People are really bending over backwards to defend Verge.... I think his cult is crumbling lmao.
Mostly because people are jumping to BTFO him when his track record has never been spotless. The man has made lots of mistakes before, and will again. That doesn’t discredit him for being completely right for the base game and doesn’t mean he becomes useless as a source.
Yes, his credibility took a big hit between yesterday and the Minecraft content claim, he’s in a worse place than he was. Doesn’t mean there isn’t reliable information he has somewhere. I’d like to take the opportunity to remind everyone that Mario and Rabbids was known about for ages before it was finally revealed at E3 in 2017. There is a real possibility that some info could be real and the timing of the reveal was not. Something not showing up in the Direct doesn’t mean it was guaranteed leak bait.
Verge took a hit in credibility, no denying that. But people have been so desperate to throw him out ever since he first came around (myself included circa September) that of course people are jumping way too far to the “he’s done” narrative.
All he has to do is be right again for things to turn the other way. He’s had correct sources before, so it’s worth continuing to pay attention to him even if he was hard wrong this time around. His Smash track record in particular is nice, though also shakier as of recent, so he’s not going away despite some people’s best attempts.
