Well Folks, I'd thought you would like to know a little about Astro.Turfing. -A fake Grass Roots effort, usually in the comment sections (of all web sites). aka. Astro Turffers aka. Tr0lls aka. p0sers aka. fake persona/s - (Reputation Management) -
Big Tobbaco did it. the U>S>gov; does it, and refines it (0peration Metal Gear - http://www.tgdaily.com/secu... ).
M$ invented it.

I notice Astro Turfing all the time, on Many, Many sites..
They play the victim, They play the bully, They even play the intellect. Most of all, -The most cunning and deceptive Charade of it all,. is when they play the roll of the Consumer (when in fact it's stealth Marketing).
I noticed new members, and classify as *Suspect.

In this Thread? http://n4g.com/news/1477639... (I only read the first 3 comments, and noticed the 2nd two had 'funny' up.ticks... Only to find them, well not-so-funny.)
?Challenge for the thread. Let's make it all the way to the last comment without anybody telling anybody else that they suck/lack intelligence/deserve to die because they bought one console rather than another. ?
?You suck and lack intelligence but don't deserve death what you deserve is a fate worse than death for your irresponsible purchase of whichever console is not my console. You fail at life as a result of this. ? --'funny'--
? C-c-c-combo breaker! ?--,fuuny,--

The Reason I am writing this blog, is because we as a community should not have to be subjected to this kind of manipulation. Posers, acting like gamers, when in fact they are just pushing a product.
They don't play games, or "get gamers" just like the company they Pose for.

After Glow, Media (invite only) events, All Aboard the HYPE TRAIN!
The Hype Train is Real with Titan Fall,
If I say.. Hey lower plebs of the Gaming Media.. You can come play this awesome game with these devs, and pseudo celebs.. GET HYPED!
So the next day with the after glow still lingering , you give the game a 5/5 or 10/10, and look past screen tearing , and frame rate issues, because. AFTER GLOW, YO.
I still have after glow the next day, after getting the VIP treatment,. I would rate that experience a 10/10.
This is how the Microsoft hype machine works, and why so many of us 'Real Players of the Game' get so upset with it. We had it up to 'HERE' with the constant assault of dis-info agents. We as Enthusiast's should not have to put up with Agenda Drivin' Trolls, trying to push a product.
Kendra, and I. (after glow)
Gza, Genius, and I.. -after glow.
Bling, Bling. (not Mario. Microsoft)
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.
Very nice. I think more investigation needs to be done, as well. EA recently got caught astroturfing a few subreddits. I imagine that happens everywhere.
