Support NeoGAF

[GuardianE]

I doubt anything will come from this.

Are people swamping microsoft employees with tweets are is the damage done.

I think we would if we knew who to tweet.

 

[famousmortimer]

Has anyone tweeted BBC?

I had a tweet picked up by the BBC and put in their round up on the xbone. I was pretty proud of myself :lol

 

[paperboywriter]

Again, what kind of tweets are we sending to celebs? I don't know what to write.

something like

please support the campaign against anti consumer measures for playstation 4 #PS4NoDRM #PS4USEDGAMES

or

unite with us for consumer rights #PS4NoDRM #PS4USEDGAMES

 

[Baleoce]

Has anyone tweeted BBC?

Not sure. We should do all that tomorrow though for sure, when everyone's back to work. Relevant BBC contacts. O Brian, Linehan, Brooker etc.

Woah.

Someone should make a bitly link with publicly viewable statistics. That way Sony can see the reach of this campaign.

 

[mysteriousmage09]

Cool to see Angry Joe on board!

Sounds like a plan. Being off work tomorrow will make this much easier.

 

[paradise_circus]

there are still some cool tweets. even though many of them fighting still some consolewars.

but this is still my favourite:

 

[Andrefpvs]

Meanwhile at SCE:
"Damn it Kaz, your clearly-not-fake twitter account lost us another sale!"

 

[opticalmace]

Wow, I'm impressed. GAF using its power for good.

JOIN THE MOBILE INFANTRY!
I'm doing my part! Are you?

If they actually listen, this could be HUGE for them. I certainly will switch my primary console to Sony if all these MS user restrictions are in fact true.

Awww yisss!! Motherfuckin Joe!

The more the word is spread the better off we will be. At the very least people will be more educated about the current state of affairs.

 

[Rich!]

I'm signed off work for two weeks due to stress, after bottling a shoplifter in the face last night, and punching another out cold this morning.

still shook up, but gives me time to tweet and write a nice summary for a few guys who I know may help via media connections.

They screwed up the hashtag in the article. Now were gonna get people using the wrong one.

#noalwaysoncam
that's getting added in the next batch for sure

 

[jacksepticeye]

Angry Joe has made a much better introduction in this thread than Hip Hop Gamer did - haha. Dude dropped in with a link his video, his first post ever on the site, and zipped off into the sunset.

Can't stand him anyway. Actually I didn't like AngryJoe the first time I watched him either but I had the wrong mindset about him before watching and was told he was terrible by other people. The more I watched the more I realised they were dumb and Joe's actually a cool dude plus he's friends with the Nostalgia critic and that's always good

Welcome to GAF Joe.

You are awesome Joe!

I want to let you know that I watched your Angry Rant of the XBONE reveal more than once.

This video is so good, thank you! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9ekOtn7L1N0

Well? Mainstream-ish?

@Whiteboy7thst huge PlayStation fan and has 250,000 followers I already tweeted him

If someone has an account there they should leave a comment or something.

Hopefully they get that fixed.

Shouldn't there also be one of these for MS? Hell, they're the reason people are paranoid about Sony.

Dear Sir or Madame,
since you as an artist know how it is to get ripped off by evil publishers/ companies, we'd like you to join our internet army. We are fighting against DRM and want to keep our right to resell used games. We don't have a lot of money, since we have to spent it for HD TVs and other high tech shit. So it is important that we can sell our games for the highest price possible and no ones else gets a share from it.
Please support us, we need your voice to fight for the rights of the simple men.
We will start a shitstorm if you dont accept immediately.

Your gamerz

ps: this is just for the PlayStation. Dont support something familiar for M$ fans if one of those guys asks you
pps: Nintendo is so stupid. No EA games. Lol

Who do I respectfully tweet about region free? I doubt they'll entirely remove DRM but for the love of fuck I NEED region free.

 

[Orpheus Telos]

Well it's not really the biggest deal if people use the wrong tag, it's more important that they are voicing their concerns. I'm just surprised they got such a simple thing wrong in the article.

To be fair no one here expects them to completely remove DRM, we just want used games and the lack of region restriction to stay as they are on the PS3.

 

[Lucid07]

Has anyone tried tweeting Jonathan Ross @wossy? He's a big gamer.

 

[Jake Tower]

The idea about tweeting these to celebrities is actually a really good one. Who do we know is a gamer? Zachary Levi? Elijah Wood? A ton of NBA/NFL players?

Let's get Vin Diesel on our side.

 

[Bunta]

Let's get Vin Diesel on our side.

They got the hashtag wrong.

 

[ReaperXL7]

Anyone think James from AVGN would join in on this? I dont know how much he games on current gen,or his interest in the next consoles, but probably could not hurt!

 

[mr_nothin]

#noalwaysoncam
that's getting added in the next batch for sure

Lets stay focused guys. Dont try to start adding more msgs to the cause and making it too convoluted. We dont want the message to get diluted

 

[Mik2121]

Very impressive stuff, guys. It would be nice to see some sort of reaction to this at E3. Best if they already had planned not to use this DRM stuff, they could announce it in a way that made it sound like they were listening to us, hehehe.

Anyway, I definitely hope this works. I plan on having the PS4 as my main console this gen just like the PS3 has been my main one.

 

[Zutroy]

@TheGadgetShow and it's host (and a gamer) @JasonBradbury may be good ones to try tomorrow.

I bought a team of cats just to hit my F5 button.

 

[Yawnier]

Most of the games he has in his videos are older ones, but I believe he is up to date with newer consoles too. Would be worth a shot I think.

We also already know that the cam isn't required.

Thank you. Mommy always told me so.


I'd look for the support of Chuck Norris and Mr. T. Don't try Nicolas Cage, think he is quite angry with internet peoples...

 

[Flightmare]

Just add #PS4RegionFree to your tweets

 

[Sickboy007]

I wrote this:

@consumerist please support our drive for consumer rights, first-sale right #PS4NoDRM see here:http://www.destructoid.com/gamers-make-it-clear-to-sony-they-want-a-drm-free-ps4-254624.phtml

[TimeEffect]

Well, its clear from Sony tweets that they welcome this idea of passionate PS gamers. People expect this oi of cold hearted, unreachable MS. But there is still hope for Sony as the good next door neighbour who will lend you their ear

Sony generally has a mich friendlier staff or at least they make their mark stronger on social media. Much higher Facebook fan count, Youtube presence is bigger, Twitter, etc.

People have lost hope for MS, let's hope Sony capitalizes:

We want New Game Bonuses, Not Used Game Restrictions if anything

 

[Orpheus Telos]

I was thinking about trying to get him on board, but his last tweet is from 2009. How else could we contact him quickly?
