Xbox Spain Community Manager harassed off Twitter for sharing a PS4 game on her personal account

So do you think toxic fanboys are just people who are salty they can't afford all the systems, and would gladly own them all given the choice? That makes a lot of sense.
I could say the same about you. The account is not mine and I will not argue about that anymore with you guys who come from nowhere and started this bs. I will say again you guys started that i don't have any war or ban on this forum i never have been rude to anyone here or started any console war. So just stop.
I play all consoles and PC so it doesn't matter for me. One guy was accusing me of be harsh of xbox performance what is lie.
I don't want continue with that if you or any other guy keep going on with that I will report you guys.
I very much doubt it. Yes, people are jaelous over others owning nice things, but the absolute minority is being a toxic idiot about it. From my personal experience, I can say that these toxic (and well known) fanboys could easily afford any console/platform they want, but they chose not to, because of ridiculous reasons like loyalty and etc.
That is totally the same as gamers sending bomb threats, you're right.
I must have missed part of the earlier conversation, in no way did I intend to equate the two. I was just saying there are crazy phone fanboys too.
My point is that you'll find crazy fanboys everywhere BUT only in gaming do you see a hate movement spring up and spread to the whole of the community in a matter of weeks.
Like seriously have you seen the stupid war between DC and Marvel fans about the movies?
It's goddamn stupider than xbox/ps/nintendo but at least when someone makes talks about how it wouldn't be shit to make more inclusive products you don't have morons sending bomb threats => "fuck gamers" is much more justifiable than "fuck people with a cellphone"
also fuck people with cellphones in movie theatres
Lol these basement dwelling gAm0rz have literally no other meaning or purpose in their sad little incel lives apart from their hivemind brand loyalty.
Literal human trash. So happy my job isn't in the gaming industry, I couldn't deal with these manchildren

Obviously... but this is hardly an isolated incident of gamers/fanboys being fuckwits
Sadly it's not just gamers anymore. It's everything. Look at how insane some people get over IOS vs Android, or PC vs Mac, etc. People have just lost their minds.
That's not the Xbox One community, is the overall gaming community in Spain. It's toxic as fuck.
It's getting scary, downright scary. I'll admit I'm extremely pro Nintendo but I'll never understand why folks go to these lengths! A lot of these warriors....have built their entire identities around these companies and their pieces of plastic so much that this is all they've got. They're already struggling to find where they fit in and who they are so they cling to these companies for that. To them, this "war" is very real and very serious business. They're literally soldiers battling for their company of choice. It gives them purpose and satisfaction. And that...is truly frightening. These are the folks I truly worry for because at SOME point they're going to snap out of this..they're gonna be in their 50s suddenly wondering "What the hell have I been doing with my life the last 20 to 30 years!?" The problem is they can't get those years back. I dont understand what worthwhile or beneficial outcome they think they'll get out of this. It's not worth it.
I saw something earlier this year, in real life at a store that illustrates how far out of hand this console warring has gotten. I thought this crap was limited to online but I was wrong...I was in a Wal Mart near me looking through the electronics section and this guy, a grown ass man comes in informing the sales guy he explicitly wants a PS4. In a non biased way, she asks him what kind of games in general he likes and he tells her each genre foloowed by but only on Sony consoles nothing else. She takes him over to the Switch kiosk and just shows him all of Nintendo's latest first party games and about the switch itself plus all the different ways he can play it. She encourages him to try the demo kiosk....I shit you not he totally loses it at this point....slaps and then punches the TV screen HARD and tells the girl very loudly "You've gotta be fucking kidding me if you think I'll seriously consider this for even a moment!! Still nothing but the same tired Mario and Zelda from them!? No, fuck Nintendo! We asked them to grow with us, make new games, more mature ganes and competent online! They didn't listen so fuck them!" She hands him the Switch box just so he could look at it, he throws it on the ground. At this point the sales girl is visibly shaken, just shaking her head at this. Takes him to the Xbox kiosk just showing him the unique stuff they have and he flew off the handle again. Finally she takes him to the PS4 kiosk and he yels "Took you long enough! This is exactly what i want, ring me up a PS4. P...S....4!! I don't know what part of this you can't understand. Sony is king and always wins baby! The PlayStation nation will always stand tall with Sony!" She rings him up and he leaves yelling long live Sony, etc. Bless that poor sales girl, I don't know how she did it!! Once again, grown ass man acting like this.
The three heads congratulate each other, are fans of each other's products and encourage gamers to do the same. Why can't they? Is it really too much to ask and expect??
Kinda off topic but why would a salesperson insist on showing off another brand when the customer was clear on what they wanted? Not excusing the customers' rude behaviour as that's not acceptable, but the salesperson herself sounds like they had their own personal bias and agenda when they should have instead just shown the customer what they asked for.
I experienced something like this myself recently. I was chasing a new PS4 Pro (to go with my 1X) and the salesperson I was dealing with was only interested in telling me how high the fault return rate was for the PS4 consoles and how much better the Xbox hardware was, and how apparently most of their customers were returning the PS4's and swapping to Xbox consoles instead. I was just shaking my head thinking nobody asked for your fanboy opinion bud, just sell me what I asked for.
So your conclusion, because i think different than you, is that i am a fanboy or blind. Aha. Interesting behavior.
I'll tell you something, maybe the biggest Spanish forum besides forocoches is probably EOL, a videogame forum that started with hacking consoles as its initial goal. Then it evolved and became a big gaming forum. And that one had a really active and aggressive XB community unless things have changed a lot. And certainly not smaller than the Sony fanbase. They also kinda joined forces with the Nintendo fans vs PS ones , especially last gen, for console wars.
The are other forums, maybe meristation is big enough, that was more Sony biased, but the Spanish online gaming community sure doesn't reflect the huge gap in sales that Sony has over MS
In fact Spain doesn't 'hate' MS, it basically ignores it. And both Sony and Nintendo have managed to gain customer fidelity.
Of course you'll find Sony Fanboys, and also other people that are just assholes and whatever they own is the best, be it a PlayStation an iPhone or an Audi A4.
But that's it. And justifying those tweets because a few xbox fans feel offended by a few Sony Fanboys is ridiculous
Console wars are big here in Spain for some reason. One of the reasons I stopped visiting a few gaming forums, they'd become insufferable.
Sadly having worked retail in my youth I 100 percent believe this. Even back in the late 90's early 2000s people like this exsisted.
It is not good to generalize things...
Fanboys are fanboys everywhere.
And it is not good what they've done to the xbox CM...
The fact that you say that I justified those tweets speaks volumes about how far from the truth your perception is.
This is a huge problem in spanish communities too. Some people truly believe there's a conspiracy from the press against Xbox.
After having played both console versions of Overwatch, I can see why someone would opt for the PS over Xbox (latter has a smaller playerbase)... doesn't clearly say what happened in the OP, the community manager closed their account after the harassment? What was the final outcome of everything?
This.
I mean, not all the press, but people like Juan Puig from Eurogamer or Marta Triviño from Anait are clearly biased.
Well in one of your first posts here you kinda justify the tweets because you say xbox fans are harassed or something in Spain. That is just untrue. It happens, of course, both ways (including Nintendo fans, PC fans..). And all of your posts in this thread are about how bad Xbox fans life is in Spain, and because of that they are aggressive, not because they are assholes or Fanboys (the ones with that attitude), just like are the Sony or Nintendo ones. So yes, that is my perception, v and obviously helps that you called me blind or sony fanboy
Just like that guy that posted that 'review of PlayStation in 2018' in kotaku is biased. Can we agree then by your metric that English language videogame journalists and sites in the world are against Sony?
