ita Posted August 19, 2011 Share Posted August 19, 2011 Although these days, due to the dearth of demo releases gamers often end up handing over their hard earned money for a product they haven't had a chance to try beforehand. :wallbash: (sorry for the offtopic remark :ohdear: ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maggotspew Posted August 21, 2011 Share Posted August 21, 2011 Gamers are paying customers, when you hand over hard earned money you are "Entitled" to something of value in return. SOME gamers, are paying customers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pineapplerum Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 You go to any forum and you'll see trolls. Trolls are everywhere. Why should online gaming be any different? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Halororor Posted August 29, 2011 Author Share Posted August 29, 2011 Actually, that shouldn't be most, it should be enough. It's still entirely possible to have an industry when the paying customers are in the minority. As far as I know, a lot of games get pirated more than they get bought.

raatorotta Posted September 3, 2011 Share Posted September 3, 2011 Gamers, uh, how they can put so many different people under one word? Let's see myself as example:I only play one online game. All my games are bought from shop and i have huge piles of gameboxes around. I never cheat online, but i cheat on singleplayer games. Only singleplayer. Cheating against other people is against my moral. I respect other people even i don't like to be with people. I'm somewhat lonely gamer, who don't even play online much. What this tells you? All gamers don't play online. Most gamers who play online don't talk so much about themselves. Only the part of gamers troll, cheat and ruin other ways netgaming societies. It's not all. Not even close. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Halororor Posted September 5, 2011 Author Share Posted September 5, 2011 Okay, I'm generally not fond of doing this, but I'm going to request the thread to be locked. Having seen a thread on the same article on another forum, I think it's for the best. Every time just as the thread started dying off, some lurker or forum newbie would happen across it, get angry about it and try to start a heated debate on the topic, which might or might not include telling the OP what an idiot he or the columnist is, then just as it starts dying out and moving to the third or fourth page, it would start all over again. I feel everything that needs to be discussed on the topic has been done already, and it's no use leaving it up so someone can get all hot or bothered by it. The thread and article title is already reasonably controversial, and it's a matter of time before it happens here, taking into consideration that the content of the article isn't much less controversial. While no one has gotten agitated yet, the thread has been dug up after being inactive numerous times now. I'm not entirely sure how to go about this and whether I should just leave it until one of the moderators happens across it, so I'm going to report it. Mods, please advise if I should avoid doing so in future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
