People actually believed this kinda of nonsense even tho what was right in front of them showed us that could’ve never been true.

The amount of bullshit Phil Spencer spews from his mouth is ridiculous. He’s gotta go.

Go ahead… give him more awards for failing.

I wonder how many of us here caught a ban at various different forums arguing with, at the time unbeknownst us, xbox ambassadors and microsfot employees? Pointing out obvious truths and getting into heated debates just to try and log in and find out your banned while the person telling lies gets to goto spread the next lie?

I can safely say I haven’t, but only because I would NEVER sign up for Reeee and because my GAF account is STILL not approved coming up on 9 years of being registered!

I did get dogpiled and a week ban on Something Awful for saying MS shouldn’t have been allowed to release a console and that the Xbox is a cancer to the console ecosystem.

Exactly and the truth always comes out eventually...

But I think we always knew deep down that there was something going on behind the scenes. Some money changing hands in some way.

Nothing unexpected.

Phil n MS lying through their teeth - as expected.
False narrative push devoid of any factual back up - as expected.
Bots, turfers, and crazy fanatics amplifying - as expected.
Total backfire and loss of face - as expected.
Onto the next one (aka news cycle attention span of 0) - also expected.

Well two of them do start with the letter R.
Reddit and Resetera

Pretty typical, I posted in the ABK / MSFT sticky thread a screen of one user getting banned for saying the unionization talk was just being used as cover to get the deal through and would be forgotten about as soon as it got past regulators.

They silence a lot of people that make valid and quite often obviously true points.

The one positive thing I am seeing is that people opposed to the deal are calling out the shills in a lot of places, and people who were neutral are realizing how cancerous and corrupt Microsoft is.

I’m also laughing my ass off at the twats who think MS is just going to let Phil have that $70 bil to do with as he pleases when the deal is killed, and those morons usually tend to not understand the reason why no publishers are giving MS good marketing deals or times exclusives anymore.

4 Gaf accounts banned. I knew I was arguing with ambassadors though, adamsapple being one of them. I don't argue though, I ask tough or dumb questions then tie them up in logic.

When the shills were crowing about MS and Gamepass revenue, I pointed out how revenue isn't profit and asked what the profit of Gamepass is. The Shills went mental
