The fat slob was almost spot on with the PS + tiers and structure with only a dollar or two off on the prices.

If anything, Grubb is one of the only reliable leakers along with Schrier. All other random no named folks people keep posting from twitter are the ones who should be checked.

Grubb: Xbox is getting rid of Gold, online multiplayer will be free
Xbox: doubles the price of Gold (and then walked it back)

Copying Schrier’s info doesn’t make him a source.

PlayStation Plans New Service to Take On Xbox Game Pass

Sony Group Corp.’s PlayStation division is planning a new subscription service to compete with rival Microsoft Corp.’s popular Xbox Game Pass, according to people familiar with Sony’s plans and documents reviewed by Bloomberg.

Schrier's article only talked about the services.

Grubb was the first person who named the three tiers and their pricing structures, which were almost spot on.

They're both about the only two reliable leakers who are right more often than they're wrong.

Pretty sure Schrier had the info on twitter. He claims credit that he broke the tiers at least.

What’s that dumb ass are you a robot comment?

Grubb is a grade A moron, period. He’s already been banned as a source by Evilore so take it up with him.

 

[Rien]

No but I bet he pisses sitting down.

I piss while sitting down. It’s good

That topic got ultra bloated because of people's expectations and need to keep posting when there was nothing, Jeff and Tamoor were pretty clearly doing a bit online.

Lol you still running with that

Seems like the rest of the forum doesn't agree with your analysis of that chubby idiot. He's nowhere near as reliable as Schreier ffs. Get real.

Did Greg Miller piss out of his ass?

Spoiler

This will eventually get old, but not yet for me

The common thread for Sony acquisitions so far is talent. Konami doesn’t have an abundance of that and has relatively little IP. Even worse, that IP doesn’t have attached studios to go with it for the most part. Sony would have to contract teams to create IP for it. So far their purchases have had teams ready, full of talent and with an assessed quality about them.

Capcom and WB make much more sense, especially Capcom, but they are very expensive.

Xbox tried to get rid of Gold by doubling its price, making everyone switch to Gamepass. Grubb never miss

I agree. Sony doesn't have an IP problem; they aren't after those IPs as Microsoft is.

Regarding Capcom: IIRC, they are actually cheaper than Konami.

Jeff Grubb has revealed a lot about Xbox as far as i know. It's not like the guy is a random twitter insider. The guy works in the field and has his sources as a gaming journalist.

It's pretty obvious some stuff is happening "back stage". Maybe some big acquisition is about to happen, maybe talks of one, etc...

And Jeff's info on Sony, about how they deal with leaks is pretty obvious that it's true at this point.

Jason Schreier hasn't mentioned these acquisition rumors...so that means it's still probably something not set in stone for sure.

These companies are always in acquisition talks guys...i wouldn't be surprised if Sony has tried to go for Square-Enix or old Squaresoft, Capcom, even Konami for the past 25 years...just like Microsoft tried to buy Nintendo back in the day and left people laughing at a meeting back in the day. It's just business.

Probably someone heard something from Sony's side. I find it weird that both Greg and Jeff heard the same rumor from different sources and multiple sources...
Greg isn't the type to spread fud like this. The sources were probably good and he expected more this past week.

You guys hate everyone i mentioned on my post for some reason but come on, let's not pretend none of them have ties within the industry, lmao.

Indeed they are, but I was working under the assumption that Sony would only buy gaming related parts of Konami rather than the extras.

He just copied Schreier's infos adding some made up credible pricing using current Plus and Gamepass prices as a reference.
He didn't know anything about Spartacus.

Can't reason with people who have irrational hatred of other people or things.

 

[DenchDeckard]

Jeff grubb hits more than he misses. He stands by his Xbox live gold statement. He was wrong. You can’t be right all the time, plans change. I’m sure he heard something and MS may have Been entertaining it.

fuck All these leaks though.

 

[BacklashWave534]

Yeah but fuck Greg Miller though.

But he's the spokeman for soy boys everyone across the Internet. He was even brave enough to betray his best friend for Twitter likes!

 

[Portugeezer]

I think they are talking about this. regardless they both don't know shit, its a simple case of

Stupid to delay a show anyway, just record an extra thing if it's so big.

This was for attention, and it worked.
