		Another case of malicious rumor distributed as "news."  The editors have added this: 
 
	Quote: 
	
	
		
			
				Update: We're happy to report that the person who started the bribe rumor on the Gamespot forums has admitted it was a lie, so we've removed mention of the rumor from this story. Their rumor post has also now been removed at Gamespot, and mention of it on the Gas Powered Games forum has also gone.

 Also gone is a reader's comment about the libelous nature of the article.

		Looks like that's gone now, too- I'm getting a 404 Error and a blank space where the article should be on Flash of Steel.

		There was a little problem with the permalinks. The new FoS link is:

(Not that it's much. Just a minor joke.)
