Gearbox paid shills on Yea Forums? Never happened before at all.

absolutely 100%
it's an anonymous forum that is exceptionally popular
Remember all the KFC Visual Novel posts? The news broke almost simultaneously with game release on steam.

Yes. You will see daily threads on games that NOBODY gives a fuck about and they vanish post-release. I think one of the recent ones I'e seen is the ones listing "all of the new features so far of FIFA 2020"

someone post the call of duty advanced warfare caps

anthem had a few before launch posting that shitty webm of the melee "combat" like it was good

Yes. Astroturfing in particular is a large problem here

no, every post is a natural opinion made by natural peiple like myself
buy borderlands 3

It has become so bad that I've seen Patreon devs shilling their pyramid schemes on Yea Forums.

yes, but i doubt it's as big as people think

This happens every time new Boredomlands launches, same shit every time. Have you seen a single screenshot, a webm or anything game related ? No, just promotional pictures, because actual human beings don't play this games. Every thread just derails into BUY BUY BUY, no discussion about the game itself. ever.

It's bait. It's always been bait. Making this thread just guaranteed they'll do it a couple more times.

Publishers have absolutely no reason not to shill the everloving fuck out of whatever release here. It's a very easy way to reach a mass audience and, rather insidiously I think, isn't immediately obvious it's advertisement. Plus, there's no proof and nobody gives a shit about Yea Forums crying about shills, so there's basically no downsides.

Well they're doing a shit job at it cause I didn't know about games like Control, Man of Medan, or Days Gone until after they released and until after Yea Forums bitched about them

infamous is a form of popularity

Lots of people come here, that makes it popular.

Well, yeah, of course. Whole lot more autism, though.

don't rely on PPH there's loads of people lurking. and what's more is that they take whatever they see here and spread it to other online discussion boards. Yea Forums hilariously still has a reputation for "the harsh truth" in the eyes of normalfags even though it's pozzed to the gills.

You have to be the most delusional retarded faggot to not thinking there is shilling around the clock here on Yea Forums. Whether it be paid third party shills, first party shills doing it for pay/passion, or autists with an agenda (/gif/ is a great example of this), there is someone always trying to push some dumb idea
here.

You can pay some dumb bitch a six figure salary to come up with some outdated ad campaign for your product, or you can pay some autistic retard minimum wage (or rather the company that employs him) to astroturf your shit around the clock. If it's any sort of serious issue there'll be loads of people willing to do it for free as well.


this so much
why would you NOT shill on Yea Forums?

>Yea Forums hilariously still has a reputation for "the harsh truth" in the eyes of normalfags
It never had that reputation among anyone except people on Yea Forums with a false sense of superiority.
