https://www.essentiallysports.com/esports-news-xbox-fans-are-paid-says-former-world-of-warcraft-designer-microsoft-sony-playstation/

Mark Kern, a Taiwanese-American video game designer best known for being a team leader on World of Warcraft, recently took to Twitter to share his opinions on the Xbox fandom. While dropping his tweet, he wrote that hardcore fans praising Microsoft are not real.

“A lot of these xbox fans are paid firms or bots (rabid fan run or MS run). This is standard practice now in corpo warfare”, read Mr. Kern’s tweet. Additionally, he also wrote that the ongoing situation will become “far worse with AI”.

On Twitter, it's hard to tell the difference between a Twitter troll and AI bot. They both sound the same.

I knew some of you seemed to parrot these rabid pro Xbox Twitter accounts. It makes sense that them, and some of y’all are either paid shills or bots. It’s actually a relief…

So since there are more than double of those praising Sony, I guess it's safe to say that the majority of them are bots also.

Sony wins again, what a shame 🙄

On a side note, I hope wenzen is a bot, if not, then that is one sad individual.

He said common practice in corporate warfare. The unspoken truth here is that Sony and Nintendo do it, too.

Anyone surprised by this needs to wake up, in either case. This is not news.

Also this is why PC is best. Because Bill Gates is taking all the adrenachrome he has harvested and turns it into life-extension treatment for people that praise PC. GLORY TO GATES! GLORY TO PC!

All your console fans get are cases of Monster Energy, Doritos, and Mt Dew.

It's a pretty well known fact they were paying people for positive Xbox One endorsements; that absolutely did not stop.

More importantly, there's a really unhealthy relationship between Xbox "personalities" and, the Xbox marketing team.

It is amazing Microsoft has sold 21.5 million Xbox Series X/S consoles in the last three years with virtually no exclusive software.

Nice way of hiding your Micrsoft checks...

Are they even paying you more than $8 per day to chill on GS?😣

Is this relevant to System Wars? Why are we talking about a fanboy faction here?

Anyways, it should not be a surprise as due to the annoymous nature of the Internet, anyone can claim to be anyone, whether a gamer or a bigot.

I almost quoted you with the 360/ps3 era, but I forgot that they lost that one too, but barely. The 360 did hand the ps3 its butt on a silver platter throughout most of the gen though.

Could be? Bots are rampant and now more unchecked than ever now that Elon threw out 75% of the competent engineers. Turns out, they were pretty important after all.

Starfield is really causing the Sony fannies to lose their minds. Very odd since they can easily play the game on their high end PC.😎

You gotta start with some freelance shilling. And once your posts start to hit the algorithm, the checks start to hit. You can probably just copy and paste the antwan3K and Kvally posts from here and post them on Threads and Twitter. Those two seem to follow the template closely.
