I'm in the ballpark of believing both rumors to be more true than untrue. No matter what anyone believes, it doesn't change what happened. Unless new info releases, I don't see why I should worry about what others think is true or not.  

I guess it's just annoying when I post in support of the Union and then have defensive Xbox fans come in and tell me that I can't be mad about a game being cancelled because I never played it and therefore can't put any blame on Microsoft at all. And those same people will happily then believe the Perfect Dark rumours to jump to Xbox's defence in cancelling Perfect Dark, Lol.

It's hypocritical and quite honestly, comes across as fanboy defence. It's okay to criticise Microsoft, Lol.

I'm not talking about you BTW. 

You want to accuse other of being hypocritical fanboys?

The only thing you seem interested in is finding excuses to criticise Microsoft's corporate greed so you can go on another long-winded anti-capitalism rant.

When have you ever actually made some constructive criticism about the incompetent mishandling of Xbox division specifically which led to this point?

You constantly give the well paid Xbox executives a free pass as if they were all having to operate with a Microsoft accountant holding a gun to their heads.

Reality is that Xbox division had all the resources and tools in the world they could ask for, they were free to create and prosper in whatever direction they chose, and the direction they chose was mediocrity and disappointment. If they hadn't done such a poor job managing the division in the first place, Microsoft wouldn't be so quick to cut their losses.

You just want to blame a corporation for behaving in the same way corporations have always behaved. If Xbox was run well and successful, they would be protected and the people's jobs would be protected.
