Hard Drive subsequently wrote a story announcing Sony would be releasing a "pro version of boots for Keighley to lick", which made our PS5 Pro memes round up:
Earlier today it posted a picture of a truck filled with dollar bills, and attached the caption "Geoff Keighley on his way home from PlayStation HQ". The host subsequently responded with a GIF saying "show me the receipts":
This prompted Hard Drive to capture a video of Keighley's live blog from the PS5 Pro presentation, with the caption: "Did you forget to invoice them?" Keighley responded with a Hard Drive message celebrating the release Astro Bot, writing: "Will send mine in right after yours!"
In a final exchange, Hard Drive simply sent Keighley an infamous image of a teleprompter at The Game Awards, where victors were prompted to "please wrap it up" – in reference to their acceptance speeches. Keighley said: "How original! Love the site, though!"
And that seems to have concluded the war of words for now, although we suspect this is going to prompt Hard Drive to go even harder on Keighley in future articles. It'll be quite amusing to see how this war of words develops; for now, all seems calm on the frontlines.
