You missed it. They banned me permanently before my ban date was lifted (probably due to me on here).

They also banned my IP. I was able to get someone from d-pad to send my message to them. It was quickly locked and they removed the entire thread within minutes.
The thread was about what? I don't remember or missed it :D

Just to you guys know Bloomberg things the supply issues won't end so soon...

Supply chain snarls will likely continue to trouble electronics makers this year as the re-emergence of Covid infections and Russia's invasion of Ukraine affect shipping, production capacity and the cost of materials. South Korean giant Samsung Electronics Co. said a day earlier that it's adjusting its forecast on an almost daily basis because of the high degree of geopolitical volatility and economic uncertainty. Component makers, logistics specialists and manufacturing machinery providers have expressed skepticism that the supply chain can return to normal operation this year.

this is gonna be the lost generation of gaming at this rate, even nintendo is being hit and possibly delaying their next iteration because of this. So they are just gonna continue with their 7th gen (spec wise) hardware, and sony and microsoft are gonna be crawling the rest of the gen with bad hardware supply which likely means either no slim or pro models.

its probably gonna have a very damaging effect on the next generation also. like both platforms rushing to cloud/streaming faster.

Do you think this place is a echo chamber? Explain if it not bother you too much.

Well I've been here what 2 days approximately and it's just all the banned people from the other site. Which is predominantly hardcore Playstation fans. So yes, Echo Chamber.

There are PC people here too and Xbox/Nintendo. The more the merrier. If you feel there is an issue with the thread derailing and people being unfair or bad faith arguments PM a mod or use report function.

This place is for everyone, you can't blame people if a certain brand which is the WW larger brand is represented a little more. Playstation has been around longer than XBox, and Nintendo though broad in its appeal/reach in terms of hardcore people talking about it is not as large.
It's usually specific titles people talk about when it comes to Nintendo.
But I totally understand the issue you are bringing up, and its one we are working on to be fair to everyone.

My 2 cents would be like I've been saying bring Receipts.


EDIT:

And one more thing,


Only people who ever have so far got banned were people flinging racial/hurtful shit towards posters. Or people who signed up just to make so threads about hateful shit.

No one will get banned for having an opinion or being a fan of something.
Thats the big difference between this place and Gaf. That place wants a certain etiquette in how people form their words/posts. We are more open to the idea of expressing your opinion any way you want as long as you are not flinging shit at people.

If people start acting like kids and bickering we talk to them and the thread posters. To let them know to stay on topic and take the bickering to Console war thread where you can bicker all you want.

Bryan why do you think Sony bought Nixxess ? They're turning into a PC adjacent publisher now.

I don't want to copy stuff from other forums, but once again the reason is publicly visible to anyone whose interested and it comes with a [+Multiple] tag meaning you were not banned for that one post. 🤷‍♂️

Anyway.

The issue is more with the specific post that seemingly triggered him getting banned. It's more or less just a regular post, shouldn't of warranted an infraction. But it got one anyway.

Quite a few places have moderation like that where if you've been found guilty of infractions in the past they give you no wiggle room for things other posters can pretty much get away with freely.

Is this the place where people go when they get banned? It's a who's who of banned members here. Really quite incredible. With that said, let your hate out my friend. Crush those XBots and their evil plastic boxes!! 😂

Lol I'm not banned on GAF yet and others here aren't either like @Swift_Star and @Heisenberg007 . Though maybe it's just a matter of time.

I don't really post anything to rile stuff up on GAF tho, so I should be fine.

Sony didn't have a critical title... I mean a massive appeal title to know if the PC strategy needs to be changed or not.
I guess they where just preparing with what they did until now and they real test are Spider-Man and TLOU Part1.

The first is the massive name they needs on PC... Spider-man sell by itself and the game is so good.
And the TLOU TV Show plus TLOU Part 1 on PC will be the second big test.

If these two fail then they will probably made big changes in the PC strategy.

But the chances to fail like GoW or Horizon are way lower imo... and you see that in their financial projections... they are relying on Spiden-Man and TLOU Part 1 in the FY2022 to almost quadruple the revenue with PC ports.

Agreed, TLOU Part 1 Remake and Spiderman are definitely the big tests. Kind of interesting Spiderman 2018 and Miles Morales are being released separately but 2018's trending very well on Steam. That's a good sign.

