Conclusive Proof that Microsoft is Evil

Post by rurouni_trelane » Sat Jan 18, 2003 8:12 pm

I kid you not, there is conclusive proof now. Go to the following website:
http://www.windowsmedia.com/mg/Games.asp?
Scroll down and see if you can find anything out of place.
Yes, that's right. On a Microsoft site, they are advertising METROID PRIME as an Xbox game.
Not only is this a serious offense in terms of false advertising, it's just wrong. They're getting non-gamers who visit the site to associate Metroid Prime with Xbox, so that when the time comes to get a console, they'll think Metroid Prime, one of the hottest games in months, is on the Xbox too.
Now, you could say that this could be a mistake, an innocent accident. But.. geez, that's one REALLY big accident. Microsoft has the money to be able to afford really good employees, and really good employees don't make huge glaring law-breaking errors like this.
In all seriousness, this is a dirty rotten thing to do, and hopefully legal action will take place.

I don't think necessity is the mother of invention - invention, in my opinion, arises directly from idleness, possibly from laziness. To save oneself trouble.

Actually, I've had that avatar for over a year now. I just haven't been on the forums much lately so you prolly haven't seen me use it.
