I don't get it. I make fun of a company for extending the usage of an already ridiculous terminology to new heights of stupidity (doesn't matter what the company is, if it was Sony, Square, Nintendo, Epic, Zynga, whatever, I would make fun of the company for using it, I have always thought the 'AAA' terminology was stupid enough) The thread isn't even to do with how well Microsoft are doing, or an award, or sales figures. Most people in that thread were making fun of the terminology anyway, even though that does not matter. I come into a thread specifically about Sony's hardware being recognized by an authority on design (or so they claim) and see multiple Nintendo-loyal users come in to ruin and derail the thread, taking as many oppurtunities as they can to proclaim that Sony's hardware does not deserve the recognition, or that Nintendo hardware should have won instead, and engaging in dozens of posts arguing about semantics and contributing nothing to the discussion that could have been created if the thread hadn't been derailed. No comparison. Absolutely no comparison. |
Interesting... Looks like the exact same situation to me
