Look, i don't wanna start any drama here, but i honestly gotta say these bans are a joke, especially their length.
Those were some really benign comments and i'm fairly certain they would have never been banned even half an hour for those if would've been towards any non-staff member.
I don't wanna start an argument or wanna hear a reply, i just wanna bring in my 2 cents and say the staff should reconsider those.
Yeah it sure would be weird if someone kept saying really weird shit about Epic and Tencent RE: the Chinese government huh
They can't buy those 3% because as far as i know Tim holds 51%.
I always begin my lengthy and serious replies with shitty memes as well. Great mind think alike, I guess.
If true it depends on who owns the remaining 52%. If it's Tim Sweeny I doubt he could be forced to sell more shares.
It didn't do this though. You don't get to whine about shutting down discussion when you're putting forward a bad foot yourself. Saying a reason some people are shitting their pants is because of Yellow Scare stuff does not equal saying everyone is.

What other places are the to go to discuss PC gaming that have strong and clever communities? Reddit is too toxic for me, Metacouncil is tumbleweeds, RPS and Eurogamer feel like they ate dropping the ball on customers right now.. even on era this thread feels like the only sane place. It's all a bit disappointing.
Might be worth sinking into my backlog and waiting for all this to blow over.

Yeah, if you are going to write up a long serious post, don't open it with a shitty meme. That's never going to go well.
20 hours in DS II, still not feeling it at all. I guess I'll have to slog through it in order to finally start DS III.
Because I want to play them in order. Besides, exploring the lore is still enjoyable at least
DS II is the only Souls game I have finished more than once but I like them all.
I don't adore them like a lot of people do but they are fun games.

As a member of this community I would like to ask that the moderators and administrators consider the circumstances that have caused some members to be on edge. Ever since this whole situation with Epic began I feel like we are constantly under fire. Every Epic thread, especially at first before the moderation team (to its full credit) began taking action to stop trolls from constantly spouting the same 'just asking questions' crap, was unbelievably stressful for a lot of us. I am quite certain that it is no picnic for you either, but it's not the same. It's really fucking hard to try to remain calm and collected when what feels like three quarters of the forum's membership that doesn't care at all about the issue decides to enter these threads, drop a piece of uninformed garbage and let us and you sort out the mess. It might be tough for you but it's even tougher for us because we have the sword of Damocles hanging over our heads if we break down from all the nonsense and lose our temper.
We are a core PC community with a customer-oriented focus on a console-focused forum full of platform warriors and industry people who are all indifferent at best and openly hostile at worst to the things we strongly believe in. If you value the diversity and different perspective that we can offer, you need to take steps to protect us. Until recently your moderation policies were not balanced and PC threads were basically open hunting season for anyone that wanted to troll without consequences. And please reconsider the length of those bans. Given the circumstances, the punishment does not fit the crime.
While I am not a big fan of DS2's base game, The Lost Crowns DLCs for it has the best content out of all Soulsborne games for me.
Just drop it, what you've seen so far is what you'll get from everything but the DLC areas. DS2 is a giant slog that is only made bearable by its sheer amount of content.
Ok so I just tried BFV on my new RTX card after playing it on X1X.
The good = it looks fantastic & runs great
The bad = I have to use a gamepad on pc
This is not ideal lol.

Instead of the obvious avatar quote I shame myself by throwing my guilty pleasure in. D:
Gamebillet it seems
I got it during the Lunar Sale for that sweet 5$ discount (plus had some free money)
same <3
my order right now is probably dks1 > demons > dks2 > sekiro > bloodborne > dks3
While I don't necessarily agree with that (I'm more of the thinking that it's a matter of quality over quantity at MetaCouncil - the signal to noise ratio is far better than here), Era is still the place to be if it's quantity that you seek... just need to be very selective and discerning as to what you bother reading (and more so, replying to). The tone and accepted 'standard' in regard to PC gaming was set long ago here, and allowed to fester...so aside from this thread, perhaps, it's a cesspit of PC ignorance and misinformation.
Well, congratulations on DSOG for failing Basic Research 101.
Thank goodness, that Dark Souls 2 is the best one thread the other day had 3/4ths of the replies acting like it was shovelware.
And lol what a load of wank at the incredible response that was sure to follow that image.

Well, PC already runs BotW better than Switch, so might as well do it.
Damn, I was so close to killing
Time to try again for what seems to be the millionth time.
the Guardian Ape. I just needed 2 more hits but I timed a parry poorly and he slashed me.
I took forever to beat that one too. For me, the key was figuring out how to reliably avoid the grab attacks. I don't know why I had so much trouble with it.Damn, I was so close to killing

Well yeah, there was no crime.
This is my husbando Astolfo
Look...I'm just going to say this as an objective viewer. You all yourself realise how the timing could have led people to think of that cause and effect and acknowledge it was a faux pas from the staff. So it should come as no surprise that people would jump to a conclusion. But that is not even remotely worthy of a ban, let alone the absurd length, when the staff themselves recognise the faux pas and the cause and effect from it.
Additionally, if the admin wanted to have that serious discussion then perhaps they should've have included that in their very post rather than just post a response with a meme and expect to add a serious response later. One cannot expect to start a serious conversation and not actually have that serious information in their opening post. A forum is a very fluid place with fast moving discussions, especially something that's as hot as that particular topic. It should come as no surprise that without the inclusion of that serious response the post would be taken at a face value....multiple times before the admin even has had a chance to make that serious comment. It's because no one other than the person preparing that response is aware of the followup, so naturally others would judge the already posted and available rely on the basis of what it contains i.e. the meme.
And I don't mean to offend anyone but that in itself is an example of jumping to conclusion and under any other circumstances that post without that aforementioned serious response would be considered to be drive by posting, but since you have the context....you realise it's not even if it appeared so initially. What I'm saying is that the context matters as well as the circumstances. If they don't then why do we even try to be a liberal forum?

At least we won't have some random incursion from rabid Nintendo fans looking to pick a fight then vanished almost immediately. :-P
But seriously, MC might move slowly, but you can hardly find a more welcoming PC community elsewhere apart from this very thread. Don't mistake it for an echo chamber either, because we can still have different opinions without any corporate bootlicking involved. You can make a console-related thread or discussing emulation without it devolving into piracy discussion. You can hardly do the same thing in this forum.
These are my thoughts as well. I'd like to thank the mods for their excellent work in the EGS related topics. And I also want to ask to reconsider the length of these bans.
