I guess I'm also just tired of the whole "vague insider" shtick
Definitely agree. It's getting real tiresome seeing the same people spill vague details when they literally have very little concerns for restriction. CBOAT gives me hope of potentially sharing more substantial stuff, sooner than later considering the gif.

(Don't take this thread too seriously or that I glorify them)

Back in my lurker days I still remember the leaks that came out that made even Bish scared shitless just prior to the xbox one reveal.
 
you know the thing that really fucking me to about this whole insider bullshit is, people on this site or reset could EASILY confirm just simple numbers for us. But then you hear the whole "wellz i dunt wabtz my sources in trouble" BITCH i aint asking you for your source or his or her name, all I want is to confirm some damn numbers. How the fuck does that jeopardize their source?

The difference between an insider and a leaker. Incorrectly used interchangeably.

It really is not that simple.
 
There will be 100% something negative about Xbox. And something that can't be debunked before release of the Xbox.
He had a tendency to leak something negative about Xbox. Something that can't be debunked beforehand.
Like he said that black tusk game is behind schedule and in "development hell". Well, according to MS they weren't really developing something, just testing and prototyping. Just finding out what to develop.
So, either CBOAT lied or MS lied.
Still, his leak was negative about Xbox.
its no coincidence that he is coming RIGHT NOW back. Why? Because there have been so many positive leaks about Xbox and at the same time negative leaks about PlayStation 5, so they need to do some damage control.
 
Cboat's back!? Wow. Awesome guy.

He just sent me a picture of his last office party (one in the middle with the emerald green-yes he has breasts but don't judge ok).

Main thing is I'm sure he'll be unbiased to Xbox the same way he has always been.

I mean honestly—why wouldn't he be?? 🤔

Where ntkrnl? The real true leaker from last gen.

CBOAT lost all his clout when he started showing bias, and then got banned for posting false information.

I don't think CBOAT knows shit anymore, but I'm willing to be proven wrong.

Couldn't an Insider just provide real information next to some made up ones so they couldn't be caught?

For example, lets pretend I know the XSEX CPU clock speed. 2Ghz is the real answer, but I also explain that it's inbetween 1 ~ 3Ghz to throw people off.

MS/Sony can't sue someone if they just happened to make a lucky guess right?

Most of them don't actually know shit. CBOAT at one point had solid sources, but then it seems like he got fired and lost them all and went salty.

Thuway never had anything.

I can't remember the rest, everyone is a fake insider now.
 
I thought he was banned for spreading FUD?

Guess you need a leaker to stay relevant.

Buttocks are always great, let's not misunderstand that.
Him being banned for YEARS and mysteriously coming back now does raise an eyebrow.

Either the site changed its standards on insiders being accurate and reliable or banning him was a bad thing in the first place(which I am a proponent of) BECAUSE of those strict insider standards.

What happened?
Did Standards on this site change or did someone acknowledge that sometimes these standards may be wrong?

And IF they're wrong, which insiders do we trust?
Are they still checked?
Can any asshole just make shit up by claiming to be CBOAT?

I'd really love to welcome that one awesome guy back to GAF or where ever it would take him, but I still have my doubts as of now.

ntkrnl was the best.

I remember he (or she?) had a post with around 10 bullet points of Xbox One leaks and every one came true (or pretty darn close to it).

The current crop of insiders can't even agree on or tell gamers if 9.2TF or 12 TF is right for PS5, or even an accurate detail on one specific spec (if they don't want to out theselves telling everything).
