Bungie apparently wants to offer the “optimal gameplay experience.” I call bullshit on that as well as on their [...]

One should also note how seemingly easy this discovery was made and hence how little research was put into this by the corporate media. Sometimes, a cover-up doesn’t entail much of anything, just blind faith in believing what the powers that be keep telling you. [...]
As many have feared and predicted, the temporary and unprecedented freedoms we enjoy could be coming to an end shortly. And America is leading the way of course. InfoWars has looked at some of these troubling trends.

Accusations are flying over claims that Nvidia was using massive guerilla marketing. And from the looks of it, Nvidia aren’t alone either.
Boing Boing - Nvidia stands accused of hiring online actors to create dozens of personae in online forums, where they won gamers’ trust by talking about subjects unrelated to Nvidia’s products, and then splurged [...]
