Games that get declared a target by the alt-right often do become full of it. Just because you haven’t seen it doesn’t mean it’s not a serious problem.

Gamergate never ended, and the lack of moderation on Steam has made it a very attractive place for fascists to spread propaganda. It’s been a serious problem for a very long time and Valve just isn’t doing anything about it.

If you respond to tell me that you were never gonna buy it, you prove my point.

It’s just kind of tiring how every post about anything Nintendo does ever has the exactly same whining every time, especially when you’re not actually whining about FRLG here at all, you’re just whining to whine. You just want something to be mad at.

Well if you’re replying me just to tell me you were never going to buy it, you’re proving my point.

They were never gonna buy this game.

So you were never gonna buy it no matter what the price tag was.

Rerelease or not, is it that surprising that the thing that just launched has more people currently checking it out than the thing that launched three years ago? D4 had a higher peak at launch, and I would expect D2R to eventually drop off over time.

I feel like people who were never gonna buy it no matter what the price tag was just want something to be mad at.

I haven’t played too many, but out of the ones I have played I wanna say 2. Improves on 1 in meaningful ways, pure classic formula without any weird gimmicks, and I think it just had some of the best boards and minigames.

Print and play, means everything you need is in a single PDF.

I played FF7 for the first time a few years ago and I was honestly expecting that it might not have aged super gracefully, that the transition to 3D probably came with a lot of growing pains that would be excused as a product of its time. I was actually pleasantly surprised by how well it held up for me.

It definitely does still have some small growing pains, summons would’ve drove me insane without the Switch port’s fast forward, and every time it tries to wow the player with VFX I had to remind myself that this was cutting edge in 1997. But overall, the nitpicks I had weren’t much, it was a lot better than I expected.

I haven’t played Remake though, don’t plan to do so until it’s done.

If it continues to get bad enough, you can lock the forum down from new accounts so they can’t make alts.

The reason it got this bad was because they didn’t nip it in the bud sooner. If they had been more proactive from the start, there wouldn’t be 700+ threads.

At this point, just nuke them all and ban everyone who made a bigoted troll thread. It’s gonna be a game of whack-a-mole for a little while, but once you start handing out bans, the trolling will start die down.

Yup.

What do you want Steam to do?

Moderate, like every other half-decent platform does.

They’re not just trying to remove negative reviews for being negative though, this is about bad actors weaponizing the review system to push bigotry. That should not be platformed.

Steam has a serious problem with a lack of moderation, which has made it a very attractive platform for fascists. Gamergate never ended, and remember that began with Steve Bannon realizing he could exploit gamer outrage to push propaganda. They keep inventing new scandals to repeat their past success.

One of my favorite games had a very minor patch to revise some cringier elements from early in the game’s lifespan. Years later, the forum is still unusuable because it’s been colonized by right-wing weirdos with 0.3 hours on record who have dedicated their lives to crying about a game they never cared about pre-patch, because they saw it as an opportunity to push their propaganda.

I’m beginning to suspect this thread is just you having a personal grudge and vagueposting about it.
