So not only is he a corporate apologist, but he's also a bet welsher too.

 

[Risible]

So not only is he a corporate apologist, but he's also a bet welsher too.

One of the surest signs that I'm going to dislike a person is if I find out they are the type to welsh on a bet. Such a lowlife thing to do.

I've made some absolutely stupid bets in my day (culminating in me betting an entire paycheck on the lyrics to a song, and yes I was wrong) but you better believe I manned up on all of them. Ducking out on a bet is truly indicative of a person's character in my opinion.

How about you find any example of me saying "secret sauce," ever. I will paypal you ten dollars if you do.

Is this it?

Still waiting for the apology

 

[Replicant]

Hmmmm, secret sauce:

Gies? Apologize? He's only moved the goalposts. He always moves the goalposts.

 

[Rebel Leader]

Hmmmm, secret sauce:

He still owes a GAFer $10

-9000/10


Horrible

 

[Mr.Squirrel]

8GB got me eating crow. I honestly thought anybody asking for more than 2GB were idiots. Color me shocked

 

[jett]

Can't even honor a $10 bet? No wonder he's shilling hard for EA, Polygon must not pay much. :/

 

[DieH@rd]

Nobody expected 8gig. Not even me.

Crazy move by Sony, we will get awesome games this gen.

Gobbling Gies' Secret Sauce

 

[C Jones]

He still didn't pay up? Unreal.

 

[Jharp]

Oh god, Gies + GAF is my favorite gaming couple ever.

Crazy thing is, if he just took his own ego down a peg or two, admitted he was wrong, and paid this guy the $10 he owes him, he'd probably stop getting as much shit as he did. You know, if he stopped acting like a dipshit.

Shame that people are constantly calling him different racial and homophobic slurs on twitter though. I only imagine it makes him feel justified, like he's engaging in some sort of noble fight in the face of overwhelming odds. Talk about a fucking superiority complex.

Hmmmm, secret sauce:

Good thing you took a pic, just in case he decides to edit the original post XD

 

[Corky]

Hopefully he's keeping his gob shut ( I don't know, I don't use twitter ) by now because we've churned that dead horse to dust by now.

With regards to the thread, I'm definitely eating crow - in the best possible way - as I laughed at the idea of 4gb let alone 8 gb ddr5 GAF ™.

[Aselith]

Gies should pay up. He got caught slippin now he pays the price with his podcast/new computer money.

 

[ClovingWestbrook]

Did Gies ever fess up on this one?

 

[Freshmaker]

Did Gies ever fess up on this one?

He was quoting an unnamed, not referenced source so it doesn't count.

Did Gies ever fess up on this one?

No.

On the eve of the Xbox One launch and the money that Polygon is sure to make with its coverage, I just wanted to remind Arthur Gies of the bet that he welched on. Hopefully, he will not only try and do the right thing with honoring this bet, but also up the quality and "objectivity" of Polygon's coverage of ALL systems.

Quoting someone else! WITH ACTUAL QUOTE MARKS. I'll let mods decide on that one, but I don't think that counts...

We don't like to get in the habit of sanctioning bets between individuals with moderation or anything, so this is my contribution as a neutral observer. You did say:



complete with the quote marks, and that's exactly what he found! Lol.

What i don't understand is why he just won't pay up to put this to rest. If you are wrong you are wrong. Put the money up homie and move on. Neogaf will think better of you for it.

Honestly I don't even really mind Gies much. However, he should make right on this bet.

 

[Demon Ice]

What i don't understand is why he just won't pay up to put this to rest.

Because he went to the same PR school that Microsoft goes to.

 

[Ein Bear]

Gies should pay up. Can't he just get his $10 back from Microsoft anyway?

 

[titusandronicus]

Best necro bump.

 

[akira28]

I guess he's contending that he wasn't saying 'secret sauce', but was quoting someone else's phrase?

 

[Bluemercury]

Whats the story of polygon and MS?

 

[titusandronicus]

Whats the story of polygon and MS?

Got endorsed by Microsoft to the tune of 750k.

 

[Live Free or Die]

Whats the story of polygon and MS?

I think ms started up the site or gave money to start the site up. Something like that?

 

[Skel1ingt0n]

lol... who the hell backtracks on a ten buck bet?! Pathetic. Just pay up, dude.
