"fukk anonymous sources" - do you have the slightest fukking clue how leaks in journalism has worked for centuries sir? :russ:
these dudes are wrong all the time



calling them journalists is a stretch, because they care very little about the integrity of their reporting. they just want clicks. I don't doubt that some of their sources are legit, but I can't say how much effort they put into vetting them, or if it's first, second, or third person info

and there's something to be said about the integrity of people that can't keep their mouth shut. to be clear, we're not taking about real issues, like Watergate. we're talking about people that can't keep a secret about a fukking video game

in general the internet has been a detriment to journalism, because it's all about getting clicks with misleading, or inaccurate, information

on a personal level, I don't want no one playing me for a sucker. I don't fall for the okey-doke. and before I fall for the okey-doke, I let the pistol smoke :bustback:

nah, fukk all these dudes and their anonymous sources
Why would you expect the source of the leak to publicly reveal themselves? Every leak is usually from "industry insider" or someone with links and then the journalist is the one who leaks the information. Saying "fukk all these dudes and their anonymous sources" is quite literally asinine for you to say when we've gotten leaks over the past decade this way.

The cognitive dissonance is alarming. Dudes retroactively erase ALL the times rumors were true but the millisecond some rumor has a stench of possibly being false they indict every single leak/leaker as false.

Which one of these shyts from random youtubers is true??

Only cognitive dissonance is you weirdos taking these random cac tweets as fact

Then accepting them saying “well plans have changed” when their shyt is proven false :smh:

This rumor was debunked a long time ago.

You guys just waited for new cac tweets to come back and reject the last cac tweets you reacted to.


Maybe you should just stop believing in random cac tweets instead of attacking the people that call them the bullshyt they are :ehh:

I'd fill up this page with "rumors" that were hand waved away by you guys that came out true if I wanted to but then again you guys love to argue in bad faith anyway. You only seem to have issues with rumors when it's slanted against Xbox.

Do it.

I called this rumor bullshyt from day one.

I’m calling it bullshyt right now.

I’m on both sides of “cac tweets ain’t shyt” and my post on the topic was 100% correct as usual.

Which one of these positions did i argue in bad faith for microsoft’s sake???

I don't necessarily care about this rumor in particular, I'm talking about the knee jerk reactions you guys have everytime a supposed "leak" comes out that is met with dismissal.

Lol first one I searched for example.

This one is old but you created a thread linking to a site that's not even up anymore yet you didn't have this "cac tweet" rhetoric going on because it was great sounding Xbox news.

You didn't seem to mind the "source" then.




It also says that other sources confirmed that they haven't heard of a connection being needed for the console to function.



Which anonymous source do you believe?

When rumors about Xbox One being always online started to brew you were dismissing it until it became a real confirmed story that ultimately played a role in the official reveal's backlash.

rumors are fine as long as you acknowledge it's a rumor
