[The_Darkest_Red]

I am glad I was here to experience this wonderful GAF moment.

 

[Kabuki Quantum Lover]

SALMON

You're beautiful.

 

[dankir]

Hell hath no fury like the wrath of angry video game nerds.

[hardcastlemccormick]

So wait - this guy was actually doing PR work for Microsoft?

I see accusations like that all the time but I didn't think companies actually have people out there on forums parading their cause.

Oh yeah they do. I'm so happy with GAF's zero tolerance policy.

 

[Khalifa Jayy]

Damn. Bish please!

 

[MrCunningham]

Came here for the thread title, left with a smile on my face.

[ElectricBlanketFire]

These replies are so smug. I see plenty of valid point in the OP.

Bullet points?

 

[topplehat]

Wow at this whole thing.

 

[Uncle Rupee]

Amazing

 

[dark_prinny]

I love this fucking place.

:lol

 

[shandy706]

Could have sworn this was closed..and then...

TA-DA!!

..it isn't!!! LOL

Spoiler

I like that gif

 

[Richie]

Holy hell, dejavú.

 

[GameSeeker]

SEE THIS BARREL OF FISH

LET ME SHOOT IT

Watching Bish at work is a wonderful thing.

 

[eot]

Fucking astroturfers.

Kill 'em all.

 

[Pie and Beans]

Oh wow, was this confirmed astroturfing then? Amazing!

 

[Brad Grenz]

I always knew Titus was a self-important numbskull prone to bad faith arguments, but I am shocked to learn he was also a carpetbagging prat!

 

[GAMEPROFF]

Do I get this right? This dude was hired to make some good PR here?

 

[krypt0nian]

As if there isn't any here for the other brands

Could be. But not to the extent that we've actually FOUND for MS. So you can SONY Too and Nintendo Too (Samsung Too? LOL) all you want. It doesn't change anything.

 

[Unicorn]

Like, nothing says, "We deserve your money," more than paying someone to pretend to be an average Joe on GAF to persuade you.

 

[DoktorEvil]

So wait - this guy was actually doing PR work for Microsoft?

I see accusations like that all the time but I didn't think companies actually have people out there on forums parading their cause.

If he wasn't he probably shouldn't have registered under a PR email.

Still, it took 1,200 posts to get him.

A goddamn boss.

 

[plasmawave]

This is beyond embarrassing.

I like it.

 

[gruenel]

This thread was already hilarious. But now it totally made my day. <3 bish!

 

[ffdgh]

Haha oh wow...

 

[A-V-B]

As if there isn't any here for the other brands

Oh absolutely! But it's not like the mods can prove much of anything. But then a guy comes in with a prmax e-mail account and... well, I guess you go for whatever presents itself openly.

 

[Celegus]

Uh, what? Xbox One and PS4 both have zero games I care about.

Bravo to the thread title change, glad I caught it just before it was fixed!

 

[IISANDERII]

COME ON AT LEAST MAKE IT INTERESTING

Was it astroturfing?

 

[vcc]

So wait - this guy was actually doing PR work for Microsoft?

I get the feeling there are a lot of them out there. On reddit yesterday the /r/xboxone sub had 2 inexplicable 'MS won me over from Sony' threads which I'm almost certain are shill created.

 

[MormaPope]

These replies are so smug. I see plenty of valid point in the OP.

It was the overly aggressive and confrontational nature of the post itself. Not to mention it was an astroturfer the entire time.

 

[sixteen-bit]

These replies are so smug. I see plenty of valid point in the OP.

They're surely the words of a disinterested third party

 

[erpg]

Delicious schadenfreude.

 

[forms]

Holy shit bishop, this had me break down in laughter.

 

[Jotamide]

These threads man. Can't wait for the onslaught of bish gifs.

 

[Gator86]

Holy shit, I am dying.

 

[Mr_Antimatter]

Last year it was starting to become common.

Last fall was crazy. Pretty much every major tech site or gaming site's forums/comments were filled with obviously paid posters. Half felt like they were just copy/pasting from various press releases and talking points.

It was almost as bad as political sites.

 

[A Serious Man]

Fall back pr nerds

Hahahaha

 

[Kyoufu]

This is the best thing I've seen all day. Thank you Bish.

 

[Fey]

i agree with the OP

 

[Auto_aim1]

I heard the sound of Bish's lawnmower and came running to this thread. Wasn't disappointed.

 

[Cuyejo]

this is hilarious.

 

[Revolutionary]

One down, dozens more to go.

 

[Carl]

Dafuq is happening here.

 

[Maintenance]

Hahahaha, thanks Bish. It was glorious.

 

[SliceSabre]

This is honestly the first time I've ever witness astroturfing. Huh.

I'm impressed.

 

[The Elite]

I think Xbox One gets too much shit around here at times but this is just embarrassing.

 

[krypt0nian]

They are probably in a hiring period after Gamescom.

Resumes out, boys!

 

[Ray Wonder]

It was the overly aggressive and confrontation nature of the post itself. Not to mention it was an astroturfer the entire time.

I can agree with this.
