The most simple way to look at this is to compare what they say to what they do. Exhibit A:

What they say:



What they do:

And for that individual it goes deeper than people realise but I won't go into it since it involves off-site drama on GT Planet where they operate under a different alias (they were part of a batch of users that literally infiltrated the website to talk non-stop about Forza at at time when only GT was discussed, hence the name of the website. It got so bad that at one point they had to make a spin-off website to house them which they argued against and didn't get much traffic so it was abandoned).

There are plenty of other examples like this. People need to open their eyes.

FuuuuuuUuuuuu
Look at them g'damned receipts !

Now, do Ozriel, Hendrick's (haven't seen him in ages) and a "couple" of others 😉

Just kidding, I actually dgaf, still, it's pretty interesting knowing what some of us already suspected

Honestly all this accusing people of being paid shills is getting so tiresome, especially when you look at who some of the users are who's doing the accusing (lol ironic much).

To my knowledge we have only had 1 confirmed paid shill on this forum, and i cant even remember which game it was but that user always defended it to the hilt, then in the end admitted he was a shill and never came back. In fact what his name who always defends Forspoken is very similar to that guy hmm.

Anyway is getting like a house of paranoia in here these days.:messenger_neutral:

I actually got called a shill yesterday for the first time lol, and all i was doing was discussing with someone where i see the long term future of gaming is going. It was nothing to do with Sony, Microsoft, Nintendo, or PC in paticular, it was gaming as a whole.
It actually made me laugh and yeah thats when the paranoia is getting too much.
Some people on here are honestly losing it.

Could be witnessing a brand collapse in terms of the console side of things.

I have to say I have also seen Series S consoles for £100 for over a year now.

This is pretty ludicrous, £65. That’s less than a game.

Yeah Xbox consoles popularity is below anything I've seen before, must be below the Wii U popularity right now in Europe. The series consoles just had a little momentum for 2 reasons : Gamepass, people were curious to try (and got tired of it), and because they couldn't purchase a PS5 and were tired to wait...

Since more than a year the PS5 is easy to get everywhere so nobody wants an xbox anymore.

I think some poeple need to accept that we have maybe 2 more hardware generations after this one, and thats talking like 20 years into the future. I'll be very surprised if one, or both, Xbox and Playstation are not streaming only by then.
Nintendo live in their own dream world so who knows what they will do.

You just have to remember how bad internet was 20 years ago to how it is today, then think what the internet will be like in 20 years from now.

Imo both Xbox and Playstation will be streaming subsciption services that you play on pretty much any of your devices. So slowly bring exclusive games to new players over the coming years, well that could certainly give you a head start when everything goes streaming only.

Just my personnal take of course. Its part of the reson why i'm PC only as no one owns PC and PC gamers simply wont accept a streaming only future when hardware is such an important part of gaming to them. And obviosly the gpu and cpu makers wont be pushing for a streaming only future on PC when hardware is their main business.
You say this as all movie streaming services are losing money, getting worse, and are not growing?

Hold up here! Why the fuck is everyone panicking over Microsoft doing exactly what their internal documents would say they'd do? And this will be a great cash flow for them. Although I will admit seeing Cult Eastwood on the verge of tears is fucking amazing haha.

Goodness Baby Jesus. Didn’t he request the ban?

Colt Eastwood has melted over this. Might try and find the clip and post it later.

Loads of donkey noises and then stuff like ‘console wars, my plastic box’ taking the piss (even though his entire life is dedicated to the war) before saying Xbox are playing a different game to the rest (similar to McCaffrey’s shilling above, must have got the message from above).
Sheep sheep sheep sheep sheep. What do sheeps say? They use the same script. Baaaaah. Must be getting ready for some multiplat directs coming up.
 
careful sunshine, i’ve tolerated your insolence for all of our amusement, but carry on and i’ll use my mind control powers on the mods to have you banned.

I knew it we have unlimited power over the mods here.

All I have to do is think of someone getting banned and it will happened.

Punished Miku Punished Miku is right. The community are the ones that hit the ban button not the mods.

:p

But seriously that doesn't happen here. Everyone sane knows that the mods make the final decision here on what happens to the user. The community really has no power when it comes to that. All we can do is point fingers at people and call for help.
