| A Bad Clown said: Yeah, since the troll barrage these past months any "debates" were banning fields. There's also pretty much nothing coming out any time soon, and the mods have gone on crackdown. There don't seem to be many threads about video game sales recently... |
My guess as to why there aren't as many threads about game sales is because they all turn into the same people making the same argument that has been made in countless other sales threads. Add this to the increase in new trolling accounts, older posters learning how they can troll and flame without our being permit to act on it (and in some cases, actually being told its not a troll/flame, despite our seeing it the same way as the alert on the post), and other behind the scenes rifts, and well... the incentive to have a good conversation is pretty much gone. I tried going into crackdown mode for a bit to improve things, but it caused more of those rifts I mentioned before.
For the subject itself, it's a cyclical industry. Things from this gen are starting to set, and those that aren't are what have degenerated into troll and flame wars. Since there's left good stuff to discuss, it would get less exciting. Once new systems come out, I'd guess that things will pick up again.
