GAF moderators erasing all stuff then trying to do damage control makes them look worse. They posted an explanation in Reddit about how ekim is not CBoat.

In my opinion CBOat is an account used by different GAF users to promote bad Xbox news.


In my opinion you might be misterxmedia or one of his sources.


I'm not a supporter of mrmedia.

But I must admit It is ridiculous how many rumors Cboat got wrong yet he was never banned. The mods erase all evidence to protect ekim's identity and that is the right thing to do...... until they mentioned him especially by his name in GAF (Ekim) and link him to cboat again  hahahahahah it's just hilarious how the mods make things worse.

 

 



I am so confused

Gabe Newell hates everything related to MS.

He used to like Xbox more than PS.  He doesn't like Windows 8, with good reason.  But you shouldn't base feelings of the entire employee of a whole company off the feelings of one man.  

Gabe Newell IS the entire company

Can someone sum this up a little? What is exactly going on? Has his identity been discovered or something?

CBOAT posted something that links to another user, named EKIM.  It looks like it isn't CBOAT, but someone decided that to use that info to say that CBOAT was EKIM, and that CBOAT was created for anti-MS propaganda and also Pro-PS.  Neogaf deleted the posts that suggested that it was from EKIM, thus (apparently) proving that Neogaf's entire existance is also for anti-MS propaganda, and exists solely for PS.  

It seems his identity is safe for now, but this EKIM guy may lose his job, if he hasn't already.  


Thanks for that man. I'm not surprised some are accusing neogaf of being pro sony, what else is new? I'm happy his identity is safe for now, though the other one may indeed lose his job as companies are not fond of those who leak information.

Wow, sometimes I am embarrassed that I happen to have picked up video gaming as a hobby.

People treat this as if it's anything close to remotely of consequence. Holy hell. With all the efforts of framing video games as a mainstream hobby and something with a 'cool' image, the truth is sadly this: Video game fans are a bunch of nerds suitably detached from the real world.

Oh video games, I wish I could quit you.

You're on a video game forum. More specifically, you're on a video game sales forum. What do you expect?

That summary of yours is uncalled for, though. It's one thing to have a hobby and account on a videogame forum, but it's another to be "detached from the real world". That is an insult to anyone here.

When you have thousands of death treats because of Mass Effect 3 ending. Making a fuss because Cranky Kong was the Nintendo reveal at the VGX. All gaming forums insulting either MS, Sony or Nintendo. FF XIII is a piece of shit. Death treats because Bayonetta 2 is a Wii U exclusive. Nintendo is doomed because of the 2DS. Mobile games are the devil. I can agree with all impertinence said.

The reasons above is why people doesn't take the game industry seriously. They see the industry (and it's fans) like a bunch of grown up kids, and sadly, this kind of things doesn't really prove them wrong.


This is true.

Okay I think, I kinda get it.

EKIM is not CBOAT.

But EKIM is CBOAT's insider and may lose his job because of this. (at least that is what I understood on Twitter) ^^

Well this sure is one heck of a hunt to kill CBOAT hahahaha!

It's because of how GAF works. It's not your typical gaming forum.

When someone wants to leak stuff, they must talk to the mods beforehand. They must first know their sources, or know who they are. Once that is done, you get the green light. That's how you don't get banned.

 

You can get banned for not having enough/good sources, like when thuway (I think that was him) was banned for claiming Thief on X1 is only 900p. Didn't have more than one source for that, and still posted that.

 

Lastly, cboat has a really good record of getting stuff right. He is among the top insiders in GAF. The amount of stuff he has had wrong is relatively minuscule.



That's right, just one "d"

In b4 "it's addict"

Instead of seeking to convince others, we can be open to changing our own minds, and seek out information that contradicts our own steadfast point of view. Maybe it’ll turn out that those who disagree with you actually have a solid grasp of the facts. There’s a slight possibility that, after all, you’re the one who’s wrong.
