I can't wait for this deal to end. Sony can't announce the purchase of Square Enix because of this.

Always felt he was just placating to his Xbox fanbase since they're whales he can easily get money from. Though all of this has basically made me remove him as a legitimate source for gaming news, even WRT the acquisition.

And I'm keeping tabs on lots of people like that in case they decide to flip-flop and bring that type of energy to the PlayStation side of things. IMO we don't need that kind of energy in the hobby, period!

Xbots are a gullible cult that will happily donate money to your super chats as long as you tell them what they want to hear. Money they refuse to spend on games mind you. Hoeg isn’t an xbot, he’s a smart businessman exploiting an audience.


Once I noticed all the Xbox fans dropping $5 - $50 and gifting subs left and right in his super chat, I knew I could not rely on Hoeg for an unbiased opinion. He's just another lawyer except in this case he's getting paid by thousands of clients.

They probably spend more money in super chats than they do actually buying a game. Complain about the cost of quality games but I bet their super chat transaction history is embarrassing.

Xbots are deluded ffs


At least they’re showing their true colors, they want MS to really buy the whole industry

This is the fourth exact post I have seen in the last few days complaining about the performance of that game.

When are they going to learn, Sony's machine is just a better-engineered piece of kit and is easier for developers to work on with regards to getting the best performance for the games?

These people want to destroy the gaming industry by having Microsoft hoover up everything.

Sometimes I wonder how these people even tie their shoelaces in the morning.

Sony is paying devs for shoddy Xbox ports, that’s why they accused Microsoft of potentially doing the same with cod. It couldn’t possibly be the ps5 is better engineered for gaming, or the series s is actually a bottle neck, or devs put a priority Where the money is made. It’s just Sony being shady again.

Xbox fandom have been reduced to defending Michael pachter in that interview if
You want to get an idea of where their headspace is now.
It's truly insane. From Microsoft going to war with the uk to patcher being right in his analysis.

I really feel like the PS4 generation did some mental damage to some folks.

I think the Xbox fandom being this constant underdog mentality attracts already mentally damaged people, and I mean that in the the nicest way possible. It is a cult. You have cult leaders preying on people who probably need some counseling or help and has made them this radicalized fanboy that doesn’t even care about the end product or how it benefits them as long as the cult leaders get a perceived “win” then its all worth it.

And that is the crux of it.......getting a "win". No matter how it affects anyone else or even Xbox fans themselves in the future, it's all about getting a win.....at all costs.

They sold them the idea that the series x would be the most powerful console ever and they bought it and now reality is settling in. Ps5 is easier do program to. Easier to clean, easier to disassemble. It’s more user and developer friendly and the design is, even if uglier, more iconic.
The séries x in comparison is just a boring overengineered rectangle.
And to think Era believed this gen was won already just because MS had the cheaper series S and it played fifa and CoD and that was enough. Lol

not sure what kind of bad taste you have to be to say PS5 is ugly or uglier than SX.
