A good point was raised: How is it that someone as overtly biased and uninformed as Shams got to be a moderator?

Biased? No - just realistic. I give credit where its due, and won't hesitate to bag a company out when they deserve it (including Ninty). Sony aren't exactly flying now.

Uninformed?? I'll ignore that one.... for now.

...

I have mentioned this many, many times in the past - and will do so one more time...

I never asked to be a mod. The only reason I am a mod, is so that I can post news items. I'll rarely ban someone, and will always try to err on the side of caution (re: banning).

So don't expect me to temper my views or opinions just because my name appears in red. This is the friggin Internet for heavens sake - if you can't post opinions here, there isn't much point to be using it.

...

BTW - I have been coding games for 22 years, have worked at 4(5?) game studios, have been producer/lead coder/lead designer on various published titles (including console/handheld/PC titles) - and have even opened/run/closed a studio of my own.

What have you done?

 

 

 


 Amen.  I have heard the shams bias thrown around a couple times lately and I find it completely unfounded. You provide news with insight. Certainly not biased and always well informed.  And seeing your credentials it is easy to understand why.

As always, props to the mods for their hard work.
