So they sold out for the simpletons...
Not that I have anything against realistic shooters, but if Naughty Dog had to change the game to be more realistic and violent just so it could sell more, then it makes gamers this generation look like shallow morons.
I'm not complaining though, it ended up an excellent game.

I don't think he's calling Xbox owners simpletons. He's calling the general public, or shooter fans, simpletons. That's not necessarilly an insult toward Xbox owners. The mass public is less educated than the hardcore & more likely to follow the 'what's hot' trend as opposed to thinking for themselves.
If fact, if you read a few lines down, then you can see that Not only is this directed at the general public (Not Xbox owners), it's also directed at Uncharted fans that bought it because it had shooting. Hell, he even says gamers of the GENERATION are shallow. One can look at sales this gen and see that this statement holds merit. Any popular game is going to have a large portion of the fanbase composed simpletons. I really don't see the problem in this post.
Definitely isn't directed at Xbox owners. Not worth a 3 day ban IMO. Pretty questionable ban Twesterm. |
He was banned for that? |
Yup, check his profile. |
Completely underserved... People have said much more explicit things, much worse than that. We don't even know who he was referring to, XBox fans or the general XBox public. The Xbox doesn't only have shooters you know?!
|
Agreed, we should do something about it. |
I'm reporting the post and contesting the ban. Don't mean to sound grating, but really why biased moderating?

If you have a problem with someone's ban, do exactly what you did-- let a head moderater know or report the post. No need to derail a thread about it. If you think people have said worse things, please report them too!
Personally, it's an insulting post. There's a special word for someone who thinks everything they like is better than someone elses and that kind of attitude doesn't need to be here. So what if someone enjoys only shooters, only Call of Duty, or loves to buy Madden every year. That doesn't make your taste in gaming better than theirs. They know what they like and that's what matters, not that you think you're better than them and they're only simpletons.
If either of you or anyone else has anything else to say on the matter, please message me and the head mods and we can talk about it through messages, but please lets not derail the thread any more.
Also, you only need to report it once.
