Internet trolling reaches new lows, as a group of console warriors posts fake "placeholder" listings of Playstation and Nintendo games on Amazon France.



Edit: Looks like it technically wasn't a hack.

I don't believe it is hack... if you get in the 3rd-party seller program in Amazon you can create any entry you want.
So you legit create product pages entries... that doesn't mean what you are selling is real lol

It is more like scam?

We have like a dozen of these threads caused by this incident. Let's just post here all the fake listings, please.

Edit 2: Thanks for the title correction, Mod of War .

Xbox Discord (maybe Telegram now) trying too much again.

 

[icerock]

They are just trying to enroll themselves on Microsoft MVP Program, the Discord group may help them out on this.

 

[Agnostic2020]

Xbox discord does another round of fud haha .they need to get a life poor souls

Fourth thread on this in a few minutes.

Must be the troll of the century.

EDIT: Five threads!

I doubt they will get anything out of this. It would really reflect poorly on Microsoft to encourage this childish behavior.

This is their retaliation for having all their alt accounts banned here.

 

[Saber]

No Mario Odyssey on PC? Nooooooooooooo!

 

[Okami Haundo]

This is a weird-ass scenario, but I'm not quite sure why folks are trying to turn it into console-warrior bait. I've yet to see a Playstation or Xbox thread on this forum that doesn't start as or devolve into console warrior nonsense.

Wow. Enlisting as a third-party seller in Amazon just for this crap?

 

[Diddy X]

Looks like a joke, any reason to take this seriously?

A for effort, I must say.

Covid-19.

This is what happens when idiots get bored.

 

[Thirty7ven]

These people need to get a life. Days Gone on PC is a great idea.

 

[TheStruggler]

And ya'll fell for it "man i cant wait to play this on my pc, going to look and run great"

 

[THEAP99]

So basically today was a bunch of rubbish. One good thing that came from it though was that it shows how thirsty people for PlayStation exclusives despite the shit-talking.

 

[FranXico]

It's not serious at all, nobody got hurt. Just a bad taste joke that got some people's hopes up (some people were looking forward to playing those games on PC soon).

[Werewolf Jones]

Someone trying to get half of Sony GAF banned for fake outrage. Whew.

 

[DunDunDunpachi]

Sounds about right.

 

[FranXico]

They forgot God of War and Ghost of Tsushima.
I'm outraged, I tell you! Outraged!!!!1!

 

[JTCx]

Shouldve held off on creating this thread. I wanted to see more naive port pegging for these "linear cinematic sony games".

 

[Psykodad]

Lockdowns aren't good for Heinrich.

 

[FranXico]

BTW, you can relax a bit now, SlimySnake .

lol haha. just saw that.

i find their denial a bit of a non denial.

"We have not made any announcements to bring these games to PC."

almost reads like not yet.

 

[a multicultural team of v]

Whew now we can all go back to hating shitty walking simulators, man that was a scary one there.

I'd say we're good until these holidays, when The Initiative reveal their work. When that happens, it's ok to like walkie talkies.

 

[Entroyp]

Tim and his clique proving they don’t have a life and will never get laid.

 

[Virex]

And the trolls didn't even have the ordacity to make a Bloodborne PC listing

 

[HarryKS]

When you think about trolling, you really have to wonder if the game is worth it.
The amount of time and effort that goes into it is not worth it for the end result.
Those people could be picking up a book or playing a game instead and this is what they choose to do.

And it's likely they won't see the fruits of their labour? That's degeneracy right there. Except they're too thick to realize it.

Or maybe I'm dumb and they're making money off of it.

I feel stupid.

oh well, a good laugh.

 

[Shmunter]

Lol, somewhat amusing. Would love to see action figures of WHO leadership.

 

[Neo Blaster]

Discord gang right now:

 

[MiyazakiHatesKojima]

Discord gang right now:

Imagine finding their childish and creepy behavior as something "positive" and "funny".

 

[Kamina]

 

[Vawn]

The sad thing is, I have a feeling the Xbox fans are more upset that all this was fake more than actual PC players.

 

[mitch1971]

So have pc players gone back to not liking days gone?

 

[Bladed Thesis]

lol haha. just saw that.

That's actually my issue with their response.

It doesn't say it was a hacking. It says it was an error. Big difference. Why would they not say "this was an external hacking" and not an "error".

 

[CatLady]

Lockdowns aren't good for Heinrich.

And Meirl, how could you forget one of the worst Xbox fanboys to ever grace NeoGAF. Oops they're the same person along with about 14 of his other whackjob fanboy alts.

It would be a bit much to accuse someone else of hacking without any evidence.

 

[joe_zazen]

hey guy, you if you can hack amd to get ‘github’, this is low hanging fruit.

come on bud, up your game! We need an official PlayStation blog post!

How did I ever doubt you?

 

[kiphalfton]

I REALLY hate that third party sellers can make their own listings on Amazon. Reason being there is like 5 listings for any one game. Such a huge PITA when looking for anything.

 

[Danjin44]

 

[Enjay]

Hilarious and I love that threads popped up here fooled by it.

Was OK until Mario Odissey appears on the list and became too obvious the troll lol.

They had even listed "PlayStation 5" on the Windows platform as well. It already was getting obvious by then.
