Blocked that guy a while ago. It was pretty much almost every day a new "insider scoop". Dude acted like he had more knowledge of Sony's workings than Jim Ryan himself. Look more into his history and you find out he's a thieving scumbag who has been lying about more than just leaks for years.

I had that guy on mute when I was using twitter.Uh ok.....so those guys are giving that dude every bit of the attention he was seeking.
I was very suspicious about his rumors, considering Sony is very tight lips just like that Bungie deal.

I kinda like that guy. It’s just stream of consciousness fanboy hopes and dreams presented as insider info.

Reminds me of the infamous PS5 teraflop leaks before the system specs were revealed. New rumour every other week.
The new trend of fake leaks have now moved onto "acquisitions", because of course some dickhead on the internet is claiming to know the inner-workings and secret deals/talks/discussions of multiple multi-billion dollar corporations.

Way too many idiots on the internet. Learned a long time ago don't listen to rumors no matter how big, small, level of interest in them being true or false. Just don't partake.
They are jealous.Uh ok.....so those guys are giving that dude every bit of the attention he was seeking.

I wonder what narratives will be used to fulfill the five stages of grief:
Denial: Is not going to be approved
Anger: is a monopoly, MS buying its way to the industry, is not fair!!!
Bargaining: Sony buying T2,Capcom,S-E, Ubisoft, EA, CDProject Red anything to teach MS not to mess with team blue!!
Depression: Acquisitions and Consolidation are truly bad and the industry is going to suffer and videogames are not fun anymore.
Acceptance: whatever....it is what it is. but i am still mad at MS

Will he ever let us know if Acclaim and Midway were bought yet?

You would have to be brain-dead to have believed Sony was acquiring the publisher that owns Rockstar. Take-Two is worth almost $20B.

The other thread went 10 pages and probably 50 or 60 pages on that crazy forum that split from this place.
That twitter guy should make a rumor that Sony is about to buy Nintendo, just watch the internet explode.

Says the dude who regularly originates rumors from his singular Twitter account.
Look, I know this T2 Twitter goon is BS, but Schrier calling him out for attention whoring is the pot calling the kettle black.

Perhaps, but waaayyy too many financial news outlets picked it up. I don't source my news from Benzinga, but they are influential enough to get an SMH response from me over the current state of journalism with this garbage.

Take Two had no rumors of being acquired before this. Usually a wave of rumors happen at once. Sony doesn’t really have anyone willing to sell, especially at their current budget.
Most likely case is square enix splits, and Sony buys the Final Fantasy and Kingdom Hearts half. But even then, don’t think Sony cares enough.

Always thought some behind the scenes marketing deal got spun into something it isn't. No idea how it reached the level of an acquisition.

When it comes to PlayStation, it's this guy, Roberto Serrano, and FoxyGamesUK that are the trifecta of fuckery.

News outlets have sucked at sourcing forever and are exceedingly gullible. Look at the people who perpetrated the Wikipedia hoax about the inventor of the toaster.
Alan MacMasters: How the great online toaster hoax was exposed
How a 15-year-old schoolboy exposed a much-repeated "fact" as a Wikipedia hoax.
www.bbc.com
Media and academia ate it right up without bothering to ensure that it was accurate. Media consistently runs with whatever they read whether it's true or not because they're chasing ad revenue. I don't blame the moron who made up the rumor. I blame the moron games journalist who would rather be first than be right.

Guy shouldn't of been getting any attention whatsoever. he puts out a bunch of vague, tales from of his ass hints and rumors. 100% they all turn out to be bs. there was a twitter thread, one called "jack of all controllers exposed" the so called lumberjack or whatever his name is, was the founder of that site. from countless lies, to threats of firing his employees if they called in sick, to holding contests only, to never award the winner what they won. to racism and more.

Yeah, that Rythian is a fraud and a clout chaser. No point using him as a source of any leak or rumor.

You would have to be an absolute idiot to:
1. Follow this clout chaser.
2. Believe the shit he spouts.
I'll honestly never understand why a news site used this random twitter person as a news source, it's genuinely embarrassing imo.

Oh boy, you should look at some of the embarrassing comments in the other thread.
