Too much thread shitting is my guess. He derailed quite a few with list wars.

What was the piece of information that Pete leaked regarding Col that was potentially career damaging, exactly?
Well all I see is some nice speculations, because Gaf was already talking about a possible paywall before E3 started.
How about you do it. You predict Sony's E3 line-up. Be sure to mention by name the presenter and the game title of the newly announced games that are revealed there. We wouldn't want to be soft.Your turn, guys.
You know how it's done. Get some money!
That was.. impressive.Your turn, guys.

I think of Dodd as a genuinely nice guy who just fucked up royal. I think it sucks for everyone involved and we should just let it rest. He was a pro-consumer kind of guy with no real agenda. I think he trusted his sources and made a bad error in judgement by talking about something that had no clear benefit beyond shutting up NEOGAF from wild speculation based on nothing. There is no need to apply some revisionist history to make him out to be anything more than that. I think we need to agree to move on from this quickly as it has been an embarrassment to Dodd, Neogaf, Col and anyone else affected. I don't want to prolong everyones suffering by talking about it for two weeks straight.
Or it could have something to do with a loophole involving egos growing two folds.what happened to GAF's "two sources" rule regarding leaks? is it like an honour system where once you are verified you are free to pull whatever you want out of your ass in order to stoke your waning relevance?

So he took the ~I heard they will have a paywall~ route, was lucky, and is a confirmed insider now.
Here is how you become an insider like atPeteDodd or thuway:
Read some old interviews and watch some old videos. [Damn, can't find the video interview of RAD with the ~want to top Naughty dog / be the new ND~]
Post some modified quotes of it on your twitter feed:
Wait until some small sites are writing an article about your ~insider news~:

The accusation that he was fired for poor performance when that wasn't the case. Pretty fucked up thing to do in the defense of a corporation (which is what the motivation seems to be). Even if it was true, I don't see the need to air that sort of laundry.
There was some kind of poor performance involved, potentially, right? I mean... Driveclub was supposed to come out almost six months ago. Things are definitely not working out over there like how it was planned. Please don't misconstrue this as defensive.
Or it could have something to do with a loophole involving egos growing two folds.
Oh.... It's that easy. Okay... When is the Last Guardian coming out? Is Activision ready to sell the Crash series back to Sony? Is that Rockstar exclusive game for PS4 real? What is Sony announcing at E3?
Surely you can read some of these articles and post something on your feed too as well right?
Oh geez... the PS4NoDRM conspiracy thread... Good thing the mods are paying close attention today, lots of information boundaries get a bit hazy when the disgrace-o-tron is running full speed...
TLG Holiday 2015
Yes.
GTA5 PS4 timed exclusive
GG RPG game, Media Molecule new game, Planetside 2, Everquest PS4 ports. Bunch of indie proper/timed exclusives for the PS4 and last year indie ports for the Vita.
mort started dropping info on his twitter feed more than GAF, presumably because he didnt have two sources to back them up. Besides that nobody (even the mods) have the ability to double-confirm your info all-the-time.well, regardless. dodd was a notorious sony fanboy who rolled out a serial quoted insider diatribe which threw professionals under bus in order to defend the fatherland. i thought there was a system of checks and balances set up (the "two sources" rule) and it seems like a pretty major failing if a red flag like that can just go through without at least being combed over.
i'm not privvy to the backroom workings of this machine, so maybe it was a case that his info did check out and it's just one of those unfortunate things.
Not even the mods have been spared.Yeah, basically all the crazies who have an ax to grind with Mort/Sony/Anybody have come out of the woodwork and turned the thread to shit.
Hahaha. The name "Knack" for a new IP for PS4 is now speculation? famousmortimer has to be a psychic then for predicting that. Also the post he made about the paywall was before the PS4 was even unveiled, not right before E3.Well all I see is some nice speculations, because Gaf was already talking about a possible paywall before E3 started.

So does this make you a Sony fanboy because your know this information?
If you are wrong, do you get banned?
Am I gullible for believing you instead of waiting for the actual words to come out the horses mouth?

I don't want to discredit famousmortimer for finding the name "Knack" but it was already found long before he actually named it. I am sure most of us could guess it was a new IP from Sony, as they trademarked it, just like The Order: 1886.Hahaha. The name "Knack" for a new IP for PS4 is now speculation? famousmortimer has to be a psychic then for predicting that. Also the post he made about the paywall was before the PS4 was even unveiled, not right before E3.
With the PS3 still chugging along, the PS4 right around the corner and the Vita being the Vita, Sonys development teams have never been so busy. Now, PSLS may have uncovered yet another game they are working on Knack.
The trademark filing by Sony Computer Entertainment America only happened this year, although weve also dug up a trademark for Knack in Europe by SCEE last October. Considering SCEE trademarked it first, its possible that a European studio is behind the game.
Knack doesnt exactly sound like an AAA game (we could be wrong), and could instead be a downloadable title the trademark does cover computer game software downloadable from a global computer network. We also dont know if this for PS3, PS Vita, PS Mobile or PS4 as trademarks dont list specific platforms.
Hopefully well find out soon, although unfortunately a correlation cant be drawn between the time of a trademark filing and the date of announcement some are done years in advance, others the very day before and some even after the game has been announced.
Still doing his list thingy?
I predict XB1 timed exclusive or at least multi.GTA5 PS4 timed exclusive
Fair enough. Says nothing about PS4 though. Especially since famous combined it with Infamous, KZ, Evolution and Bungie makes this a clear case of leakage (at least for me).I don't want to discredit famousmortimer for finding the name "Knack" but it was already found long before he actually named it.

Hopefully they don't. They are mostly garbage, but from time to time they dig up something interesting or translate interviews, post stuff from the E3 show floor etc.Hopefully Dualshockers gets banned after all of this.
Yes but delays are extremely common.
I don't think long delays like this are that common.
I was just pointing out that some of this stuff is out there, but it usually flies under the radar of most people. The name for Knack, The Order: 1886, DriveClub etc were all leaked before their official reveals. Same goes for the cancelled SSM IP, as people uncovered some stuff about it through Job Listings and Linkedin profiles.Fair enough. Says nothing about PS4 though.

Don't know about your other two examples but the interview you linked with this one isn't saying anything near what you believe it does. It's about PS4 vs. PS3. Xbox One isn't even mentioned in that article.Read some old interviews about Watch_Dogs being better on PS4:

6 months on a game that was supposed to come out at launch sounds pretty mainstream. I'm not saying it's nothing, but it's not -- in itself -- the kind of thing that gets people fired or pushed out. Games get delayed like this all the time.
We should also all be a little bit more humble about ourselves since almost nobody protested Pete's original post in which he, without malicious intent, threw Col under the bus.
It doesn't matter whether his information was correct or incorrect. It was irrelevant to us and potentially damaging to somebody's career. That was the actual fuck-up, and apparently it was a fuck-up that many of us would have made had we been in Pete's position. Otherwise, more of us would have protested the original post, but nobody (or only few) did. On the contrary, I liked the post and thought it was a rational rebuttal of all the doom-and-gloom hyperbole. I didn't realize from reading the post that disclosing such kind of information is not ok in general. And I guess that many of us dancing on the grave of Pete's account didn't realize that as well.

Again, don't read my post as discrediting mort, since it is not my intention at all
