Image / Video Two minute apart from each other

This is just wild. PlayStation wanted to end their partnership with Hideo Kojima. So Xbox was like: "Your loss."

This year is really starting to feel like an inverse of 2014 when Xbox ruined their public image with some insane Always Online DRM requirements and PlayStation capitalized on that.

This seems like a Goomba Fallacy

"a lot of you guys" =/= "all of you guys"

It would be a goomba fallacy if it wasn't absolutely guaranteed that the people who disingenuously trashed Death Stranding and Kojima for brand / platform war reasons won't exhibit clear hypocrisy when they celebrate and weaponize this.

If you ask the internet you'll get a lot of people telling you the earth is flat or stale piss cures cancer. Seeing some people say a thing on the internet has absolutely zero relevance to what the general consensus is.

The existence of hypocrites doesn't require everyone to be a hypocrite.
