LOL.
Spicy Tom, today.
GTA is arguably the biggest franchise out there despite games coming out every 10 years. GTA5 has sold about 200M copies.
The GTA6 leak is like a grain of sand on a beach compared to the Insomniac stuff.

He really woke up today and chose violence.
A special care package from Microsoft must have landed.

I mean it was just a damn joke but then again coming from him deep down it's probably trolling (yes another "alpha" that was probably "playable" on PC without a PS release).
Got to love Gaz coming in with the stupidity too. That "soft ass bitch" called Colin bias for wearing a PS tshirt while having dumbass videos like this
Got to stick with the pack like always.

So much so that he has already requested a permanent ban:
Maybe he can join XboxEra now, seems like a better fit for him anyway.

You were here defending him by equating what he's doing as an independent editor to PS Blog. So, I said IF he is a Microsoft employee he should disclose it. But according to you this stuff happens all the time and you thought he was a shill and made this ridiculous comparison

He didn’t have to say so, it was already obvious. He’s far from the only one. They are paid extensions of publisher PR.
It would not do the likes of him any harm to have a little integrity and humility to realise the people they talk down to, the consumer, if they are absent he wouldn’t have this sort “job” in the first place.

Jeez, dunno why people are getting so tilted at a mild take. It's not directed at anyone and what he's saying is completely true so....

Because PS people knew he was a paid shill
Because Xbox people thought his word was gospel
Because people like me and many others around here...

So...he's paid by Xbox? Is this kinda like the same thing where Xbox folks think IGN is paid by Playstation or is there actual evidence of this?Because PS people knew he was a paid shill

If he doesn't view himself as a journalist then what is he?

I don't think anyone on here is mad about his joke, or really cares that he got banned for it.
Just discussions on his "i'm not a gaming journalist" comment

Do I have evidence he is one of the media people on Xbox payroll?
Nope
Do I need to have that evidence judging by his Tweets?
Fuck no
Is IGN paid by Playstation?
I have no idea
Did I share receipts here with
Mod of War
of the at the time VP of Xbox admit to giving "an army of people consoles, game pass, storage disks, etc" "to influence positive affinity"

I remember when Microsoft did that. Is that what they mean by "paid shill"? Ok I see him as just biased...not necessarily paid. I see IGN as biased...not necessarily paid. I think it's all about clickbait on being on the knife's edge of controversy. Farming engagement with their "content".Do I have evidence he is one of the media people on Xbox payroll?

Can’t contain how happy he is with this leak. He was so upset with the Xbox leak, no counter like “Here’s some potentially bad news about the competition” this time around.
Low life.

He doesn't leak anything. He gets fed information from one company and one company only.
Look up Winrumors, who founded and ran it and then how he winded up at the verge.

if it’s Max Scoville you can watch this video and see that he’s nothing like Ryan or Destin with their sycophancy for Xbox

We all bring our own bias, there is nothing nefarious going on here. These two are self admitted long time Xbox fans that don't pretend to be anything other than that. Ign also has many self proclaimed long time Sony fans. There largest podcast "Game Scoop" leans Sony (depending on guest spots) and there is nothing wrong with that.and how exactly is IGN biased? their two most notorious are Destin & Ryan who are on the same side as Tom here
This necessarily isn't directed specifically at your comment. I just see the IGN biased claim often, and as a consumer of a few of their podcasts (Unlocked, Beyond, Gamescoop) I don't believe they are. More often than you would think, the cast of gamescoop gets Xbox's feature sets wrong, policies wrong, etc, as they don't use the console often outside of work, nothing wrong with that, just human nature.

How is this different from other publishers already ? All influencers are basically showered in free content from all brands.Did I share receipts here with

Are their more bans or uses of Y’all in the Era thread?

I think there is a fine line between "influencer" and targeting sites that give tech reviews say and showering them in opportunities to influence their wording
