Probably a good idea. Most rumors would have been what studio will face the axe next.

They literally threw nick under the bus and then ran him over with it at full speed by doing this. Protecting xbox at all costs because they're paid shills who must protect the xbox brand at all costs. I also think that threatening to mute someone makes you a pussy and it's pathetic behavior.

They received new marching orders I guess, no more controlled leaks to pre-emptively damage control bad announcements. Such a shame.

I'm not even a nick fan at all but i do think that trashing someone you've worked with for years and shitting on them to protect microsoft is pussy shit. I also found it hilarious how they said how nick loves to 'massage his ego' which i'm 100% sure is true, but they literally run a website and do a podcast that simps for xbox and is all about kissing xbox/microsofts ass lmao. So you're massaging microsofts ego and shilling for the xbox brand by being complete simps for them lol.

Apparently he's not fired i believe but they said that they'll mute his mic if he tries talking about rumors ever again on the podcast and they trashed him and threw him under the bus by calling him a liar and saying that he was damaging their reputation 'what reputation did they have to begin with besides being shills?'

Marching orders from microsoft. They probably threatened to stop giving away free copies and having people like phil spencer appear on their show.

Good ol Karma does enjoy settling things as they do when it comes to this stuff. Pretty crazy to see how everything is perfectly happening all around to enjoy everything without any BS like fake rumours stirring shite for no reason.

These people have children, I can't fathom why you put yourself for attention and everything first like this (coming as a new father and just look back at how stupid gaming ego stuff can do in terms of what really matters).
People just need to enjoy gaming on all good merits than just wanting to be sillly with drama on the behalf of corps.

You hurt their feelings by speaking the truth man. They're going to try having you muted next.

I guarantee you if the leak was positive, the guys at Xboxera would not react like this

Not at all.. is called "access media" and its what killed classic mainstream journalism and it also affects several youtubers, and why you just cant trust reviews/awards etc.
Ill always remember the podcast from some disney Star Wars fan (shill) that during a show immediately turned on the franchise when he was not invited for the third movie premiere or something like that, Kristian Harloff his name, he didnt even tried to hide it.

This entire saga is pathetic and shows again how much fake astroturfing there is, not that it was not already reported how much MS relies on paid shills on all sorts of media including forums on top of the people they "evangelised"…I'm not even a nick fan at all but i do think that trashing someone you've worked with for years and shitting on them to protect microsoft is pussy shit. I also found it hilarious how they said how nick loves to 'massage his ego' which i'm 100% sure is true, but they literally run a website and do a podcast that simps for xbox and is all about kissing xbox/microsofts ass lmao.

Sigh…

The astroturfing and shill marketing that microsoft pays for does more harm than good and i fail to understand why they utilize it. They give special benefits to clowns like jez corden, destin, colteastwood, parris, klobrille, etc etc and these guys look like straight clowns and are consistently embarrassing themselves and the xbox brand with constant cringe behavior. And the astroturfing they do isn't even subtle, it's so obvious that it borders on facepalm worthy on how on the nose it is.

Did seem rather quite passive agressive I never expected to see like that. Maybe just caught bad day kind of thing but they've been fairly close and all met up fair few times. Would be weird to end anything like that over video games if good mates unless it was just all ego.
But yeah, they mad.

I checked nicks twitter and he still has that he's a co-host of the podcast and that he still works for xboxEra. So essentially they trashed and ran over their co-worker who they're going to continue to work with after doing so lol. And as i said before, i'm not a nick fan but wasn't he the only reason people even gave a damn about that podcast to begin with because of the rumors he stirred up lol.

Just watched the clips and theres deffo something going on behind the scenes here. As soon as he mentioned it the other two hosts were trying to shut him down and said "You know nothing about xbox now"
Deffo seems like theres some infighting over this kind of stuff.

Hit and miss from what I've seen.
He was the 1st to talk about Helldivers 2 possibly going to Xbox, but then he nixed it at a later date, and then it turned out to be true after all.
I also remember him saying that a game will be revealed on an Xbox showcase that will please JRPG fans, people theorized a lot of pre-established stuff that didn't turn out to be true (like Skies of Arcadia etc), the game was actually Expedition 33 lol.
What's really fucking funny here is this comes right after he leaked that Fable is getting delayed, and this extreme knee-jerk reaction by his co-founders almost proves that the leak was correct enough to ruffle some feathers in Xbox management and get them to nix the segment all together lmfao.
It's a clown show all round tbh.

Not a good look to be honest.
That being said, has Nick been correct on anything though? He had some guesses and I believe those turned out to be correct, but any real insider info that turned out to be true? We never did that get that Gears collection, instead it's just Gears 1 again.

They're claiming he does all of this to massage his ego. They are fully throwing him under the bus.
I mean, we know these leakers are primarily going after clout but it looks like this has caused a serious stir.

Absolutely a possibility. Especially with how hard they are trying to disassociate themselves from Nick and quite openly silence him.

Just my 2 cents I think they are putting the muzzle on several people/sources/outlets

Wouldn't suprise me they want to control all the negative stuff that could impact their future releases and console so might have said a few things or whatever. Pathetic if that's the case to behave as such.
It seems you're holding a grudge about something... Are you okay, friend? Has the quote helped you feel better about yourself and believe in yourself as an example or a voice of authority?Luckily, we still have people like you,
I LOVE when one of the greatest exponents and examples on this forum of a completely biased person, a fanatical hater, uncritical of his favorite brand, with blatant double standards, think he is in a position to point fingers at others...
Then, I don't even know who or how reliable that insider Nick is (XboxEra for me is always a Big redflag), and I hadn't read this rumor that Fable could be moved to 2027... Since I have no knowledge and nothing is confirmed, all I can do is wait... You'll probably open a bet on "when will MS close Playground?" or "Will Fable be canceled?"... and then forget that you ever proposed something like that

Machine Games turning a profit broke you. Thats all you posted for a few months , how big a flop all those games were going to be.

You two have something special together. You should explore that and come closer together.
