Forums - Gaming - You aren't compensated for shilling or spreading false pro-console info.

Just a reminder here.  Being an partisan for a game console of your choice, and posting on forums like this is an unpaid job.  Corporations who make the console your choice do not pay you if you shill their products and games shamelessly.  They also don't compensate you if you go forth and post false information that would benefit your console.  If you were to side with Sony against Anonymous, and post something clearly in error about Anonymous, no one is going to pay you for this.  If you even win people over to your console of choice through your words, you don't get compensated.  If you inprove the bottom line of the corporation that makes the console of your choice, you don't get paid for it.

In short, operating as a marketing stooge for a company of your choices is unpaid work, isn't something that can be listed on your resume, and in the end won't matter if your company of choice ends up leaving the videogame industry completely aqnd stop making a console.  Sega and Atari fans can testify to this fact.

What are you talking about?



so you are making a forum post to tell people of your opinion that making forums posts to express opinions is stupid.   did i get that right?

do you understand that people enjoy expressing their opinions?  would you like me to link you to a dictionary definition of the word passion or maybe hobby?

It is one thing to end up enjoying and having a passion for something.  It is another to make oneself a partisan who shills and spins in favor of a given console, and engage in a war for the minds of people.  Stuff like, "Playstation is a religion" and also the "B_E_L_I_E_V_E" sig people were running awhile ago. 

Guys who go online and post stuff like this on the Youtube:

And this:

Shill and do stuff like this.  They look a lot like this, but don't get paid (Sony hired an ad company to do this):

 



You don't get paid for telling us what to do.  Or do you?  Are they getting their money's worth?



Beg to differ.
