I was talking about the networks in general, not simply this site alone. But the fact remains, Sony and Microsoft have their systems setup to where you really don't need to go crazy making threads like what you're referring to. As Nintendo starts to get serious about online, threads like the ones you mention will start to fade away. Mario Kart having community functions alone doesn't say much because it's a self-contained game. Which means, it only ties to people for THAT game alone. So it makes sense to make threads for get togethers on mario kart because Nintendo's ecosystem isn't fully tied together just yet. Right now, their against two competitors that have had full ecosystems where thread meet ups were made almost obsolete Look at Dr Henry Killinger's post. He pretty much refers exactly to what I'm saying |
Then why do games like CoD, Minecraft and LoL still have many forums and threads aimed at organizing games. Or loads of mmorpgs? You guys are simply making stuff up. We're talking about community forums here, they'll never disappear. I'm not talking about networks: I'm talking about games. The lack of a tight community comes (imo) from their focus on cinematic singleplayer games. That's not an insult to them as any company should make the games they want to make. But it's easier to form a community over multiplayer games.
