduled for the Game Developers Conference.
It’s unfortunate that we, not just Kotaku and Sony, but all of us had to go through this, but it’s good to see the outcome: We were doing our job and Sony was doing theirs and now we can both continue to do so.

Nice to see it end happily.
