Thank you
I really shouldn't post in this thread anymore and I definitely should have picked my wording more carefully... You never quite know which sentence a journalist might pick up on and might turn into a saucy headline that might infuriate fans of some platform.
This is the second time already that I took part in some discussion on GAF only to then see something I thought was a somewhat innocent comment (again, calling a platform half-assed definitely wasn't the nicest way of putting things, I know. I'm not a native English speaker and sometimes my wording can come off as a bit rude) to blow up in my face after the press picked up on it. I'm just a dev who loves games and take part in these passionate discussions
Sorry if I offended anybody, wasn't my intention!
Don't worry about it all that much mate. You have to realize that it really isn't so much you rather just the fact that you are working for MS at the moment. This site is very heavily Sony biased. I've even seen the mods say as much. Thing is, people aren't taking the time to realize that this is a forum that you have been using to just chill and talk about games and stuff. I know you and know that you haven't been shilling or anything. It's sad that people's first reaction to a fellow human beings opinion of an inanimate object is to attack their character just because you are on the other team in their minds.
Only thing I know you could do to be able to just chill and talk about your hobby is to create an alt and don't say who you are. But I really don't like that idea and don't think you should have to do that.
I think the attacks on his character are fair. He doesn't sound professional at all even if what he's saying is eventually found to be true. Bashing the competition even if it is a rival looks bad and there's a reason other devs don't do it. He comes across as a console wars fanboy.
I've seen plenty of Sony fans themselves call the Pro half assed.
