they just keep activating their sleeper accounts whenever they get banned anyway with all these alts, truly a scummy tactic by Xbox

Why do you guys keep saying this is a tactic by Ms/Xbox? You don't think this is just one crazy person with too much time on their hands?

Nevermind he has also been used by Microsoft as a witness before, which is a conflict of interest

The entertainment factor of this thread is astonishingly high considering how little news there are on the subject.
It works almost as one of those lanterns that draws insects closer, goes *bzzt* and the insects are disintegrated in a puff of smoke only it draws in the worst shills instead of insects an instead of meeting their maker in a flourescent light they face something worse - getting ridiculed without being able to defend themselves.

No, its reality that MS hires people like him.

Has the stuff in his profile ever been verified or is he just full of beans?

They've got caught astroturfing before. That's not proof or anything but the weird influx of drive by posters and this kind of stuff is highly suspicious.

Florian was definitely following a script. Engage in conversation that puts Microsoft in positive light. Ridicule and shut down conversation that is negative. And get as many weak-minded fools as he can believing his bullshit, which, as we have seen, isn't hard to do.

Microsoft caught ‘astroturfing’ bloggers again to promote Internet Explorer
Microsoft pitches a high-profile venture capitalist to write paid blogs about its new Internet Explorer browser experience.

There is practically no chance that MS are paying people to post on Neogaf in paticular.

The guy who you called smart is caught using his account here.
The man shafted you hard man.
Florian has literally been quoted by judges and lawyers in other patent cases. Yes he's smart. Why can't he have an account here?
Was he promoting his own stuff? Just getting wind of everything now.

they probably are, wouldn’t be the first time
IIRC a bunch of astroturfers got busted & banned back around the start of the PS4/Xbox One gen as well ~10 years ago

That is weird. Is this your reaction?
That famous guy is shilling for MS. Isnt that a weird thing to do, if judges knows your name?
People shill for corporations all the time and for free. I honestly couldn't care less. I have strong reasoned opinions that are not easily swayed. I always judge the content of the message no matter who it's from. That goes for news, politics, whatever.

Man, that is not how judging works.
The man is on conflict of interest. His opinions means shit, when he shills for MS like that. You need to be impartial if you want people to believe you. That is 101 lawyer.

I can't say why just trust me that it is unlikely.
Ok that post was asinine.Still need to dodge the ban stick
Reddit he didn't hold back
I don't disagree with you at all. It's unprofessional. But that doesn't mean everything he says is incorrect either. Like I stated before we should all take everything from most analysts or commentators with a grain of salt. Florian aint the first diehard fanboy on either side.

For the record, I was just joking about you being an ALT of SoloKingRobert since you are such a big fan of Florian. I wasn't being serious.
Cool. I know people don't like my opinions around here but they are indeed my own.

I'm not amazed, because I lived through the HD DVD vs. Blu-ray format war. MS did the exact same tactics during that, nothing has changed since then.
I will never cease to be amazed by the amount of people Microsoft has in the bag doing the astroturfing for them at multiple levels. They're basically dedicating their life to the cause...
