| oli2 said: I can't believe the number of people here that are on "kill the messenger" mode when we deal about Malstrom. Words like "hardcore", "casual", "blue ocean" and "disruption" are thrown all over the place, but many of the incumbents fans don't really understand their meanings... So much hate to Malstrom right there that i need to express it : "i support you, Mal !" |
MS astroturfers are hard at work since months even here.
All these Malstrom threads make them inevitably come out, didn't you notice they all get huge numbers of posts trying to kill the messenger?
It's funny also that the MS astroturfers and shills (or viral marketers like Malstrom say) are still stuck in their "attack the messenger" and "syndrome of false authority" tactics. MS vaporware is always orchestrated so that their shills can do their job with the syndrome of false authority: how can you say Spielberg is lying? how can you say <insert famous people> can't be believed? Of course, none of these people have any knowledge in gaming and can be fooled pretty easily.
I completely agree with Malstrom on this one BTW. For now, Natal is completely vaporware.
Vaporware was the main MS tactic to destroy its competitors in other fields, as MS is a marketing company.
But it doesn't seem to work in gaming industry. It sure enough didn't work against another competitor similar to Nintendo in master of their field: Apple.
I think this is why MS lost control of the Natal hype: vaporware doesn't work in the gaming industry, and they don't understand entertainment either (they never did since they started trying to steal from Apple 20 years ago).
I'm still waiting for true informations, like what exactly is in the SDK sent to developers? It's software AND hardware, right?
Where are the people who tested that Natal thing? I see only selected people tried it behind closed doors. This makes no sense and is just not like the Wii, at all.
If it ever comes out, I still say this Natal thing is bound to fail, with the current informations leaked.
