I remember when the mods said that the Steam thread didn't deserve protection from random members entering to stir up console-war shit because "steam isn't a console".

I don't follow Steam or 'console warring' or even gaming side in general, but even I could tell how fucking short-sighted they were being.

Wasn't it actually sweetnicole making this decree and then enforcing it while swidge giggled and danced in the tears of the posters

banning dude who posted half-life gif or that big brother game is appropriate because those are "clear" shots at the mods. but getting upset at the "very smart" bronson lee posting this gif



is reading too much into things. :thinking

If you arent happy with how you're treated on purple gaf, pm each other pick a spot, go somewhere else or make something else. Nothing but your own lack of action is keeping you there friends.

Pretty much, yea.

Course, if they ban this dude for this post... :whoo

I don't know if it's reasonable to expect us to just watch 90% of the more active posters in this thread get banned and pretend as if nothing happened. The PC community here on Era has been methodically and systematically dismantled. Shouldn't we, as a community, have an official answer as to why this happened?

JaseC also has (had?) near encyclopedic knowledge on the inner workings on Steam, and also made a fucking ton of actually-useful-as-in-attracts-non-mental--visitors-to-their-mean-spirited-little-forum posts for new releases PC performance threads / min specs / easy tweaks.

Scanning steam repo changes got some scoops on things that were coming to PC but not officially announced too

nothing says "i deserve respect as a mod" like banning everyone in a temper tantrum when someone disagrees with you.

i'd say that's the second best way of saying it other than deleting pages of post and shutting down a thread three or more times in a day when people don't post how you want. :doge

I'd urge you to consider the idea that you are not making people feel welcome, heard or respected everywhere else on this forum as part of the problem, which is the root cause for any "inexcusable" behavior and metacommentary you witness in this thread.

Also, consider that banning or driving off some of the most valuable members of the community might be a result of forum policy, and not exactly a good sign.

Go ahead and ban Durante too, you dipshits  :lol :lol :lol

Someone took a cheap shot at JaseC about era's 'villifying journalism' blanket policy
JaseC went "ehhhhhh, you know what... fuck this, I'm out".
Bunch of not-legally-allowed-to-call-themselves-steam-era poured one out for respected former moderator JaseC
not-respected current moderator jawmuncher threw a tantrum
people said "maybe if the mods didn't act like bitches we wouldn't clown on them"
Admins came in and started banning 'metacommentary' posts
BronsonLee is now peacing out too

Great gesture on Ubisoft's part, even if the total sum needed is way beyond that, it's good PR and a demonstration that they care about the historical stuff they use.

I wanna say that this mod attempt at recontextualizing pisses me off

https://www.resetera.com/threads/sony-cracks-down-on-sexually-explicit-content-in-games-article-states-that-it-refers-to-underage-characters-check-threadmarks.111820/

Oh gee this sounds a little bad on sony's part, maybe they're going too far

But wait the title has been edited

Quote
Sony Cracks Down on Sexually Explicit Content in Games (Article States That It Refers to Underage Characters: Check Threadmarks)



Oh it's fine, nothing to see here

Well lemme check that threadmark

Quote
Here OP. I will hook you up with some choice quotes from the article:

Quote
Sony officials said executives at the company have grown concerned that its global reputation could take a hit from sexually explicit content sold only in a few markets. One of their biggest concerns is software sold in the company’s home market of Japan, which traditionally has had more tolerance for near-nudity and images of young women who might appear underage.
Quote
Two factors last year combined to turn that unease into action, these Sony officials say. One was the rise of the #MeToo movement in the U.S., which pointed to the dangers of being associated with content that some might see as demeaning to women. The second was the emergence of channels on sites like YouTube and Amazon Inc.’s Twitch where gamers play in front of a camera and are watched by fans online. That means games meeting Japan’s laxer standards can get world-wide exposure.
Quote
In general, any company making a game for a platform like the PlayStation 4, Microsoft Corp.’s Xbox or Nintendo Co.’s Switch signs a contract with the platform maker governing royalties and other items. That gives the platform maker the ability to block games it doesn’t like.

Nintendo said it doesn't regulate sexual content beyond requiring game makers to obtain a rating from national bodies. It said its game systems allow parents to restrict content based on the rating. Microsoft declined to comment.
Quote
“You don’t know what they will say until you complete the work and submit it for review,” said the chief executive of a small game developer in Japan. “And if they are not happy, even if they allowed the same degree of sexuality a few days before, we need to take it back and ask our staff to make adjustments. That’s very costly.”
On another note:

Quote
The PlayStation 4 is the world’s most widely used videogame console, with more than 94 million units sold around the globe. About $11 billion in PlayStation 4 game software was sold in 2018, according to Sony
There is a lot more, but I figured this would highlight a good portion of it.

Apologist mod plucks out one single word from the article, from a sentence that isn't necessarily implied to be part of a statement by sony

Uses this one word to globally imply that the censorship measures in place are all for the sake of protecting the underage

Even though this fuckery has been going on for a couple years now with many examples across a wide spectrum

And the fact that 90% of games from Japan with underage characters are changed to be 18 in text, which would by definition no longer require any content changes to protect them

All this time we expected it would come from elsewhere but Steam GAF are the ones actually opening their own board and not letting go of the dreaded metacommentary.

The moderating is so bad in that thread. It actually would be better to just play internet tyrants and ban everyone without the litany of "mod communications" and "staff posts". Probably would still be a shitshow but it saves you some time. Instead they're giving the impression to both be repressive and instigating that shit.

BronsonLee trolling or announcing his departure in the most tone deaf way possible in that PC gaming thread is fitting to a T.

I honestly can't tell if BronsonLee is being serious. He's so obnoxious, like a dumb person trying to act witty, it's just such hard cringe. For the purposes of this post I'm going to assume he's being serious.

I'm sad to see people like SweetNicole and BronsonLee leave, without them and VIPs like Red Mercury and Incel Spreadsheets, ResetEra might be an unfunny forum for video games. There would be no hilarious forum commentary, no hypocritical bans messages, no unhinged political commentary. I want to see ResetEra at it's most extreme, unhinged and hilarious.

It's kind of bizarre to see people who are genuinely interested in video game discussion actually participate on ResetEra. They should have realized early on that the memes about ResetEra being about "transparent moderation", and not allowing cults of personality to drive the site were blatant lies. There are many alternatives on the internet where video game discussion is encouraged. Where smaller communities can exist without outsider mods stepping on harmless users for leaving their designated corners, or posting a meme that might just a little too dank.

It's unsurprising to see how little farewell there is for BronsonLee, he'll only get asspats from sycophants and fellow useful idiots.
