No, they're definitely pro-MS. I don't see how you can conclude otherwise. I'm not saying the majority of the userbase there is, FWIW; however the select choice members who are, are emboldened and supported in their rhetoric by the moderators and admin, and that therein permeates throughout the whole website.
Any particular PS topic always, eventually gets tinged into negativity, usually in relation to Xbox. Why are they still so obsessed with calling the PS5 "ugly" for example after almost three years? You've already expressed your thoughts on that back at launch; nothing's changed since so what's the point in obsessing on that especially if it's just a merry-go-round to clown on the system for any perceivable thing?
Really, how they handle the ABK thread for the acquisition tells a lot, then the other day when the weekly Japan sales came out posters immediately jumped on the theories of PS5 demand "drying up", scalpers, etc. despite all systems were down compared to the previous week (to my knowledge) and Xbox numbers in particular were just abysmal. But you can also pick up on some general anti-PS sentiment in various other threads on the gaming side, if you can stomach to read the drivel long enough.
If they aren't pro-MS, they're at the very least increasingly anti-PS but I guess that is what happens when you create a space that attracts certain persuasions of gamers, when admin and mod staff steer discussions a certain way themselves to form specific narratives, etc.
They might do something of an announcement for their planned big showcase that's supposed to come before E3 (as the rumors go). That would seem like a good time frame to make such announcements.
Especially when they're strongly affiliated in a deal with a $2 trillion conglomerate.
