Edit 5: "Those two things (the blacklisting and Sony's denial) are completely different. The statement is very official, it's Sony's stance. The blacklisting is just Sony France's PR department getting fed up with my articles (they already blacklisted me in the past for an article on PS VR, for instance)": https://twitter.com/Willvs/status/953322730576842752
Edit 4: "- So your sources abandoned you? - Nope. I guess someone changed his mind after GI covered it." https://twitter.com/Willvs/status/953012935600852993
Edit 3: William Audureau tweeted: "Sony France's PR representative just texted me. It's "super false" that I'm blacklisted, he affirmed". https://twitter.com/willvs/status/952985179739574272
Edit 2: Audureau said got the news from internal sources at Sony: https://twitter.com/Willvs/status/952986137202749440
Edit: I previously said Sony blacklisted Gamekult for giving Beyond: Two Souls a 6/10. That was a mistake on my part, it was actually Heavy Rain (Source: https://beta.arretsurimages.net/articles/sony-fait-pression-sur-un-site-dedie-aux-jeux-video)
William Audureau (journalist for Le Monde) just tweeted this:

Reminds me of when Sony blacklisted Gamekult when they gave Heavy Rain a 6/10 score: http://n4g.com/news/470886/gamekult-co-founder-responds-to-sony-blacklist
Mod Edit: For further clarification. Keep in mind, Le Monde is a reputable newspaper.
"(I've been blacklisted) according to sources close to the case , as we'd say politely" .

If your sole purpose posting in this thread is to trying to discredit a reputable journalist from one of the biggest and most respected newspapers in the world for not exposing his sources, or checking any other item on your list of things someone has to have achieved in order to make you believe them, you'll get warned.
A lot of this seems to stem from an urge to defend a preferred company and ignoring the article and the writer's comments. If this continues, we'll have to enforce harsher methods to keep this thread on its tracks. Thanks and please continue to discuss!
From here on out, any posts attempting to discredit Le Monde or William Audureau will result in a ban. Please bear this in mind, thank you.
