@Synthia @The_Last_Ride @comp_atkins I have had a union for almost 8 years and it's one of the few active ones left. I have spent a lot of effort for keeping it this way. But not even having any possibility to keep users and the community gathered is just blatantly ignorant. They told us one year ago that changes and ugrades would come to unions. They said they hadn't forgotten about the unions. It looks like they haven't forgotten about us, it's just they don't want us...
People in unions have been asking and begging for help to keep these small communities alive. We have been ignored time after time. Year after year, and loyal user that have been here through all the crap with all the glitches, all the hassle of the new site and even when people completely abandoned Gamespot after Gerstman got fired. The few of us stayed, we kept this place alive.
"This may or may not be a surprise to you, but is not without good reason. Over the years we've had many proposed fixes for Unions, including a 100+ page document that was passed around internally, and the unfortunate reality is that we don't have the time or resources to dedicate to making these sorts of changes happen."
They have had years to do this, and it feels like they didn't even go past the first page. They just said "screw those users, lets just keep the guys that come here and give us all the hits we get on the website and forget about the rest." You know this is the same mistake Microsoft did with their X1. You don't go and alienate the hardcore user, when they are the faithful few. When the few of us have high post counts and keep the forums clean with good discussions and even make you guys money. This is an outrage and i am considering taking everyone in every union i know and just leave this place. Because your are spitting in our faces.
I hope people will protest this, because many other users, including myself, have managed to create communities. Union users have been pleading the freaking sites for years to change the unions and improve them. Yet they don't listen. Last year they PROMISED change would come to unions and we would recieve the update we deserved... Now they are getting rid of them entirely... This is bs... Screw those guys
@jknifeza If EA had not bought the license and had an exclusive deal, they would have struggled a lot more. It showed in the middle of the 2000's that PES was superior
@Amdisity @matastig Guys like us have been here for a long time and we have supported this site with all the crap it's gotten like the Gerstman incident. WE stuck around and kept it active. We have kept unios active for the last 10 years and made gamespot what it is. They are completely ignoring us!