I don't know how I feel particularly on the PC strategy yet and since I don't do any (modern) gaming on PC the releases coming there don't mean much to me personally. However I understand their implications in PlayStation's bottom line and how they want bigger revenue there, I just hope if there has to be a shift in some of those plans they have some really good alternative approaches that way budgets for the big marquee games aren't negatively impacted.

PC got nothing to do with this, if people we not buying the PS5 then maybe you could blame that on PC, but people buying PlayStation games on PC at this moment only helps their numbers.

God of War Ragnarok is going to be a good test, assuming it is as good as the 2018 game will it sell just as well or will many people wait for it to show up on PS+?

Good question; I'm still not done with HFW yet and by the time I am they might have it in PS+ xD, but I still plan on getting Ragnarok at launch because who's to say when it actually comes to PS+, that could be 2, even 3 years from release or more.

Maybe some small group are waiting for PS+ inclusion of the game but they're also taking a gamble, and it would probably be the PS4 version anyway.

That is what you call Echo Chamber? I thought it was something like people have or forced to have the same blind opinion.
You can think about ERA (always) or the new GAF moderation.

Here you can have any weird opinion you believe is true.
We will agree or disagree... discuss it... you can be happy or sad about that but we won't ban you for that having a different opinion even if controversial or heavy biased.

So I don't think here is an Each Chamber... if some PC and Xbox guys making jokes and troll jabs int he threads should be not be here anymore.
Even CraigOfWar was here trying to make fun of everybody and he left because we choose to accept him like he is... and he found that boring :D

Funny because if he was true then you for example should not be here for so long, no?

Echo Chamber
"an environment in which a person encounters only beliefs or opinions that coincide with their own, so that their existing views are reinforced and alternative ideas are not considered."

So far this is the definition of an echo chamber.

There is a Tech/Analysis section, multiple Xbox/Nintendo/PC threads. Just right now there isn't alot of news outside of recent financials from XBox/Playstation and soon Nintendo.

Go look at the gaming section front page here and compare to gaf. We have similar stuff going on. It;s also going to take time as we go on. Thank god for people like @Bernd Lauert , @John Elden Ring , @VFX_Veteran among many others creating threads with variation. Also

This place is like a month old, so give us some time to build more content. Compared to what this looked like in June in terms of threads its night and day different.

Just need more stuff to talk about news wise from Microsoft and Nintendo among other people like Valve, Meta, ect.

That is exactly what I posted.
A place where people have the same or are forced to have the same opinion.

You don't need to have the same opinion or are forced to have it here.

I mean do you see the thread it was created here?

I think you might be misunderstanding the definition. Says nothing about anyone being FORCED to have a certain opinion. I know there there is a language barrier so it's not a big deal but we are not saying the same thing.

I understand what are you saying... you feel unconformable in a room with only PS fans.
It just I have no issue with that... I can be in room with only Xbox fans and be happy chatting.

That is my point.
You can have your opinion and you are not forced to have a different opinion even in a room only with PS fans.

What we are saying is if you don't see things that are being represented, then make the thread or let someone know about that wants to. I am going to be putting up a Sega Fan thread this weekend when I get more time.

@Darth Vader ,@TubzGaming if someone can add to the options for tags one for Sega and make it like a light blue that would be Awesome!

That is really reaching from what Sony said but anyway :D

Edit - Just to put context... Sony said that the 15% drop in gameplay time was higher than the 10% they predicted post-COVIC and that they will take actions to generate more engagement in the next six month with first-party releases, increase in hardware supply, PS++/PS+++, etc.

I don't feel uncomfortable, or I wouldn't have signed up in the beginning. I'm a fan of all the consoles/PC. I don't have to choose one over the other. Apparently you can't be happy chatting in a room full of Xbox fans or you wouldn't have been banned.

And I was banned for what reason?
I always talked with Xbox fans without any issue with each other.

Ban doesn't always means what you thing it is... the things are not that fair... people are biased, mods are biased, communities are biased, etc.

At least we don't try to harm you because you are biased.
That is the point.

It's a clean slate here.... that other place had dubious standards. People seemed to be banned on a whim...goes for both sides.

We love different opinions here and if we can get more Xbox, Nintendo and PC guys in here, we will.
