Microsoft in a Pickle over Wikipedia Posts

Microsoft found itself amidst a raging controversy after it was disclosed that it offered a payment to a blogger to change technical articles about the company on Wikipedia, the community-produced Web encyclopedia site. Apparently, Microsoft was unhappy with certain articles about the company on Wikipedia and wanted to change them. It offered some monetary compensation to a blogger by name Rick Jelliffe to rectify the errors in the entries...

I knew they were desperate, i didin't releaise they were this desperate!

1.) No $$ actually changed hands
2.) This had nothing to do with gaming, or Sony, so the comparison to what Sony did is beyond retarded.
3.) MS wasn't trying to "pay off people to write good things about them", you illiterate moron. If you could f*cking comprehend plain English, you'd know they were trying to get FALSE, potentially damaging info CORRECTED, which they believed was posted by a competitor, IBM (maybe even Sony, you never know).

It's truly a shame your mother was too chicken to use that coat hanger. :o

Everyone just read that post and please move along.

I was just going to say this fool pulled this sh*t out of his ass. These Sony fans have trashed this site. I seen the story on AOTS on G4 this PS3 fan has twisted this to his cause. Has nothing to do with paying people to lie. lol AOTS had one of the big wiggs on the LOOP he never said anything this Fony(PS3alltheway) is saying.

I think its funny how sony boys search the web for bad Microsoft news!!! HAHA, thats pathetic!!! Get a life!

marionz7037d ago

like how they payed hush money so they could claim assasins creed and virtua fighter were exclusive just so they could keep a few fans from swaping consoles? its buisness and yes it gets dirty but who cares, sony made that fake site claiming to be a fan site? remember? sony is as dirty as anyone else! only difference is they overhype their consoles, claiming to be best when they usually arnt, thats why they keep some of the specs of the ps3 secret! and yes waitstation fans searching for bad MS news is sad! ever noticed how there is more REAL bad news for the ps3 then there is for the 360!

Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.

To me it's still quite remarkable how they can cash-in 5.3bn in revenue in a single quarter, since their hardware is basically dead.

The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.

Once they re-evaluate exclusive all will be fine….

S2Killinit6d ago

Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.

Jingsing6d ago

15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.

Tanktopmaster926d ago

These declines are on the back of extra revenue received from releasing games like Forza horizon 5 on PlayStation. So I’m being sarcastic here when I said they should go back to exclusives. Killing off a revenue stream from Ps5 sales will only make things worse
