Cosas m\u00e1s raras hemos visto.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">La realidad es otra mucho m\u00e1s triste y gris: el mito de que Bowie hab\u00eda creado el &#8216;Conecta 4&#8217; <strong>fue manufacturada por Stuart Maconie, un presentador brit\u00e1nico conocido por sus <a href=\"https:\/\/www.softonic.com\/articulos\/va-a-comprar-xbox-a-nintendo-no-es-una-broma-es-una-estrategia\" title=\"bromas\">bromas<\/a><\/strong> y sus trolas al estilo El Mundo Today.
