@reelrorymercury@pcgamer And it's not just gaming, similar pattern accross the industry
Journalism 101:
US Big Tech: roadmap, infrastructure, strategy, expansion
Competitor: backlash, controversy, confusion, intrusion
π€‘
@reelrorymercury@pcgamer 1. Force industry off physical media
2. Frame piracy as the only alternative
3. Cloud gaming becomes industry's "solution"
4. Gaming is now a cloud business
So when Microslop pushes discless, they frame it as "roadmap" or "strategy"
When competition does it, they get FUD
@Dexerto Interesting how they frame it
For Shitfield (it's because it's "next gen" LE MAO)
For a PS5 exclusive title (GTA 6), it's because the HW is "weak" LE MAO
@xIsraelExposedx This is exactly why they push identity/age verification
Because once "real" = "verified", whoever controls the verification layer controls who gets to look real
So fake opposition can look real
And real dissidence can be made invisible
@xIsraelExposedx Remember the "guy" who murdered the US health insurance CEO? oh, this time they made him a hero
See the difference between true dissidence and performative rebellion, aka controlled opposition
@itzjustdubzz@Knoebelbroet Microslop, and its network of fraudsters are the one spreading misinformation, we already have the data brother
Xbox is nowhere to be seenπ€£
