    The rag called metro making news from random stuff again, I see. This is not even news. It’s literally “reporting” that something is not happening.

    Like this: “Intel not buying AMD for 6B$” Industry insiders report that Intel has decided not to buy their rivals for 6B$. The CEO of AMD has reportedly stated having no interest in selling to Intel. Their spokesperson, when confronted with this breaking news, replied “WTF have you been smoking, Pringles?” We will continue to report on this story as it continues to develop.

      Metro is owned by the Daily Mail Group, which is why they’re so shit. It’s an output for news-esque shitposting.

      There was some brief hullabaloo where some nobody on Xitter claimed M$ was considering the buying Valve for 12B$. No sources, no credibility, but some news sources started talking about it like it was news.
