Meh, I for one don't mind MicroSoft, I much more hate Blizzard, or Activision. But goddamnit I'm not original enough to think of funny insulting play-on-names for them!
It doesn't help that the games industry is only just getting over a rather unhealthy obsession with Nazis and the Second World War (n.b. Medal of Honor series, Call of Duty 1-3, 5, etc.)maddawg IAJI said:
Its Godwin's Law. Everything, no matter the subject eventually dwindles down to Nazis and Hitler. Its just a silly little joke sure, but its a joke that is shockingly true.pauloalbatross said:
I got a reason. It's a double standard. No one gives any other company a hard time for being motivated by profit, with the possible exception of the oil companies. If you are going to replace an S with a dollar sign in Microsoft's name, why not replace the E with a euro sign in Apple's name? They are all in business to make money. If you don't like it stop buying their shit.Baldry said:
I got a crossover ethernet cable for £5 and connected it between my laptop and my 360. Job done for a tenth of the price, as long as you remember to allow other devices to connect via your laptop/PC.BiscuitTrouser said:
I agree with the annoyance factor of the OP of people who readily down MS for making money (you know... what corporations are designed to do...) yet are so happy-crappy over Nintendo or Sony. They're all soulless money grubbing greedy bastards (see also the HD vs. BluRay wars. if you don't think Sony is ruthless and competitive you missed out all the other tries they made on making their media a standard [umd, mini-disc, etc.]).
Point being, they're all the same with a different label. You know what though? I hear more about Bill Gates being one of the most charitable "greedy rich folk" than any other major company out there. Just a thought.
Oh, I'm not a fanboy of MS either, I hate a lot of their products personally because I deal with them on a daily basis. I like my 360 because I take care of it, and it works perfectly and plays all the games I want to play on it.
Also Bill Gates doesn't run MS anymore.
Anyway, stop being hypocrites. Sony's just as bad as MS (look at the way they blatantly stole Wii's controller after making fun of it and saying it was an "overgrown lollipop" or some such drivel). Nintendo is just as soulless, is there really a need to come out with a new DS every year? No, but they want money. Your money, and just like they know you'll buy the new iPhone cuz you just "gotta have it" (Coldstone reference), you'll by the 3ds cuz its nintendo and you "gotta have it".
Money, makes the world go round and all corporations want it. Its their bottom line, *MAKE MONEY OR DIE*. Soon as you get that you might be able to see the forest for the trees.

If I'm right your saying it doesn't make since we use Micro$oft when other companies are just as bad? If that is true I agree with you, all companies are in it for the money not just them. I notice no one likes to mock apple for practice of making new iPods and stop supporting older ones as much to focus on the product that is out. But this is getting stupid, EA and Acivision is pulling crap taking money from us every chance they get(buy our game new and you won't get goodies that are already on the disc). And how about Bli$$ard for the 88 million law suite (I think it's fine for them to sue for the money the owner made but he didn't make 88 million from what I've been reading).martyrdrebel27 said:
You cant tell me what to do.... MICRO$OFT! and why do you even think about it I never ever noticed somebody writed it like that.
If I type MS people might thin I mean multiple sclerosis.
Microsoft, with such innovations as Microtran$action$, pay to play non-ho$ted gaming $ervice Xbox Live!, and their reasonable priced (HAHAHAHAHA) hard drive$ and network device$ all mean that they are clearly about busine$$, which equate$ to dollar$, which mean$ when we think M$, we thing money making innovation$. Like $ending factorie$ to Mexico to $ave co$t$, cutting corner$ on quality a$$urance for their $y$tem$ to $ave money, hiring illegal migrant laborer$ to $ave money according to even Bill Gate$ him$elf.
So you see, it's clearly not meant as a slam against them, Microsoft is just so innovative that when we think capitalism at it's finest, we think Microsoft, and honor that title with the $.
