You can argue that this persons opinion is wrong, and that they deserved to be fired, but that is aside from the point. What we were presented with was a management level position at what amounts to a software studio that is focused on co development of titles with second, and third party studios. The real problem with this entire debate is that everyone is acting as if this person in question was a member of the inner circle. Given where they claim to have worked, and what position they claimed to have occupied. Were we to place it in the context of military ranks. We would be talking about a Captain, and not a higher rank like a General. Thus their perspective should be limited to what they have to deal with in their immediate situation. It doesn't make sense for them to know the grand plan. In this case the reviewer claims to have worked at ground zero of a cluster fuck. I guarantee that if you worked in that studio. You would probably hold a equally dim view of Sony. In the same way that a few ex Rare employees have expressed equally dim views of Microsoft. Every company has its own expression of the shit works. Where all the shit flows. It is usually the place that is underpowered, overworked, and given impossible tasks, and just about everyone is viewed as expendable. All this person sounds like to me is someone who feels like they got shit on by their employer. It isn't terribly uncommon, and there isn't any reason to assume that it is some convoluted plot, and your little stunt doesn't disprove anything. All it proved was you could manipulate the system. It doesn't prove that was what this person was doing. All you did was encourage people to manipulate that system in the future. Which does hurt that sites ability to do its job, and does discredit that site. Even if the fact that libel is a crime you can be prosecuted both in civil or criminal proceedings isn't enough to dissuade you. Then the fact that they are innocent bystanders should have. It doesn't matter if you shit on their lawn, and then cleaned it up. @hawkeyejonjon It actually makes complete sense to me. For the author to use the brand name as opposed to the technical name for the division. When most people hear Sony Computer Entertainment they draw a blank. It is actually a pretty poor descriptor. Worse it can actually be misleading. The name can be confused for Sony Online Entertainment. Which though it is part of Sony Computer Entertainment has a rather abysmal reputation that engenders a great deal of near psychotic hate in some circles. Anyway it seems more practical then pragmatic. If you take pride in your work. You should want to use the name for your work that most people are familiar with. Besides the author identified the studio they worked for by its proper name. I don't know about you, but most people I know refer to the name of the location they work at rather then the name of the division that workplace is located within. People generally don't go with the longest possible name. It just comes across as pretentious, and self conscious. @topic What I don't get is why anyone would assume that Sony doesn't have disgruntled employees. I don't know why anyone should take this personally, or expend a lot of energy disproving it in the first place. It seems entirely too needy for me. I know why I commented, because sometimes I get a kick out of being a contrary asshole. The real question seems to be, and it is probably the only truly relevant one in this thread. Why does anyone feel such a overwhelming need for this to be fake. Can anyone tell me why they need for this to be fake. |
you have points but everyone can tell the difference between soe & sce
it could be real or it could be fake to get attention. i could claim on that website that i worked for microsoft or nintendo and write a review about them and make them look bad while making the review look real and it would get attention. all they would do is approve it within a day. its easy but nonetheless it could be real or fake but no one actually knows.
