Oh, yeah. You might think hat mostly because of SW. But it's not really limited to this forum. I think games journalism has really fucked up the whole experience for people. It's like reviews dictate quality these days.

It's becoming harder and harder to make a game that sells. Because if it is even remotely bad, or has ideas that critics don't approve of, it will be dismissed by the public that follows said critics. It's so stupid.

I've said this before, but I think the industry needs a good ol' crash.

I've felt this way for a while too. It's good to be critical of games, offer up criticisms because knowing what works and what doesn't will help better games in the future. But everything I see of this industry that's behind the veil of the E3s and the GameCons seems so ugly and it's disappointing.

If it wasn't for the games, I definitely wouldn't be in this industry that's for damn sure. :P

So I've been karma banned 4 times in under 2 weeks. 3 of which were in the last 5 days. With 2 of them being like 15 hours apart.

I guess my post quality has really gone down hill. I'll try and do better

I hate the way this new system works. Basically people can flag you just because they don't like your post.

Been working for me. Sometimes when they change the code or something they come back. Nothing a right click didn't solve.

You also get a Karma point. Every post you flag also lands you in it as well.

Nope. I don't see the point most of the time. If I think of something that I can actually contribute to SW I post it. Otherwise 95% of SW is just fanboys rambling on about things we've already discussed a hundred times. I don't see a need to add to that so I don't post redundant topics.

Everyone on the E3s and GameCons seem so excited having a good time playing games, but in the Internet, is all about being pretentious and bitter as hell.
