Michael Pachter has been vilified by many gamers. He receives almost as much hate as Activision and EA. There are memes all over the internet making fun of Pachter’s actions and predictions. Honestly, Pachter does not deserve all of the hate he receives from gaming outlets and enthusiast. Here are the most popular attacks against Patcher and why most of them are unwarranted.
Even as the company sets out to overhaul the very definition of Xbox, cuts at its studios risk creating a negative image reminiscent of EA's worst era
I appreciate the article but this guy must be living in a delayed universe, The reputation was ruined 10+ years ago and hasn't recovered since. As such people have voted with their wallets and stopped buying Xbox products in large amounts.
Rumors of Turn 10 being either shut down or hit with massive lay offs is on the horizon.
The issue is MS will do something right only to do something very, very wrong. And they do this what seems calculative at this point. Doesn't matter what they do the Investors and leadership want more and more money an endless bottomless pit of purr insatiable greed. A company that acts like it's broke or hurting is what really, really infuriates me. They've surpassed apple again well over 3 trillion who acts like they're a million dollar company is fk stupid. Pivots and changes for no reason and can't do things for more than a year with out a pivot or changing their metrics.
Ross Scott—also known as Accursed Farms on YouTube—has been fighting tooth and nail for almost a full year to help spearhead game preservation. Starting after it was announced that Ubisoft's The Crew would be shutting down, permanently ending support for the game, Scott launched the "Stop Killing Games" initiative.
That makes a twofold deadline for the Stop Killing Games initiative. Or, at least, one headed up by Scott: The UK petition, which ends July 14, and the EU Citizens' Initiative, which ends July 3.
If you live in the EU then Please sign this or our game ownership rights and game preservation is
at stake. I know there isnt much time left but please consider signing the petition
People whine and in the end don't do a thing. Then whine more when they get screwed some more smh. If this makes it then it'll be monumental for consumers. That Pirate software guy was no help either smh.

"Players can now hide system apps, pin favorites to the list, and reduce the number of tiles displayed. This update is part of our ongoing effort to make Home more personal, flexible, and responsive to feedback."
This is welcomed, i like a less cluttered home screen.
Gotta be a slow news day when a 18 hours and 3 comments (now 4)makes it to the front page🤷🏿
.
Well anything that adds and help gamers is a good thing even if some don’t need it there’ll be more that will use it.
Perhaps because he makes stupid claims? Maybe that's why? I don't hate the dude, I just don't think he knows what he's talking about half the time.
I dont hate him, I dont really hate anyone, even the Welsh man my Mum ran away with
I just dont agree with alot of what he has to say, or even care what he has to say, I personally have no use for any of his market predictions etc, im not into making money, im not an investor
If I could "ignore" him like I can other N4G users I would, same as Peter Molyneux
"Why Do Games Hate Pachter?"
Not sure. But then I didn't know games could hate anyone.
@stylishjerk
lol It's fine. Just found it humorous is all. Back on topic, I don't hate Pachter either. He just tends to be wrong a lot of the time and makes very wild claims at times. Frankly I don't see why people give him so much attention.
I agree not everyone hates him, but when you have articles like from wiiudaily saying, "Mirror, Mirror on the wall who is the worst analyst of them all" these are journalists saying these things its pretty ridiculous.
Let the guy do his job, no hate here. ;)
