Have you got a link to a relevant post about that? I didn't see any official 'Sticky' notice mentioning shills.

Please tell me that someone named MrNyarlathotep is not a plant. It sounds like he isn't being banned for that reason, necessarily, but still...that would be worldview-demolishing.

Moo.

HAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA. Wow that is absolutely amazing...

Look around, sparky.

That was also a common theme on neogaf. "oh you don't think this is that bad? You must be a schill"

That is the OP's point, the X1 is not being marketed toward hardcore gamers, thus hardcore gamers would realize they are "irrelevant." Y'all are saying the same thing.

I never fully understood the practice of plants in internet forums. Are they even that effective in changing people's minds?

Me thinking some these apologist is just Microsoft workers in disguise, trying to calm down and put down the fire in the internet from Microsoft ass.

I was thinking "that can't be real, that's too funny to be real." Sure enough, Simcity UK is a fan page. But to be fair, that fan page is probably run by an EA shill, and that sort of slip up could totally happen in real life.

Can you link it instead? I want to read this.

Still, how many people do you think, of the people who can't seem to fault the XBox One, are just plants? It'd be nice to know some stuff about that.

I could barely read it since it wouldn't expand, but that's pretty funny....and sadly, not surprising. :(

If those people simply shut up and bought the console, then nobody would have said a word. Instead, they say, that they are fine with it. For us, this is obnoxious, like pet sex is for most people. But unlike pet sex, one voice saying in public, that it is okay, to take away every bit of freedom we had as customers of…

That's freaking nuts! haha I hadn't even considered that companies might do that. It's brilliant really. And also quite nefarious. I hope NeoGAF finds them all!

I dunno, considering the blunders they've made so far...it's not out of the realm of possibility.

I just... WOW

Unless they ARE plants.

Perfectly said and something I catch hell for every time I say something similar.
