Forums - Microsoft - GT5 v FM3 : Turn 10 bribing users to vote for Forza 3 in CNET poll.........

You know you can refresh the page and keep voting over and over again?

 

Edit - Awww... now it is telling me it already counted my vote.

I got away with about 5-6 votes before it told me that.

This is proof that Turn 10 are insecure about Forza

That's very simplistic isn't it? Are you sure that the mysterious entity "Turn 10" were in complete control of giving away whatever the hell they are briging people with(probably something free and insignificant)?

I mean, honestly people, it's rediculious. You are justing using this "Turn 10 bribes" talking point to flame the developers. They used simple marketing to influence a meaningless internet poll, and it probably was a forum admin, and not even a member of the team.

It's a joke that anyone would think what you wrote. Did you really mean that? Am I the only one capable of deciphering the mysteries on life on this forum? Not everything is that absolute. You are drawing your conclusions out of thin air, sir.



I don't need your console war.
It feeds the rich while it buries the poor.
You're power hungry, spinnin' stories, and bein' graphics whores.

NO NO, NO NO NO.

No, Sony fans. You can go back to your own forum and hate.

Are you even reading the posts? NO ONE has said anything negative about FORZA. We are all only criticizing Take 10's act of bribing.

Why don't you actually contribute to the thread by either defending Take 10's decision to bribe, if we're just giving undue hate?


Sony bribed the f****n gaming industry with the introduction of Playstation in mid 90's, but I don't see anyone cry about that on these forums.

By attacking Turn10 you're attacking Forza.

Because no one has made a thread yet, maybe you should? But while this thread exists, you have no right to derail this thread and actually incite a flamewar when none has been started. We're all politely and calmly discussing about Take 10's actions.

And the statement "By attacking Turn10 you're attacking Forza" is so illogical that it's sad. So if I criticize Sony for making a faulty TV for argument's sake, does that mean I'm attacking the PS3? LMAO.


"Froza is over rated..... The games sucks when compared to GT. T10 need to stop gasing people about F3, we get you love your little baby, that's ok, but don't kid yourslef. GT psp alone will destory F3 not to mention GT5."

- is that politely and calmly discussing about Take 10's actions?

I didnt start a flamewar, if anyone did it was SkeeUk who wanted to start one because he always posts MS chritical stuff in our forum.

I was just defending against all these Sony fans attacking my favorite game developer.

While it is debateable whether or not Take 10's action or "marketing strategy" should be considered bribing or not, that's why we have this thread to debate about that, and I think that it's perfectly acceptible to criticize a company for an action such as bribery.

The reason why I consider it bribery is because I feel voting is something that should be kept pure, and not be tainted with the promise of external rewards.

I think there's a difference between making people aware of a poll and advertising to vote for someone, vs saying "vote this way, and you get this". That means that the vote was, to some degree, casted in order to get a reward.



@zenfolder dude. You might be.. scratch that. You are biased. But even you can't deny that turn 10 are so far up their own asses that any light they may see are purely incidential.

Alright! Way to go with your original post about "Sony fans being insecure" and talking trash about Forza and only having 1 person as your proof.

You should have said "Sony fan being insecure".

 

Anyways, apology accepted.

 

If you want to make a big deal out of it try PMing the one who said those things because of the rest of us obviously ignored it because we don't give a damn.

And fortunately, the flame war didn't catch on fire and everyone ignored it. No flame war has started.

You tried to ignite one yourself later, when there was none occuring at the present, and that's inexcusable and despicable.

The first 1-4 pages consist mostly of "Sad" "Is Unicorn a joke" "Unicorn is a car" "Oh, let me see some pics" "Ok, that's sad".



Turn 10.

Don't mind Slimebeast, he clearly just believes that Turn 10 can do no wrong. Ahh well, I reported him anyways. Regarding the thread, the CNET poll has so few responses that it means almost nothing. Both are multi-million selling franchises, and so far the poll has less than 10,000 responses. Not a big deal.

Oh, they can do wrong, but they didn't do anything wrong in this instance. Influencing a meaningless internet poll with a free nothing is NOT bribery, it's marketing, and it is the actions of 1 man, probably not even a member of the Forza team, AND it is completely and utterly meaningless, hurts no one, and helps a game that he is obviously a big fan of. If not for the fake appauled internet, this would have been a great promotional idea, actually. You don't even have to show proof you vote. You can vote infinite times. Are you kidding me.

Did you know Obama gave free rides to the polls for voters? Ooooo, bribery. To even think this is worth posting about in a way that shows offense, ASTOUNDS me.

I think this thread proves just how much of a golden cow GT to many, many people, and/or how quick people are to jump on the bandwagon of hate without even realizing why they are hating that ENTIRE COMPANY, over the actions of a forum adminstrator, which weren't even bad to begin with.

Montana, it's like me flaming ioi because of that post you just made, except I am a whole community of people, and I don't really mind the post you made, but I'm pretending, because I just wanted to flame VGChartz to begin with and you gave me an excuse.

This is hyped up Sony propoganda, no doubt perpetuated by some pro Sony blogger on Sony fansite N4G.
