Payroll stub with the name blocked out would be fairly simple to do as for one exaple.  Having coproate memos/stationary etc is another good one.

kasz, that is extremely far fetched. I cannot believe you would entertain the notion that reviewers must send in documents by mail or scan. That's like asking yelpers to submit receipts of the places they visit.

E3 requires similar proof of employment. And sending them a copy, while it is "easy" to reproduce it adds a lot of time that most trolls rather not take, so you will only get the more ambitious ones.

I submitted a review. They didn't ask my to verify anything. I just signed up like i did this website

Especially since former employees may not keep their paystub past a certain date... like a week. I don't even get paystubs from target and I sure dont have official memos. I could request them though

Just went through the process. Absolutely no verification whatsoever. I had to input an email address and click a confirmation link and that was it.

Sites like Glassdoor are easy to sign up to and easy to post fake reviews but they don't worry about that too much because (for the most part) there is little gained from outsiders faking reviews ... I have been told of companies posting positive reviews to balance out all the negative reviews they have gotten, or of disgruntled employees attacking the company through sites like this, but nothing involving outsiders before.

Now, it is plausable that this is a fake review but then I would suggest that the site that found the review is the most likely candidate for the person who wrote the review; because they would be the one who would be gaining from faking the review.

do not rule out an internet troll submitting the review to a website. Again, most of the content posted is rather typical internet-debate. Latest rumours has ps4 called omni, not orbis, and his critiques are something akin to what you would find in any given thread about ps4 on this very site.
He also acknowledges the two primary reasons vita is failing (games and price) yet misses the real reasons why it is sputtering, which is the non-appeal to tertiary functions. This is very easily a fake review, and again, surprised at the gullibility present ITT.

Whoever wrote it is not very up to date on their rumormill or market analysis.

I would say it's just some redditor.

I don't get why you people think the review is certain to be fake? Why would some person that doesn't want the PS4 to succeed, post their thoughts on a site like Glassdoor if they could post it on a site where their post is taken more seriously, and read by more people other than prospective job seekers?
In fact, I would think the reviews which give 5 stars are be more fake than those that gave bad/ madiocre reviews.

the guy who posted it could also be looking for a job. He could have posted reviews from his real employer and while he was at it he could have decided to have fun... thats not rare
