Greg Miller was supposed to be the nerd hero. The true gamer who had no shame and would popularize the hobby while being funny and honest…he sold out so hard…

If they knew anything, they would just say it. Thye need the clicks, they crave the followers. Bunch of parasites if you ask me

 

[MatrixReloaded101]

I'm disappointed that a thread with Greg Miller in the title reached 13 pages.

13 pages of nothing ….

And they are already doing damage control:

 

[FoundryMusic]

Well at least there will be news...

Ethomaz is banned?

Think it's killer instinct related

We're all dopamine junkies, but sadly, this is their form of addiction to it.

 

[Bryank75]

These 'insiders'.... what a pack of pricks!

 

[reksveks]

Grubb did say it was PSVR2 and then a big Sony acquisition related but the latter came from a second hand source.

For all you people complain about bullshit leakers, this thread is on page 14.

You're the only reason they keep doing it.

 

[crunchyBiscuits]

I'm telling you, every time someone leaks a date for something, Sony comes in and changes it. Discredits the leaker etc. It's the only possible explanation!!

greg overhyped it. why the fuck you delaying your podcast for a spartacus blogpost? he knew what he was doing and made it sound much bigger than it is.

Or was it supposed to be something else?

 

[Tiago Rodrigues]

I honestly believe Sony does a lot of "fake leaks" or something similar. I mean...there's people that know so much about Xbox but somehow...Sony is totally different?

Let's put it this way: Sony has almost 20 studios, almost all of them are working on multiple titles. They have multiple teams working on 3rd party deals, working on acquisitions, etc...but nothing ever leaks from them.

I do think that sometimes where there's smoke, there's fire. 90% of these "insiders" are nothing...but some are usually accurate for other brands.

I doubt he wil have anything worth to say.

Not that I enjoy defending Greg Miller, but he runs a Playstation podcast. Spartacus and classics finally being available on post-2006 hardware is big Playstation news regardless of how shitty people might think the service is.

For comparison their last episode had a 38 minute preview of a Ghostbusters game. I'd have done the same.

how convenient that is for these guys. something was coming but sony unexpectedly delayed it! sorry!

 

[AmuroChan]

Any one with a brain should know that's BS and not how multi-billion dollar corporations operate. They're not going to change their plans because some rando on Twitter heard a rumor. Can you imagine Apple delaying announcing the new iPhone because the news got leaked?

 

[kyliethicc]

Kinda funny how so much of games media bit on a fake rumor.

 

[xHunter]

Someone post what he says, I can't listen right now.

3 Rumours:

1. PS+
2. PSVR2 event
3. Stuff about a big acquisition from Sony, but dont quote him on that. Its more like people talking and it could take weeks or months before we hear anything, if it is true.

Didnt watch it after that

 

[Cyber_hunter026]

Gotta give it to ol greggy here. one tweet sent 50% if not 70% of the media onto a wild goose chase. what's greggy doing right now you say?

 

[Dr Bass]

This is Kinda Stupid.

But why would he do this if he didn't have anything? For what gain?

I'll sum this up for you. They know his preferred brand influencer role, and they're not going to bread and butter him.

It really is that simple.

 

[AmuroChan]

But why would he do this if he didn't have anything? For what gain?

Sometimes you just can't rationalize what someone else's thinking is. Maybe he really thought he had something, but the sources were bad. Maybe he was just craving attention. No one will ever know but him.

 

[NeoGiffer]

[Cyber_hunter026]

It's hard to say, I don't mean he did it for malicious purposes or to just get a reaction out of anyone. sometimes these so called insiders get fed information. sometimes it doesn't turn out to be 100% true.

 

[mckmas8808]

Sometimes you just can't rationalize what someone else's thinking is. Maybe he really thought he had something, but the sources were bad. Maybe he was just craving attention. No one will ever know but him.

Makes me wonder if that "source" contact a few people just to see if they could make them look bad. Because Greg and Jeff wouldn't have done this for no reason at all. They need to vet those sources out better next time.

 

[Captain Toad]

At least this all made Greg Miller look like even more a dumbass.

He's such a fan of cancel culture, he should cancel himself over this.

 

[Borowski_1]

when is the podcast taking place? is it public?

THIS is why these guys do this crap. Don't give Greg Miller your time of day, there's better gaming podcasts.

i just wanna hear what he has to say

what are his excuses

 

[Lone Wolf]

Well at least there will be news...

hes reporting that Xbox gamepass family plan is coming. That is all this is.

 

[Kacho]

how convenient that is for these guys. something was coming but sony unexpectedly delayed it! sorry!

Sony will announce something at some point! Just you wait!

 

[CGiRanger]

Colin Moriarty sure has ended up sooooo much better after getting far away from Greg Miller and his ilk.

 

[Dr Bass]

So this guy is saying the other news was supposed to be another acquisition. This whole thing is bizarre.

What people need to realize is Sony has some of the strictest NDAs in the industry as well as a culture of letting work shine when it's meant to. Friends I've known for years wouldn't even talk about PS5 right up until the June 2020 event, but were happy to share third party info they'd heard through the grapevine. You'll likely only find real leaks through contractors or QA who really don't care about their careers or don't know any better and want their 15 minutes on the internet.

Also, people are unreliable. Even if someone works for one of these companies doesn't mean they have correct info or the entire picture. I'd heard from a Nintendo contact before the Switch expansion was announced that gamecube/GBA games would included, but that obviously didn't happen.

Basically don't trust leaks (unless they come from Jason Schreier)

Greg confirmed the 3 things he heard.
First one was Spartacus, which he already mentioned on Monday
Second one was PSVR2 related which ended up being nothing
And the third one was... an acquisition

Damn, I don't know why it appears like that but I'll leave the links on the post.

 

[Elios83]

Quite frankly the only reliable gaming journalist in the industry is Schreier (regardless if you like him or not).
The rest are just people seeking attention to different degrees, they might get something right here and there but the rest is flooded in bullshit.
I know people want to get hyped but they shouldn't fall for this stuff constantly without learning anything.

yeah, schreier is the only one who is reliable and takes it seriously. he wouldnt say something unless he knows it for sure. should have known that greg miller wouldnt know shit. didnt colin moriarty start the bluepoint bloodborne II rumour aswell? we are yet to see if that is true.

 

[balls of snow]

Yeah looks like sony just did a big fuck you to insiders/ leakers and delay what they want to show. Wonder if it is Square now.
