Wow, unlucky Gribble. Hope they let you back on soon though.

It's at times like this I worry for humanity, I seriously do. I know I risked it but I explained over and over again that I'm talking about PEOPLE and not the site. I still never got a clear reason why I was juniored either.


Yup, that ban wasn't really deserved but GAF really, really hates VGC. I don't mention it at all, not even as "that banned site". Too risky.  Heck, I've been banned for less.

Unbelievable:

You have been banned for the following reason:
Advertising for a banned site. Will update to perm if this account was not juniored for previous behaviour.

Date the ban will be lifted: 08-22-2014, 11:00 PM

For talking about the folks on this forum. What a joke.

A freaking month??? For that comment? Geez. Have you been banned before?

Yep, but I never found out why.

Well that's rather harsh. 

But then again, sounds like it happens all the time there.

But 400k X1s, they really weren't kidding about letting retailers sell existing stock...


It wasn't said in the call.

Yes, they seem to have a policy of 100% hate for some sites and everyone on them. I find it frigin' childish. All I was pointing out is that many people on this site are savvy.

In all honesty there's a good chance the mod never even read the post to see what you were referring to; just saw "VGC" and bam ban. Wouldn't surprise me, sadly.

But yeah, now isn't the time to talk about it too much please! Regardless of what happens on other sites they're other sites and we shouldn't derail the thread further. We still love ya on little ol' VGC anyway and that should be enough

Well, the X1 had a good start and was heavily overshipped afterwards if the vgc numbers aren't completely inaccurate. So, no surprise.

They sold 115,000 units in April, 75,000 in May and 197,000 in June in the USA. Taking out the UK, the Xbox brand has little importance in Europe. It is not surprising that Microsoft cuts off 75% of the employees in the European Xbox gaming division. I believe Microsoft will concentrate more on the U.S. market from now on.
