MS is a big stinking bull in a china shop and no problem with the you break it you bought it policy

Sony is a snake

I see one buying out every halfway decent publisher and developer they can lay their hooves on

the other will wine and dine with eloquent diplomacy, focused always on the rarest of talent, in whatever form it takes

East meets West

If you\'ll notice, I painted neither side as a saint. Ever heard the term ‘handsome devil\'? For many people, all they need to complete a picture of Bill Gates is a wad of tape on his glasses and a pair of horns. That goes double in Japan.

Seven,
I\'m glad to hear at least one person got a chuckle besides me, thanks saying so

That\'s where I get lost. I just don\'t understand the hatred of Bill Gates. I know the arguments, but I think they\'re misplaced.

Ace,

Agreed, though when I see Microsoft ads I\'m still thinking BS instead of MS. I would put it down to a general sense of being under a corporations thumb due to a lucky break rather than having invented a great product. Bill is never going to shake the modern day Robber Baron name tag as it is not entirely misplaced.

It is funny how every Sony fanboy has always wanted Sony to buy Square out or other developers and if Sony did it , it would be considered a "smart business move". No one said a thing when Sega bought VC either...Now that MS may want to buy a few developers it is considered a terrible thing..


I just love double standards...

They didn\'t say it wasn\'t a smart business move, it is a smart business move. Just that, to them, it is a "terrible move" since they won\'t be able to play the games on their system...which for Sony fanboys, is the PS2.

In that case, everyone is under a double standard. Afterall, when Square was partly bought up by Sony, some Xbox/GC fanboys who were excited with the possibililty of Square on their system now either don\'t care, of say they suck in the first place. Same when Resident Evil became an exclusive to the GC with Xbox/PS2 fanboys.

I am proud to say that I think I use the term once since I have started posting here.
