One thing I have noticed becoming more and more popular on this site is the use of the term "fanboy" in discussions. People use it as if it gives them some kind of higher human authority because they have deemed themselves a righteous non-fanboy and the other person ignorant.
We need to get this straight right now. Calling someone a fanboy does not give you an automatic win in a conversation. In fact, it just makes you look dumb and unable to back yourself up with facts or good explanations. 90% of the time fanboy is used on here simply when somone disagrees with someone else and can not think of anything better to say. In fact, I think fanboys are one that use the term the most. This is not to say they do not exist, but just ignore them!
Look, if you do not have something good to say or can not back up your point, just don't say anything at all. These personal attack post where people just call each other names is just getting old. Can't we all just grow up.
I just had to get that off my chest because I have been really dissapointed with the attacking and low quality converstaions that have been happening here lately. Respect each other, we are all gamers.
Microsoft announced its financial results for Q3 of fiscal year 2026, including an update on its gaming Xbox business and more.
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.
Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.
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.
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
The charity event will be streamed live from Gamescom in August.
Thanks to the slip-up of an artist working on the title, we now have more evidence that a new Injustice game is in the works.
I wish you FANBOYS would stop pissing us FANBOYS off so much, GOD, your such FANBOYS!!!
Also Co cks.
Concerning fanboys and their ignorance:
"The Argument from Intimidation is a confession of intellectual impotence."
--Ayn Rand (1905 - 1982), The Virtue of Selfishness, 1964
"The thing I hate about an argument is that it always interrupts a discussion."
--G. K. Chesterton (1874 - 1936)
"No matter what side of the argument you are on, you always find people on your side that you wish were on the other."
--Jascha Heifetz (1901 - 1987)
And my favorite:
"It is impossible to defeat an ignorant man in argument."
--William G. McAdoo (1863 - 1941)
Your posts are often sensible and rational, without fanboy rhetoric. I think that's why you have 9 ignores. :)
Agreed. "Trolling" is another term that likes to get used a lot....
It was one reason why I "left" N4G for a few months. I got tired of seeing comparison videos this and which version sucks articles that it drove me crazy. Most of these people here aren't even fanboys they are just people trying to stir up arguements for no apparent reason.
Just don't let it affect you that much and know that there are people on here who do like discussions and try not to take everything seriously.. This is a gaming site after all.
I agree to an extent, but still this site atm is overrun with err how can i say Pro PS3 posters
Sometimes the moniker is well deserved!
