How do the mods know what gamnes I have played?

I don't think anyone minds the Pro Nintendo stance because most people can appreciate them for what they do, even non-Nintendo players. I think what gets annoying and frustrating to people like me (heavy reader/light contributor) is the negativity towards Microsoft, Sony, mobile gaming, specific games like Assassin's Creed, etc. Even a forum thread like "Crytek in trouble" is a thinly veiled shot at Microsoft (although that will be argued and defended). It can be argued "I'm just posting a news article about a studio in trouble" but I think it is fair to say most people can see comments like that for what it really is, a news article about a studio that made a Microsoft exclusive is in trouble".

If Nintendo was having the troubles Crytek was having, it would be all over gaming.

With Crytek- it is barely covered - it has to come out as rumor and back hand sources.

Who is biased here? The game media[/QUOTE]
It was the main story on IGN's podcast Unlocked. They specifically stated they verified it with more than 10 sources. They talked about ot for like 15 minutes straight on a one hour podcast. They put it on their front page. They put an update on their again the other day.

In what way is verifying ten seperate sources, publishing that information, discussing it on their daily news, giving it 15 minutes of a one hour podcast slot, then running updates on the front page of their site having to find out about it through back-hand sources.

IGN, the site you very clearly think most biased, specifically went and did the thing you say they never do (dug into sources when the story was hard to get), to do the thing you say is never done (publish negative information about a big publisher), and in the end it's just more proof to you that they don't ever do the exact things they clearly did.

You like to say you go for the "facts." Well the "fact" here is that the information was hard to come by and the "biased games media" went and got it and then put it out.

Dogtanian- He's not getting a "raw deal" in the least, if you had been a member of this forum as long as most of us have, then you would have a much better understanding of exactly why people are wary of Sega/Steer. He has caused MANY problems on this forum in the past to the point of even getting banned at one time(that was before everyone had accounts, and he kept trying to circumvent the ban by using different IP addresses, in fact he's one of the main reason why we have accounts in the first place) and he's derailed more discussions and caused more threads to get locked down then any other user on this board that I can think of.  It seems like 95% of the time all he does is demean and look down upon everyone who does not blindly agree with every single thing he says, no matter nonsensical or ridiculous it is. It's been going on for years and many people are sick and tired of it to the point of actively avoiding posting on the forum just so they don't have to deal with all that nonsense.

Most of his "theories"(if you can even call them that, which I do not) are not "sound" in the least, they're more often then not pointless conjecture that's little more then a thinly veiled insult towards anyone who's not pro-Nintendo.

He absolutely does respond with vitriol, several times he's had the gall to hurl thinly veiled insults at mods who are merely doing their jobs. He's no "scapegoat", he's only inviting criticism by attacking those who dare to question the validity of what he's saying.

Vexer, I'll try to respond to your post with a little more respect than I believe you have afforded me. You don't know how long I have been reading the board, and I can tell you that it is considerably longer than my membership would suggest. Even if this were not the case, the point still stands that responding to Segatarious's posts with aggression or ridicule does not work in silencing him. Why not try a different approach? The mods can prevent him posting, but they would rather not have to. If we could show a little more empathy towards each other then there might be no need for censorship.

For future reference, I would have to say that repeatedly using quotations as you did comes across as passive-aggressive.

Everyone's had their say.

Locking the thread before this gets out of hand.
