My issue is that I can't take any pro-Xbox poster seriously now that I know they are using these tactics of paying morons to spread misinformation. It's extremely dangerous for honest discourse. It is blatantly obvious that Mage, Sage and now Robert are all on the pay roll. How many others? All of them?

And also, because they are paid, their is no real retribution for them to answer when they are wrong - they simply don't care if they are wrong because they are paid anyway, it's just on to the next lot of lies.

Ok why was it that MS was able to partner with companies that don't like Microsoft to make Cloud gaming work? Obvious answer is money and power. Why couldn't Sony use its dominance in the console market to do the same? This merger wouldn't be a discussion if Sony had done this, instead we're discussing fairness in a market they should have already entered say about 3 years ago.

Uh....I don't care. This isn't about Sony's cloud. Nothing you are posting is relevant.

That's funny considering the CMA are equally "experts" in all this and yet I've never said that in itself makes them right.

I'm no expert on the law and never claimed to be. That doesn't matter. I can read and I can come to my own conclusions. You really should try it and stop letting others do your thinking for you.

I was catching up and saw the screenshot he attached and I had a headscratch moment there. I was like "did this dude just reveal his identity or did he Photoshop it there as a joke or something?".

Now we know lmfao. I told you all this Florian dude is insane and will provide tons of laughs.

If I had to guess, he seems like the kind of person who sets google alerts on his name, and that's how he found this thread.

A spy story :pie_grinning_sweat:
But he's not the only one hiding his identity.
This thread is riddled with people with dormant accounts with 50-200 posts in years that suddenly have been activated by this particular discussion and all start defending and rooting for the acquisition.
I'm not even sure what's to gain here, it's not like trying to set/control a narrative here on gaf on this topic will change the outcome with the CMA.
Their efforts would be better spent at faking enthusiasm for other things Microsoft does.

Anyway if Microsoft pays me 2000$/h I could fake that I was so disappointed with the Playstation showcase that I'm buying a Series S :pie_roffles::pie_grinning_sweat:
 
Ok this dude is 100% paid by Microsoft, he isn't some Antitrust/aquisitions expert
It isn't even about the acquisition, this needs to be looked at, paying people like this to promote their stuff on forums
