How is this fair when there is a disparity for members that have 8-10 bubbles like xHeavYx to members that have only 1-3 like myself? It is like playing bingo and some get only one sheet and some get 5.

Gazondaily3907d ago

Lol you're definitely going to win now!

It's a good point though but I guess you'll have to comment in loads of different articles to stand a chance?

coolbeans3907d ago

Sometimes you just gotta play the hand you're dealt. And let's not forget that 1-3 bubbles isn't a default, especially if you've been here for a long time to witness the 5 bubble reset and Cat even offering an extra bubble before she left to those who commented on her blog earlier this year.

If you (or other low-bubbled users) really want to even the odds against someone like xHeavyx, I figure the incentive's on you to make more worthwhile comments that engage with the community in a smart and considerate way.

Christopher3907d ago (Edited 3907d ago )

Life isn't fair.

What's funny?

Your comments in September - 216
Heavy's comments in September - 63

freshslicepizza3905d ago

interesting stats. funny how the one or two bubble users often comment the most.

chrisco84au3907d ago (Edited 3907d ago )

@Rookie -

It's called life. Not everything is equal mate. Make the best with what you have. Comments like the one I'm replying too will lead you to have 1 less bubble. Responsibility, take some, your bubbles, your responsibility.

And as said above.

You HAVE made more comments than Heavy..... So you have more chances.
Heavy, you are at a disadvantage to Rookie. /s

Good luck EVERYONE!!!!!

Heyxyz3907d ago

Because most people with a lot of bubbles comment often.

You need to comment in the first place to even get bubbles ya'know?

Crazyglues3906d ago (Edited 3906d ago )

@ Rookie_Monster... LoL

I could be wrong but I think the bubbles are only if your making a comment in the same post -(then you use up your bubbles) but if you go to another article and make another comment there it doesn't count against your bubbles..

So you could make a comment on every single article on the front page/ it only stops you from making more comments in the same post.

So you still have a high chance of wining if you just comment on all the other articles/ instead of just the one. You know how many articles come out in a Day...

But like I said I could be wrong maybe I just have enough bubbles that I never noticed but I think that is how it works..

"Also, technically, not the scariest month of the year (just ask any tax payer who doesn't want to be audited)."

And this is why I'd want to keep all (or most) horror-themed blogs+reviews to April. ;)

Nice bump in total winners for comments so interested to see how that turns out. Happy competing, all.

Geobros3906d ago

Another wonderful contest! Good luck to all members and be sure to follow the rules. :P

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

dveio48d ago

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.

Jingsing48d ago

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.

Tanktopmaster9248d ago

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

S2Killinit48d ago

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

Jingsing48d 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.

Tanktopmaster9247d 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
