Ah, almost missed these.
No, BGs contributed to FUD with that statement. It's clear as day.
Fake
, you're right that no one has to believe them...so why are you bringing that up? Are you implying anyone who doesn't believe someone should just..... not say anything? Just stay silent? Sorry but free speech doesn't work that way.
If someone, regardless of their stature, has the freedom to post wrong information or speculation that doesn't have much room to exist since
actual info that contradicts it is out there, I have the freedom to speak up on it. It's that simple.
@Rusco Da Vino Look I know it's hard for someone such as yourself to have your own independent thought on these matters, but that doesn't mean the rest of us have that same issue. See how well the whole aspect of being vetted or not did for several insiders during the earlier parts of speculation here.
And I was one of the people who said, even then, that if they turned out to be wrong on some things, people shouldn't go out blaming them, attacking them, "shooting the messenger" more or less. But it's also been established early on I don't take someone's word as gospel just because they're a "vetted dev".
Oh and please tell me what PS5 FUD I've created? Go ahead, pull up my quotes. You won't find any. Anything I speculated about PS5 early on was framed as just that: speculation. And I almost always gave caveats with that, too. I didn't jump on the "PS5 has no hardware RT" train when that tried picking up steam. I never fully committed to the "PS5 is 9 TF" train, either. In fact I gave room for a 48 CU PS5 chip in my speculations, and that was weighed against the Github info AND the insider speculation, AND other things like the IT Media report and Bloomberg article (btw Jason Schreir is working there now so if someone wants to say the Bloomberg stuff isn't worth considering I hope they'll hold that consistent standard when Schreir starts his write-ups, or will Bloomberg mysteriously be credible when that happens?).
BTW you're one of the posters I was referring to earlier when I mentioned to
@BGs that his statements might negatively contribute to more FUD going forward. Just wanted to explicitly mention that.
This is a ridiculous statement, and maybe I was wrong in saying the thread wasn't full of FUD from some other posters after all. Go ahead, search my post history. Show me exactly where I accused EVERY insider of spreading FUD!
Good luck, because I
never said that. I said BGs made a statement today that, whether it was their intention or not, might contribute to future FUD in regards next-gen discussions. Apparently now that involves posters like you creating FUD against me as well.
So I think this'll be my final post in this thread. It's pretty obvious some of you guys have some twisted logic in trying to call me out on stuff I haven't even said, simply because I had the gall to disagree with BGs. And I still stand by that disagreement with them. They responded back, and I responded to their response. They clearly don't need you guys to white knight for them.
I agree, with moving on. I'm out of this thread. Knock yourselves out.
