TheGame:
I was referring to this Mailbag in which Matt said that he didn't know what was going on (or whether
anything was going on).
Quote:
I have been hearing rumors around the web that Nintendo "offered" Sega a lot of yen(money)if Sega would become 2nd-Party I just want to know if Nintendo did infact offer Sega money.
Matt responds: I have no idea. That rumor seems to have no real merit to it at this time. I also have no idea about whether or not Microsoft has bought Rare, is planning to buy Rare, or bought and then sold Rare to Activision, which then bought Microsoft.

Mailbag September 9th edition
At this time, I know that two other websites had already posted news stating that Microsoft had bought Rareware. I don't have links at the moment, but the fact that Matt mentions it in this mailbag answer even though it has nothing to do with the question asked of him suggests that he was aware of what other sites are saying.
Therefore, I say that just because Matt doesn't know about something doesn't mean it doesn't exist. Granted, in the above case, Matt confirmed everything just two days later. But he's not all-knowing.
