Peter Moore: I pulled Sega out of the hardware market
Peter Moore: I pulled Sega out of the hardware market
VideoGaming247 - September 15, 2008

A Guardian interview with Peter Moore has yielded probably the frankest ever description of Dreamcast’s demise, the exec saying he personally made the call to pull Sega out of the hardware market and head in the direction of multi-format publishing.
“It was a big stakes game. Sega had the option of pouring in more money and going bankrupt and they decided they wanted to live to fight another day. So we licked our wounds, ate some humble pie and went to Sony and Nintendo to ask for dev kits.”

I believe there is no specific problem with this one article, the problem as others have mentioned before is with the frequency and the overall quality of your postings.
It's clear you are going with a shotgun approach trying to get as many bids as possible by posting as much content as possible and seeing what works and removing what doesn't, however this approach ends up earning you a reputation for spamming the boards. Now nobody reads your articles even if they are good because they don't want to wade through the ten mediocre articles you've posted that day to find the one good post.
Occasionally you come out to defend one of your articles by claiming that your post is insightful and relevant, however ALL your posts should be insightful or relevant. Maybe you should cut back to only posting news articles that you're willing to defend.

I don't know about double post, but I think this one's negative bid came from "things that happened a long long time ago, and yet didn't really have any significance toward today's happening, since the person has left his old company, and joined a S/W only company, which didn't have any indication to go into H/W market, so we are not sure what kind of value is inherent in this article" kind of thing.[ Oracle ] [ Level 30 ] [ Rank: 14935 ]bids

Well, if he still didn't listen, then there is a possibility that he will never cross the 1,000 post milestone (and get the bonus), since the negative bids might be more than the upbids (I knew that he is hovering on the 900+ upbids for at least one week, possibly two, and he hadn't crossed the 1,000 post yet today)
