There are other times when people just start rumors to stir the pot or drum up business for that item. That's so true because the gaming community can be very prone to rumors and leaks as well. It becomes very hard to know what's real and what's just speculation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, anyone can just post anything on social media, and it's very hard to know what's really true and what's just a bunch of lies. It is a fact that so many garbages are being posted online all in the name of video game rumors. The most important thing is for you to know how to filter the right information so that you are going to be dealing with facts and not fake rumors.

Button Posted July 21 Share Posted July 21 What I learnt is that it's very essential to approach rumors with a healthy dose of skepticism and you also need to verify information through reputable sources too. You don't fall for every information. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is actually the reason why I follow some trusted X users when it comes to getting updates about video games because they are always accurate with the leaks they post about some video games. Same here. I also check other sources to see if the leaks are true or not. Heatman 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anders Posted July 23 Share Posted July 23 I put very little stock in rumors in general, I prefer to wait for actual announcements. Like recently all of Reddit shit itself over rumors that Xbox was shutting down. People were actually selling their consoles because they were somehow convinced they would be nothing but paperweights in a matter of weeks. What ended up happening? Absolutely nothing. Well, not nothing, I guess Xbox did end up shutting down several studios a little while later, but according to the rumors, the whole Xbox brand was going to implode.

That's a great approach to have because that's what I do too. Waiting for official announcements and verified information is always the best way to go.

Scorpion Posted October 1 Share Posted October 1 I'm usually pretty skeptical about social media rumors. Unless it's from a reliable source, I prefer waiting for confirmation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They know how to spin rumours that are not true and it tends to gain a lot of attention. I don't like wasting my time on false news which is why I make sure to use the right sources.

There are some gaming influencers that speak the truth, while a bunch of them spread false information just to attract an audience for monetisation.
