It's interesting that so many of us listen to the same podcasts as Colin does. Lex Fridman's podcast has gotten better and better over the years... love it

I work in media and one of the tenets of news reporting that is considered sacrosanct is the concept of "minimizing unneccesary harm." (Check the SPJ Code of Ethics for a more thorough explanation.) You mention the reporting of leaks in government that led to "CIA agents being disappeared," - and in those instances the mental calculus was that the public's right to know obviously trounced the value of the harm caused by the reporting. I agree, thoroughly, that the games media botched this whole Insomniac thing. It reeks of soft cronyism. However, I could be persuaded to think that they did the right thing, but for the wrong reason. An argument can be made that in reporting on the leaks, media empowers the hackers to continue their criminal deeds. (ie. the more damage done to Insomniac, the more seriously the hackers should be taken in the future by other companies). Consider the reason why news broadcasts don't report the names of mass shooters - they don't want to embolden copycat offenders. It goes without saying that none of this games industry stuff is as high stakes as those more dire examples. Anyways this was just food for thought. I think ethics in journalism are actually very tricky to nail down. I think that generally speaking your show handled it well. There's certainly palace intrigue with Sony and this revered developer - and as adults we can decide to ignore (in reporting and consuming media) all the personally damaging materials that were in the leak.
