| Shadow1980 said: Thanks, OP. And yes, we may need you to make an archive thread for these posts like that at at Era. Speaking of which, I went looking for the latest Famitsu sales thread at Era only to see that something went down and apparently Chris1964 is gone after many years of running those threads. I don't keep up with internet drama all that much, so I had no clue. I'm just interested in sales data. |
For the sake of people missing context.
Chris is a long time poster of Media Create sales threads, first on NeoGAF and then on ResetEra.
The latest media create sales thread unfortunately became toxic as more and more people with a particular loyalty to a certain brand didn't like how Switch basically dominated the weekly sales. Comments like "Japan doesn't matter" and misinterpretation of translations went on for a while which made Chris more and more agitated. A pretty heated discussion ensued between Chris and some of these trolls. it wasn't until a few days in that a mod stepped in locked the thread and basically started banning people, most notably Chris. People in the thread didn't like this and after the lock was lifted people started complaining about the ban. More bans ensued. It wasn't until one user started to share Discord screencaps that exposed how targeted Chris was by this particular mod and some other mods. It pretty much showed an orchestrated manner in which they outright baited Chris.
So basically what followed is that Chris left the site, so the MC thread on Era is basically dead at this point.
Not only that, bunch of others decided to leave as well.
PAL thread OP: gone.
NPD thread OP: gone.
Nintendo sales archive OP: gone.
I know this is off topic but it needs to be made clear.
