JUST KEEP DIGGING MICROSOFT

There are now reports of microsft employees crashing the best buy nintendo e3 event to promote the xbone
http://www.gonintendo.com/?mode=viewstory&id=205110
and some people are telling me that microsoft employees are invading places like reddit to defend the xbone

 

I heard that part, about the invasion of places by people paid by Microsoft.

I also heard they have a MS sponsored forum and people are still bashing the Xbox One.


If this is true: What in the **** are they smoking?

 

Money.

 

Probably some other things tossed in.

****ing God... Just... Wow... I gotta stop because I think some people will be ticked who I keep sending this too. But wow...

I have a feeling a lot of the gamers are going to sit down in front of a camera and just justifiably bash MS for an hour about the One and their stupidity.

 

The full list of supported countries is Australia, Austria, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Mexico, Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Russia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, United Kingdom, and United States.

Screw all these game consoles. I'm going to share my rocks with my friends.

 

Also it doesn't even have an on button incase the voice recognition doesn't work.

 

You'll still make more money than Microsoft.

Spoiler: the best moneymaking gimmick in history

Projekt Red who is based in Poland and is doing the Witcher 3, was never told that their country is not on the launch list. They found out when the list went out. And Witcher is for the One.[DOUBLEPOST=1371175569][/DOUBLEPOST]

Don's not the only guy who's shooting himself in the foot with a machine gun. I can't believe that.

 

What I want to know is what was going through their heads when they came up with these terrible ideas? Did they honestly think it would be a good idea?

 

lmao... FTW!!!

This actually reminds me of the shitstorm when Windows 8/Satan came out. (Anyone who has this POS when it came out (me) with NO TOUCH SCREEN!!!) Knows what I'm talking about. Five days of cursing, yelling banging my head against a wall and tears and I still couldn't get it to work. (Sorry, I know I'm ranting.) I finally found a program that gave you back the start screen for five bucks by another company whose motto was: "We all saw the complaints about Windows 8 and fixed them." And they did, I have used this computer ever since then without a hitch.

They saw this coming, they saw it coming a mile away with the Beta and they refused to fix it. They insisted on plowing on and not care about what the complaints were. This is a company that dominated the market for 30 years, this is a company that made me love Windows 7 until I was forced to upgrade. This is a company that made me love FPS's which I swore to myself I'd always hate.

And now in the next generation, I find myself loathing them. Not only their policies, but the outright insults to people who don't live like they do. The insults to people who live on the East Coast even in rich areas. A storm hit yesterday that knocked out a lot of power on the South part of the East Coast. They're not going to get it back today. The bullying they're trying to force on people and the bribes I'm hearing about to have people make their product something it's not.

I never thought I would despise MS as much as I do right now.

 

Presumably so. These ideas come through with a wave of attempting to move the industry forward with measures that depend on a nigh-complete digitization, with the result being cracking down on profiting off of places one can profit from while removing any other minor possibility of fund diversions and the such. The Xbox One is essentially a console that attempts to focus on markets via top-down control rather than the more bottom-up consumer control and freedom that we are used to and prefer (though it can be argued that consoles in general are inclining towards the top-down). It was not necessarily the wisest of business decisions in an industry where gradual transitions work better than immediate black-and-white changes. The obsession over control results in a very restrictive, anti-consumer atmosphere, which is why everyone is slinging stones at the One like it is a slab of rotting Icelandic shark meat buried in the sand for six months.

 

Digging what? Holes?

 

Their own grave

 

Yes. Microsoft is full of dwarves after all.

 

What I think Microsoft is thinking right now is:

"Everyone lives in California and the other high tech Internet/cell phone places where it's never down more than a few hours."

I live on the East Coast, I got a breath of Superstorm Sandy thankfully, but two states south of me were so badly hit they're still fixing the problems on the coast. NJ had their Internet down for weeks, their cell phone towers as long. NY had the same problems. There's blizzards that hit this coast so hard and so badly you can't do anything for days, not even contact people. I am not even talking about hurricanes which we're starting the season of this month. Hell, a storm in the southern part of the East Coast knocked out power yesterday and most likely still being fixed.

I haven't even mentioned the middle of the States with the tornado problems there.

All these things make your One a 500 dollar paperweight. People around here won't buy a system if they know you have all these ridiculous conditions and gaming stores and other companies are telling consumers the same thing.

If they're depending on the U.S. or anyone else to pick up their slack, they're in for a nasty surprise.

 

I don't get why they're releasing in Canada
our internet is terrible

 

Dude, they're releasing in Brazil...

And I have friends there who use dial-up still with poor Internet.I know some places are getting better, but most of it is pretty bad. A lot of the countries they're releasing to don't have good Internet.
