It is almost like they are paying people to defend and promote them and their products on social media

Some people really are unable to separate the product from the business. They like the product, therefore they give these companies leeway for anything.

Could it be that there are people who legitimately like their products, business practices aside?

Nah, couldn't be.

tbf I wouldn't put Ubisoft and EA in the same group. I don't know where Activision fits in since the only thing I can name of theirs any more is Call of Duty.

Rayman, assassin's creed and far cry are all great franchises.

Watch dogs is poop, as is the crew.

Fifa is fifa, you'd think with football being the most popular sport on the planet by a mile you'd have tons of choice for games but there you go.

Cod and battlefield are shit, I can't stand either of them.

Titanfall is brilliant.

Does that make me a shill or not?

Could it be that these companies have already been busted for paying people to shill for them?

Yeah I mean that has totally happened already.

Activision/Blizzard have been doing a lot of anti-consumer practices.

I don't agree with everything they do, but the outrage against them is ridiculously stupid. 90% of it seems to be that people feel they are entitled to have tons of free content to last them years for any game that comes out because some games have ended up that way.

But at this point, it's like organizing a hate group for a movie you don't like; it's pointless and you are better off just not buying their products or talking about them instead of giving them tons of free publicity and making us gamers look like assholes.

But is it fair to apply the shill gambit to anybody who has anything positive to say about their products?

Why would I? It's a decent song but lets not get carried away now.
