World of Warcraft team lead confirms Microsoft use bot farms to create Xbots

[Gods&Monsters]

Yes, Grummz. Known has MARK KERN who
Controversy: allegedly Pre-sold a $10,000 kickstarter pledge tier to a backer who he then banned from the game.
Second: was removed as CEO include squandering over a million dollars on a promotional bus for the Firefall game, which never functioned correctly and is widely regarded as a significant blunder.
Three: He was known has being one of the issues behind blizzard before he left in 2006, bullying, etc.
Four: It's not the first time he's got himself involved on something that a lot of attention on social media, for some reason he thinks it can bring him fans.
Last thing you should be doing is taking him serious.

Character assassination won't work. He has industry connection and he's one of the most important figure in Blizzard history. MS is literally trying to buy Blizzard.

The truth is out. Deal with it.

habe you seen the post history of this CUCO?

 

[John Elden Ring]

What proof he has on the bot thing? Bots have been plaguing the internet every since the early days. It really isnt an Xbox thing.

But yeah, a lot of Xbox fans are paid to be fans, which i always found weird.

Spoiler: spoiler

I would too if Microosft paid me money and games to like them on social media

I can see this being true. It's in how much XBox is praised relative to their user base on social media, the formation of narratives and scripts around things like Game Pass and the acquisitions, and the 'evil Sony' mantra. There's patterns that develop which make it stand out.

A good example is Game Pass. For quite some time, it absolutely dominated gaming discussion. There was the catchphrase (best deal in gaming), regular gushing about money saved, how developers loved it, how pro-consumer it was, how smart it was to put first-party on day one, and complaining that MS rivals didn't do it too. A lot of the claims made no sense, though - how games sell more when they're on the service, how developers loved it when it would cost them direct sales, how it was pro-consumer, the fact that putting games on day one would drastically decrease profitability, etc. Then, when MS was forced to admit it bleeds money, cannibalizes games sales, and developers stepped forward to criticize it - all that stopped. No use in continuing to spread lies when the truth is already out so that particular astroturfing campaign was scrapped.

It's all so organized with utterly clear motives. Though, I think along with bots there is a sizable portion of shills and paid media too.

Who cares, you people care more about nothing more then you care about playing games. None of this will ever matter

It matters enough for you to leave a comment and generalize an entire community of people.

It's a gaming forum, not everything needs to about people playing games. The tweet matters... Your comment on the other hand doesn't.

And this is definitely true. I remember them getting exposed for doing this on GAF? (Correct me if wrong).

The onlinr Xbox base is way too broad in scope for their not to be some astroturfing campaign.

They already started this "evangelism" (as Phil calls it) back in 2014. GAF was a big deal back then and it was a breeding ground for xbots. It was all about making Phil a holy figure.

The Phil Spencer Effect has two sides. The one in your post and the other is: "Where the fuck are the games?"

 

[Gods&Monsters]

What the hell is this?

The beginning of the Phil Spencer worship and religion. It started there and it grew until the consecration with Game Pass, then the propaganda was everywhere and every gaming community was infected by these zealots.

I wouldn't be surprised if people like Adamsapple literally masturbate thinking about Phil.
