He earned it by being a nice guy who has been very transparent about his information and sources. He is not trying to mislead anyone, and so far he hasn't actually been wrong yet.

So maybe instead of us NEEDING to defend him people can just stop shitting on him, perhaps?

He wasn't really right on the Smash 5 fighter 5 though now was he? Or do I misremember.

I agree. He's seems like a great guy. No need to shit on him. He said two directs in Feb and if there aren't two directs in Feb, we can move on not believing his sources anymore.

Some of you need to calm down. I too have a few people I trust who've said there were going to be two Directs this month. Plans can and do change; MPT is a good example. I get being disappointed, but when it's reached the point where people are being called lying whores then it's time to hit the pause button and examine your behavior.
You didn't hear about the direct that was supposed to happen in January?

Cleary there are no 2020 titles. The 100m dream is dead, they'll be lucky to get to 50m at this point. It's the Wii U all over again.

btw I refuse to hear that my concerns about Animal Crossing are baseless from now on, this game completely skipped the info stage and instead went from announcement to radio silence to 30 second commercials. if that doesn't worry you than I envy you completely

Not really worried. People who love Animal Crossing have been waiting for this game for years, it's simple existence is the main selling point. They can totally get away with revlealing very little about it. If anything, this proves that they're very confident in the game. And an AC Direct this week is still very possible, in any case.

and yeah, I'm inclined to believe Zippo doesn't know anything. Which isn't to say he sucks or to try to be mean to him in any way, I just don't see any reason to trust what he says regarding Nintendo info

At this point, I'd take even an Animal Crossing Direct. And I don't even care about Animal Crossing (my SO does, however, so it'd be cool to see it with her).

Transparent as in blaming them?

When did he blame anyone? He told us what he heard, he said he trusts his source and stands by it. If it turns out that it's wrong, so be it but he's clearly not attempting to mislead anyone.

He wasn't really right on the Smash 5 fighter 5 though now was he? Or do I misremember.

He was making educated guesses about Byleth and yeah he wasn't right about it, but I don't think he ever presented his guesses as inside info. So far I don't think he has gotten anything specifically right or wrong, in terms of insider predictions.

Last week: "All of us are going on a self-imposed exile for a while*

*most people return within 12-24 hours*

Today: "I can't believe this happened again"

This thread is an abusive relationship confirmed.

What did those sources tell you about that turned out true and weren't revealed elsewhere?
I agree. He's seems like a great guy. No need to shit on him. He said two directs in Feb and if there aren't two directs in Feb, we can move on not believing his sources anymore.
Basically. Nice guy, but now everyone can agree there's no reason to believe his sources.

Hey guys, turns out Animal Crossing New Horizons is probably just a regular Animal Crossing game with light crafting that takes place on an island. Let's all act surprised when they actually confirm this.

I'm not worried at all. It's Animal Crossing. It'll be great! We'll see more soon.


Right? He hasn't gotten anything right so far.

Yeah that's how it will work. If his "leaks" don't happen, then everyone moves on from taking him serious just like many others in the past.

I'm sorry not at all? i can't follow you....
He ain't wrong tho. Zippo is verified to possibly know about stuff from certain sources. Doesn't mean his sources are right all the time.
You clearly can't exclude Zippo lying, but in all honesty, why should he do that? The consequences, as you can clearly see, are negative only.
You gotta take responsibility for your claims. First, you need to judge the veracity of a certain info based on your source's situation. Then, you need to decide whether this information is reliable enough to share with the whole world (often times, this kind of insider information includes very sensitive topics and can lead to substantial harm). If you got bad intel, you take the fall, because it's you who decided to declare yourself an insider and it's you who chose to let others in on a piece of info you yourself deemed reliable.
