Great twist!
Quite possible that I stand corrected here, yup.

It's always going to go bad when you start a thread off by calling members fools, even if you had some valid points.

No, he/she's just having a tantrum about toys.
Hmm, another little twist.
It really did sound like a bad PR astroturfing OP though.

But over the last few days, FUD has been rising to critical levels, and it's time to re-educate some of you fools.

Why would anyone with a PR-related job use their work email for a gaming forum? Seems like playing with fire to me.
No. Or at least, we have no actual evidence of such. See the following:

The thread when the Xbone DRM was officially explained also had tons of marketers.
That shouldn't be a bannable offense.
I think you can find his other works in the "13 years of Microsoft first party studios" thread or whatever the title was.
This is a fun thread, nonetheless. Much gifs. Wow.

The lengths that people will go to defend a consumer product. I guess it's not just the law that views corporations as people.

Yup. I really don't think he's an astroturfer. He's been mostly in Nintendo threads anyway.
That said, I do think he's quite silly sometimes (sometimes he defends things in a silly way and sometimes he attacks things like some grumpy old man). OP is just ridiculous and it's really stupid to use the "b-b-but" thing as there are a lot of people who actually stutter with their words.
But again, I really don't think he's an astroturfer.

Good riddance to bad rubbish! Especially PR trolls.
I should say, if your gonna post to GAF, get your facts right! For example:
Really now?
Then how come there was a release on PC as well as PS1 for every single game? And this wasn't a release after the PS1, this was a release on PC on the same day, or a couple of days out of the PS1 release? And how come the PC release got exclusive content within 18 months of release? Content that never appears on the PS1 ever?
Lets not forget the release of Chronicles and Last Revelation on the Dreamcast! The dreamcast release of TLR coming to Europe in 1999, with the US release the following April. That's a good 3 months before your sacred 2000 expiry date!

Again, seems like there's no way to know, but if you have a massive rant and you just happen to work for a company that's linked to astroturfers AND you use it for your e-mail... and you're on NeoGAF...
I don't know. It's living in murky waters, then submerging yourself totally in them and hoping you don't drown. If that makes any sense.
I meant that the OP is even more embarrassing if he's not a shill.
I was thinking the OP post was going to get him banned anyways; but the PR bit might not be a great reason. The title of the original post would have been enough.
This got an audible laugh at work.
Fear, uncertainty, and doubt.

Doesn't appear to be. He may still be banned due to his post, but we will never see the title changed or the admins agree to the misfire.
This is another one of those things that will be a huge deal and called astroturfing even though it looks to be incorrect and we will never see anyone admit that they were wrong.
The dude has 1,200 posts and now just decides to become a paid shill? That makes no sense.

Accusing all of GAF of anything is frowned upon.

This could suggest that the account was an automated bot posting content with a mere click. Without knowing it's entire post history, I can't say for sure but that is a clue on its own.
Fear Uncertainty Doubt. It was a key tactic from MS to help them achieve OS and office suite dominance.

I guess some guys are just thirsty to find validation for their Microsoft's shills suspicions.

Plot twist, Op actually works for Sony, being exposed and banned as though he was working MS PR was all part of the plan.

Because you can't sign up for Neogaf with a free email account such as gmail. Not many people have a paid account other than work. I use my ISP email for this website even though I don't use it for anything else.
Dough you arnt the only one, I crust congratulate you on that award winning pun.
Actually you are wrong according to this link it's a database of Journalist contact info not other pr agencies. Either way this thread really did read like press release.
