And is this just a rehash of the same news that keeps circulating here?

It's amazing how many articles are linked here that are just re-cited versions of an earlier report.

It's very possible that he did indirectly affect all those reports and that all of those sites have been copying each other and/or copying and rewording Chinamaniac's original report, or even copying this thread.

I do however think that you are dumb as hell for not understanding this. No one is saying he is affecting this as in directly controlling what news sites put out.

Actually, I was referring more towards the iGamingPost article that then gets rehashed on the fifty various two-bit 'news' sites out there.

Good assumption though. Totally didn't make you look like an idiot.

Can we stop talking about this china-stuff and discuss the really important stuff like "will I still get the bathrobe I ordered with the last of my ftp-points a few weeks after black friday if ps buys ftp?"?

Actually, since there is zero movement on the actual topic of this thread (PS purchasing FTP), I'm locking it until such time as there is significant news.

Please move your conversation (if you care to continue having it) to the FTP containment thread. This one has gone full ******.
