I really don't mind MS being attacked, but it's clear the ones doing the attack have an agenda when they only point out one thing. I rarely see Nintendo being attacked for their own anti-competitive behaviors in the past. And that's not even mentioning accusations against Sony of "labor and human rights violations" at their plants in developing nations. I mean, seriously, does anti-competitive behavior really warrant more scorn than fucking violations of human rights?

 

Why would people attack Sony and Nintendo in a thread about Microsoft's uncompetitive behaviour? For the record, all mega-corps like MS, Sony, Nintendo, Apple, etc etc have indulged in some reprehensible behaviour, but to say someone has an agenda for pointing out MS's failings is a bit daft.

 

Yes, in Thread # 5783458 attacking MS. Seriously, MS has been attacked on this forum hundreds of times with every conceiveble reasoning. There doesn't need to be a new one to point that out. We all know. MS has done bad things. I just find it weird that MS is constantly the lightning rod of attacks, where Sony and Nintendo are relatively free from it. Considering how often this happens on these forums, I believe that most attacks on MS are not about telling people what MS did, but more of a fanboy agenda to attack them. And honestly, the hypocrasy pisses me off too. They are some real crimes being commited by all 3 companies, crimes that are literally killing people (mostly indirectly, but there are always 'disappearences' of workers talking about starting a union in developing nations) that we would all be better off knowing. Concentrating on one company, and the crimes that are dealing with issues that don't do nearly as much harm with peoples lives, seems counterproductive to someone who is trying to enlighten us about what these companies are doing wrong.
