Michael Bay says that Microsoft conspires against DVDs

Blu-ray, HD-DVD, and the horrible conspiracy behind it all

Michael Bay says that Microsoft conspires against DVDs Image 1

Michael Bay is a film director. He has made some big flicks, with explosions and gunfights, such as Transformers. But not only does he direct movies, but he also generates conspiracy theories regarding Microsoft, in his spare time.

Recently on his "Ask Michael Bay" sub-forum from his personal website, a fan asked Mr. Bay about the general unavailability of Bay's films in the Blu-ray format. Michael Bay had this to say on the matter: 

"What you don't understand is corporate politics. Microsoft wants both formats to fail so they can be heroes and make the world move to digital downloads. That is the dirty secret no one is talking about. That is why Microsoft is handing out $100 million dollar checks to studios just embrace the HD DVD and not the leading, and superior Blu Ray. They want confusion in the market until they perfect the digital downloads. Time will tell and you will see the truth."

Are the format wars just a big diversion from the development of digital downloads? Does Microsoft have some sort of agenda? Are the Free Masons involved... or the Lizard People! Only time will tell, according to Michael Bay.

What in the world..?!

Maybe we should get rid of physical disks anyways.

Or even better, lets just bring out the Holo-Disks!

Actually, they do have prototype holo-drives. I wrote a story on that a few months ago... I've forgotten what they are called though.

Holo-drives ftw. Although I'm still using DVDs myself.

Well, I don't doubt that there are factions trying to kill off the discs. Is it MS? Who knows. No matter what MS thinks, I will NEVER feel comfortable with just a digital product and will always desire a hard copy. Especially with the way their SW fails all the time.

Ya, I hear ya. It's hard to lose an entire DVD collection from a virus
