I liked it better when rival companies actually told the truth and let everyone know that they were thinking. Because make no mistake about it people: they still wish utter failure on one another. This front they're putting up? It's all PR, for our sake. Trust me. Behind the curtains and closed doors? They're after blood.

Nah, most of them literally have family,friends ex classmates working for different companies and devs. Except for a personal beef most have something else going in their life that they don't care or even don't know.

People who think like you mention are the ones on forums who have nothing going on in their life and use hate/troll comments to give their life some meaning. At this point moderators should ban those people and include some self help numbers.

Again (I think this is the third time, actually lol) I have to disagree. The nature of competition is to beat your opponent. These guys are all alpha males. That's how they got to the place in their respective companies that they're in. They want to win. Not only that, they want to dominate. 

I don't think it's personal (although, if you've read interviews dealing with the 16-bit war, you'll see that things have literally almost gone to blows before), but I do think it's cutthroat behind the scenes. I don't believe any of this goodwill-gesture stuff is indicative of any real goodwill at all... at least not in a business sense, anyway.

What you're seeing right now is the equivalent of a politician kissing a baby during a photo-op. Nothing more.
