Companies do this a lot.

I remember a MS guy on GAF got caught out trolling Sony. Its quite funny really.

Are you referring to the Forza team hating on Gran Turismo or is there another incident?

Thats the one. The guy was actually found out to be working for Turn 10.

I don't know if he's paid or not (obviously not, I'm not even suggesting he is fake), but Sony should pay MUGEN here.

The guy is a hero among Vita's fans here and owns one of the most successful vita threads in the internet.
That deserves at least a some free games or a job as SCEJ CEO, whatever is cheaper for Sony these days.

If this is true, this is just bad....but it makes sense since companies like these
get desperate for feed back...i'm mean, look what happen to EA's NBA Live series..
It disappear, because they did not listen to gamers.

Not surprised. Battlefield 3 was a fucking brutal game, makes sense that they have to pay people to compliment it and troll the competition.

This doesnt seem true EA are great!

and remember you can get Battlefield 3 now for 39.99, and what this Call of Duty still 59.99!!

MW3 has been $39.99 for months on Amazon.

Go to Walmart or any other retail store and I'm sure both BF3 and MW3 are $59.99.

Microsoft used to do this A LOT back when they were launching the first Xbox, and they did it for a few years after. I'm sure they still do it, but it was really obvious and bad around this time.

Sony hired a fucking ARMY (more like ten armies) to furiously defend the PS3. Just remember the horrible stink on Sony's console, and how just seemingly overnight there were more people defending the PS3 than the 2 other systems combined.
