I would only take it as really leaving if the account gets closed, otherwise I will assume it's a break from ResetERA for a little bit and not outright leaving until it happens (hopefully doesn't happen).
Sad to see Mazi go however :((

I'd also like an update if possible if anything gets decided for the future of the japanese sale community. It's one of my favourite weekly events.
I feel so bad that Chris is leaving, this thread really died now. Thanks Chris, and the other regulars that are leaving after last night. I don't blame them one bit and would do the same if it had happened to me. Wish them love.
And I hope the mods are happy with what they did to this community. As a longggg time lurker, I just lost one of the few reasons I even opened Resetera weekly.

Mazi will leave to?? Man, that is also a huge loss!
Chris never coming back is sooo...unreal.
At this moment...i dont know what to say...
But Chris is gone, mazi is gone and Lelouch not maiking NPD anymore and Bruno MB also banned....Like...that really, really hurts.
It really hurts.

I don't even know what else exists beyond Era and Discord anymore nowadays lol
rip then
This kind of mindset is one of the reasons the guidelines were created. Why am I a troll? Because I mostly lurk, haven't been in MC threads for as long as some of the regulars and I don't always see eye to eye with their analysis?
But the punishment was the day long ban. Please don't tell me you consider the staff post some sort of punishment. It boils down to "don't act like everyone's up to date on two decades of MC community memes", "be nice or don't engage" and "post your sources if you didn't compile the info yourself". If you think someone's trolling, report them. It's pretty much the general forum rules...
We only need Famitsu to stop sharing numbers and then we'll achieve the ultimate level of discussion! 😂
It's not just the one day ban, it is a lot more on top of the one-day ban
Like I said. Can't undo that damage. Crumple that piece of paper and you'll never get it flat again.
Yeah as if that helped over the last year.
I don't think I have made a grand total of more than 5 posts across MC threads, but I've been silently following them for years. This is just sad.
After all the lack of data leads to better discussion as evidenced by the NPD and Pal threads
I see. Thanks for the info :)
Thats interesting. I am curious if things can change with Metroid Dread. Thanks for the info :)
I see, thats interesting. Maybe it can be an indication of increased popularity of how Metroid Dread will do, indeed. Thanks for the info :)
Ah ok, i understand. I think maybe that i misunderstood you earlier, sorry. When you said "you really can't make this up", i thought maybe that you meant that it was surprising that all of this happened due to ToA being released, so i just go a bit curious if anything special had happened in regards to ToA, and if the situation was surprising (i also didnt read all the discussion in the thread around this, so i missed much, unfortunately). But i see what you mean in this reply, and i think what you say here sounds like a good summary of the overall situation, i agree. Thanks for the detailed answer :)

Been mostly a lurker in these threads since I don't have much insight into the Japanese market specifically. While it did seem like a lot of threads had some redundant themes with weekly complaint sessions about Publisher A ignoring Platform X and it all being Person P's fault, they were broadly much better threads than many of the shower thought threads thrown around on ResetEra because they were first and foremost underpinned by the presentation of new data every week. Anyway, just throw my lot in with those thinking the moderation decisions here seemed misaligned with the problem.
I dunno. I only peek in here from time to time out of curiosity, but even I know that these threads have been a troll hotspot for years, with three users in particular sticking out and only being permabanned for completely different reasons.
I don't envy the mods/admins, but from what I saw, there was only one that really ever cared about cleaning up that kind of behaviour and they've long since left. For Chris to receive a warning in the first place for replying to another person trying to stir the pot just seems like missing the point.

Same for me tbh. The most active i was happened during the gaf-era transition when i made the first MC thread while we waited for Chris to come over. I m a lurker, but the threads felt like my place on era.
Welp, guess that's the end of salesera. If Chris is gone I don't see the point of sticking around MC threads, especially with the new guidelines. Many thanks to Chris for his work over the years.
Will miss all the salesera regulars. If Chris is going somewhere else and you find out, I'd appreciate a pm.
I'll be watching what Hiska does but it looks like MC threads are prety much done for.
I see no point in having a mirror of the other site's threads and posting behaviors
They are rising up for the wrong reasons, and saying they lost their only reason for lurking. I don't think you're gonna get what you want here.
Well… not much more to add to this event.
Thanks Chris for the dedication, the weekly posts, the incredible work with the white paper and everything else. Been a blast reading this threads weekly since discovering them a few years back. Good luck in life!

Yeah, I totally agree. Sales discussion/analysis, graphs and all is the only thing I read here along with Direct threads and lately Future Nintendo Hardware threads.
Biggest mistake of the staff team was to not assign a mod for these thread right after Nibel quit. It definitely feels like the recent decisions were made by someone who is not well-versed with the specific dynamics and the history of these threads.
Even back on GAF, there was Nirolak, who was a mod & a big part of the MC threads.

I'd argue cvxfreak having a more active role in moderating the thread going forward could warrant a bit more patience from regulars before cutting ties, considering his history with this business and these threads.
Agree 100%. Taken in a vacuum with no context I can see how regular old mods would be confused.
Dang this is really sad to hear. It's a shame how many people get chased away from this place. Chris will definitely be missed. Hopefully someone else takes over Media Create threads.
Same would honestly love it as I really do enjoy reading his opinions on the Japanese market.
Unless Chris and the other regulars come back this thread will more then likely be the last I ever post on any Sales Era topic. So that's gonna be a no from me
Also left ERA. I miss his insights into game studios through job listings. He was the one who predicted CD Avengers would be a GaaS title back then. Sigh.............
If someone is taking over, they would also need to archive/compile data, and that's a big task.
Market analysis is going to be harder from now on.
Please don't tag people to try to foist responsibility onto them
If anyone tries to take up Chris's mantle it's going to have to be organically, by their own choice, and come from a similar place of dedication—one that is willing to be stretched out for years and years.
It ain't happening right away, leave folks alone
