Microsoft is a trillion dollar company that just bought 2 entire, huge publishers and subsidizes every aspect of their gaming,

It is David vs Goliath and just like the fable, David is kicking Goliaths ass.

Would your rather it was the other way around?

Like in football... there are teams that have all the money, all the most expensive players, the best equipment and stadium... but they can be beaten by a more skillful, passionate and hungry team.

Im aware Microsoft is more fiscally valuable than Sony

However Playstation's marketbase dwarfs Xbox's

Just dont see how either site could be biased with that in mind. Not trying to argue fwiw, just confused

Well, Xbox is not new in gaming... theyve had decades now to win people over. I had several 360's and I liked the OG Xbox.... but it was PlayStation that won me back.

I can only speak from my own experience but I've met countless other people with similar stories to mine both online and in real life.

I'm not saying everyone on Reset is biased, just a few of the important mods seem to be operating in a manner that has changed the tone of the board and undermined conversation of PlayStation.

Most of the Nintendo people actually left Reset and started Famiboards, so they were not happy either.

I just think a forum with a particular niche is sometimes what people need. Forums are kinda made to fill niches really....

The great thing is that Forums don't cost the world to set up and run, so when the need appears, they can be created and develop quite spontaneously.

XboxEra was also made by Era members to escape mod bias

Sony fans have IE, and you say Famiboards is for Nintendo fans

Think people are just more sick of ResetEra in general 😄

Quite possibly, their moderation was highly political and varied depending on who you were. Lots of fickle bans.

It seemed quite oppressive.

Don't allow politics, it just gonna attract bad fruits to the forum.

I ran a small message board with like 50-100 daily users, we talked about sports and games mostly, until some users divert conversation to politics, very annoying honestly.

Also it is just a message boards, so it doesn't have moderating tools. So yea, I just closed it altogether.

Absolute bullshit, it had nothing to do with politics, it was a sex club, I know it, and @Bryank75 especially knows it.

We all know why you're here with you're filthy degenerate ideas.

Its funny because I see Xbox fans on Dpad who seem to think Gaf/Reset are Sony biased
That's because Xbox fans need an absolute safe space. They have InstallBase, XboxEra, Dpad and Era.

Era is bigger so they can't control it 100% so to them it's a Sony site. GAF has way too many Xbox fans, it's completely disproportionate, but once again it's not a 100% echo chamber so it's another Sony site.

They don't get along with PS fans at all and they can't handle any criticism.

Oh, god, what the f hell is this post:


Seriously, it might be one of the most fucked up things I've read in a forum.
This person was deservedly banned, just disgusting all around.

Are you sure this was written about MJ? I don't see any reference about her in the text. They probably copy/paste it from somewhere. No way they typed all that in a thread.
