All suppositions throughout that post. “Believed” and “we think”. The Wata response is as fake as the claims. Please tag me when you “apparently” find out the truth. You're saying Kotaku is a fake news site and made up the quote from Wata? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anybody can post anything they want on the internet. When you search “Wata” on Kotaku every single hit is disparaging to the company. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lots of questions! Kotaku is all clickbait/controversy. I’d wager many of their articles on plenty of subjects have a similar problem of focusing on timely and consequential events (eg lawsuits, workers rights, etc). In fact news coverage in general works this way. source: was journalist it’s a much simpler explanation (occams razor I guess) and imo the more likely one. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is very little new in here for those that have been paying attention, but it is immensely gratifying to see it all spilled out in the open court of law. Can't wait to see how deep the rabbit hole goes once all the discovery documents are revealed. Also, pretty hilarious that they are actually getting called out for the racist WATA name, lol! I don't actually care about the racism angle, but it is a cherry on top nonetheless! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well the people who had the graded games at the beginning and sold them for 10x what they are worth now are certainly not dumb-fucks but the people who bought them to hold long term…well sucks for them. The whole graded market is speculative at best anyways Edited October 24, 2023 by a3quit4s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
