It's all just a bit of fun. It was like 3:40AM here when this was going on and it was a long day and a long conference. A lot of the comments were purely spontaneous and weren't done to offend nor to please anyone. It was just the musings of a bunch of people watching a lengthy, occasionally lacklustre conference. Nothing more. Correct you are, however, that the other conferences had similar responses. And no doubt the Nintendo one will be much the same as well. As such you needn't think that we're just "insulting" or "degrading" a part of the site, that is catergorically false. Like I said at the start, it's all just a bit of fun. |
It is common knowledge that parts of the community already have reservations about the mod team. They think they are too hard on some, too soft on others, favor certain companies, etc... However, since mod related talks and stuff usually stay behind closed doors none of that ever really comes to light. This snippet does the team no favors at all.
If you were really going to do this it should have at least seemed to not focus on one group, especially when it is fairly negative throughout, and not just about the conference but where they think this same groups fans will aim their discussions following the conference and even view that negatively. You should have used small snippets from all the conferences to give th community an idea of how you all felt throughout E3 day 1.
Best choice overall though would have been to just post nothing.
iPhone = Great gaming device. Don't agree? Who cares, because you're wrong.
