Well, I was being hyperbolic with that claim, for sure. But I'm just trying to say that they would be more lenient with someone of his stature (if he wasn't such a shithead but let's just say didn't care too much about specific pronouns) if they were pro-MS/Xbox versus being pro-Sony/PlayStation.

Remember the "culture of cancellation" quote that ResetERA flipped out over when Phil Spencer said it in a speech earlier this year? If that were Jim Ryan who said it, they'd of probably had banned specific mention of his name across the whole forum. You could only refer to him as "JR" or "that guy who runs PlayStation", most likely.

That Phil Spencer quote was most likely taken out of context (though it IS still very odd wording...I wouldn't say there was ever a culture around games being cancelled in the past. Games just...get cancelled :/), but so was Jim Ryan's email. Very easy to see the difference in how those two situations were handled long-term on that forum, though.



You forgot a few: Destin Legaire, Lulu Cheng Meservey, PostUp, Hoeg's Law, Tom Warren, KidSmoove, BoomstickXL.
Or just look at @xboxP3 twitter following list and just follow all of them to create one big echo chamber which would automatically include all suggested above plus more

I don’t know what is richer, the talk the last few pages about how Xbox has fans that are delusional, whales, committed to the brand, etc, as if you can’t find the exact same types of people in the Sony or Nintendo camps…

Or that the talk is between massive Sony warriors, many of which are permanently banned from various communities for the exact type of behavior and delusional takes you’re making fun of seeing on twitter. When I saw this place being advertised on GAF I thought maybe it was a cool new community with less rules. It’s become blatantly obvious it’s a circle jerk for Sony warriors after other places have had enough of their trash.

Yeah let's just ignore that he is a chud and keep promoting his content.


Yes, gamergater.

You seem to only post in this thread since your account was made a couple of months ago, whose banned alt are you?

And gets thread banned for antagonizing another user and "post shaming"? lol.....man the mods over at ree make up anything and ban you over it. I'm starting to loathe that place. 100% echo chamber.

Sounds like a shitty post to me. I think banning for it is bad but I'd far rather that than them headhunting "gamergators" or whatever retarded witchhunt he was on about.

Sad to see you go but,

This forum has a dedicated group of gamers, that hate to see what Microsoft is doing to the gaming world.

Microsoft doesn't care about games or gamers, they don't care about you either.

What saddens me the most is people like yourself can't see the forest from the trees, it's the defend at all costs the billion-dollar company that is trying to monopolize the gaming sector and frankly put, trying to use their vast wealth to buy their way to the top.

I have personally been affected by Microsoft and their shitty deal, as a fan of elder scrolls, doom, quake, and dishonored I now have the prospect of not playing any of those future titles because of a company's greed.

Starfield was a game that I would have liked to play, but now it's not on PlayStation either, it would of been, thanks Phil for the play anywhere on anything quote bullshit.

Microsoft is a predator, and people like yourself are defending their actions because of your attachment to a piece of plastic.

sorry to be so blunt here, but you are basically a Turkey voting for Christmas.

Well said. Im new to this forum and from the threads that I read so far, this is a place for gamers that enjoy playing and talking about games. The only ones that is always disruptive to the topic always represent a certain company. I wonder why is that? Why cant they just create topics/threads and have discussions on here an co exist without having to result to using insults just because we don't collective agree with them.

As i said before I don't support this acquisition because instead of naturally growing successful market share of the gaming business, They trying to enter a cheat code to corner the market.

Up, Up, Down, Down, Left, Right Left, Right (B)uy (A)ctivision, start.

Question for the thread: how many successful franchises has Microsoft created, not acquired?
