I am not up to speed on the "conspiracy theory" surrounding this story and I haven't played the game yet, but this is the first time I have ever seen a game company (or any company for that matter) come to the defense of a reviewer that gave their product a negative review. That definitely says something about the company.
Finally, we'd like to go on record and say that we value the freedoms of critics to make any review they see fit. It's best for the consumer and, ultimately, best for us. Although we may in some cases disagree or be disappointed by a review, this doesn't detract from the fact that reviewers should have absolute freedom to give their own opinions of a game, free from external duress of any kind.
