I actually reported that post and nothing happened. I have no idea why there are such obvious double standards between console and PC threads.

I also reported it.
Thread derail in a thread with a sensitive topic. You would think that would be reason enough. but wait, it is a Valve thread, so nevermind.

All I wanted was Resonance of Fate on Steam, but 40$ CDN is waaaaaay overpriced. Great game, and I highly recommended everybody play it at least at a discount price later on.

I reported it too. A whole bunch of us did I think.

So we know it's not an issue of mods not being made aware of it, which is the usual response they give.
Honestly, I feel this isn't a question that moderation can solve anyway. There's no rule against stupidity. Just put that user on your ignore list. -
That's the only solution that scales anyway. Reporting half a persons posts is more work and will have less of an effect in producing effective conservation. If enough people ignore-list them, the problem solves itself anyway.

The taking down of the Giftbot is another shot at suppressing Pc gaming era!

It is thread derail in a sensitive topic. Making this matter about steam curation and how shitty steam is, is derailing the thread.

I agree with you. But sadly, there's a limit of 1000 users that you can block on Resetera, and I already reached it long ago.

I just had to go to the "EtcetEra" section a couple of times, and read crap like "white people were a mistake", "that's so white people", and similar crap, and I reached the limit quite quickly. :D

I mean, there's a lot that's annoying with the way era organizes PC and Steam (or lack of steam rip).

There's also a lot lacking when it comes to moderation here, but I also don't think mods should be trigger-happy - that was one of my biggest issues with neogaf. You could get suspended/banned there for completely bs reasons, but because the mods were basically kings there, unless you had 'contacts' you were basically screwed. Mods here try to tip-toe the fine line between being overbearing and irrelevant, and I feel like that's tough to do.

The gun show continues.


I've made a huge mistake when I bought both SotTR and AC: Odyssey.

Too many waifus, too little time. I probably won't finish any more games before the end of the year, I somehow managed to complete 70 games this year.

Folks y'all need to loosen up. If all it took were bad opinions to have a thread closed then Era would cease having threads to post in.

I... don't think anyone has asked for threads being closed.

I don't feel it is too much to ask for the stricter rules on thread derailing and console warring to also apply to PC discussions.

So, what do I need to do to get The Legacy Pack for Xcom2? Says on Steam it's on my library already, but I guess that's not enough.

If everyone is referring to the individual who stated that they wish Steam never became a thing; then I'm really not sure why people are upset about this. The user was permanently banned prior to the reports for another reason. As such, when the reports came in, the issue was already resolved because the user was removed from the community. This really isn't a case of double standards.

You win this time Firaxis. I forgot that the way they packaged WotC was that they basically just cloned the vanilla xcom 2 and build it on top of that so that you could play them both from the same launcher. Only downside is that that also doubles the size of the install. I wish you could install WotC without the vanilla at all, would save about 30gigs of download.

o_O the mentioned user only has an "alt Account" tag and his username isn't striked out.
So I don't know if it is the same as being banned.

Well there it is. RIP Obsidian. You may have been a shell of your past glory for many years now but I'll always remember kotor 2, AP, NWN 2 and new vegas.

That's wild, but I did wonder how long Obsidian was gonna survive on their own. It was either gonna be Paradox, or one the other handful of big publishers that could easily absorb them.
Strange they're going to Microsoft after all the fuckery with Stormlands. Guess beggars can't be choosers.

Great news for Obsidian. Being bought by MS will secure their future while letting them expand to do more.
