If even such a good-tempered softie as Pax began to show slight annoyance in his posts, then the situation is really heating upIf you go back now to the time Fortuna ღ was talking about, you would miss Many posts and some reviews - as moderators came in and nuked part of the thread, removed some posts/user comments/reviews selectively and outright banned some of the users who were Trolls trying to hide behind the anonymity of F95.
What you see that remains did not catch the moderator's attention, at least enough to purge it.
This is one of the reasons that you will see comments from people who have been here and active on this thread for years as We remember just how bad it was and how much negativity there was, Much of it from people who come here and take SG for free.
FYI - it was bad enough that Ocean deleted his F95 user id - which some like me appreciated (I value his time spent elsewhere Far more than trying to respond to 'certain takers') -- haters are just going to hate - nothing will change their minds and they don't care if they ruin something for others...
Genuine discussion is Always good but ... there are some who absolutely feel that F95 is the place where hate is Just fine - after all, no one Knows who they are...
No meaningful consequences can breed a Nasty sense of entitlement for those so inclined.
Cheers!!
Nothing new tho, but the closer the release gets, the more nervous breakdowns happen in the thread.
By the way, last year, during the release of WiAB, the same thing happened in WiAB thread, the howling began from the moment Ocean announced the date a week before the release. My notifications were triggered every hour: another new account landed into the thread and wrote the typical "There will be no release this year, is this game abandoned, see you in two years, I’ll die before..." Well, you all know their template post.
On the day of release, the howl turned into an ultrasonic squeal. Starting from why the update was not released at 0:01 AM GMT, along the way calling out the "fanatics" and "Ocean's dick riders" who dared to dissonate with the squealers, and ending with the bets on how many months Ocean will delay the release, about an hour before it happened.
Then the moderator came and wiped the fuck out the whole thing. And for everyone who wanted to continue whining and bitching, he created a separate dedicated thread.
If anyone doesn't know, here it is: https://f95zone.to/threads/where-it-all-began-off-topic.186269/
As you can see, it's pretty deserted there. Who wants to bitching in the specially dedicated place? You won't attract much attention there, right?
