User Banned (Permanent): Concern trolling over mental health; prior ban for trolling in a sensitive thread and account in junior phase
I'm probably going to be banned for this but the more I watch Jim Sterling the more I become concerned for Jim's mental health. I feel like they should maybe take a break.
EDIT: Fixed.

I wonder how some Nintendo fans would react if they decided to port BotW to promote BotW2.
Every company has its own zealots that hate everything that isn't the piece of plastic they choose. It's also possible that a lot of these fanboys are just 12-year olds that don't know any better.

Yeah, weirdly, I've seen more complaining about people complaining than anything else lol
Most sane people aren't, but there are at least some twitter warriors I've seen that aren't happy for sure.
You should read the PS Blog announcement comments, Playstation twitter handle comments. Its all there. Here at least they've learned to stay quiet for the most part so you don't hear much about them here thankfully.
While there's merit in discussing how companies foster this bahvior when it comes to exclusivity, I do share your sentiment though. I hardly saw any real backlash, at least not like before. Few fanboys taking the piss here and there but not much else
No, you'd just have to be a console fanboy. Of which there are plenty and many.
Jim, rather Steph Sterling came out as non binary. You're using "he" for a "they" (see the thread note at the bottom https://www.resetera.com/threads/ja...mes-is-good-probably-the-jimquisition.279704/)
Jim Stephanie Sterling is not a "guy", they are non-binary and uses they/them pronouns.
Edit: oops too slow
Refer to James Stephanie Sterling as their correct pronouns, they / them.
Mental health? What are you - a professional psychiatrist or something? What, specifically, are you seeing in these videos to lead you to mental health issues?
The outcry/shock was strong back in the Horizon Zero Dawn announcement but it's making less and less noise with every new announcement. It's also interesting to see how Sony is not hiding anymore when announcing PC ports. Unlike Horizon, which was very controlled and put into context, God of War had a full PS Blog post, Twitter post and trailer on YouTube, just like a new big PS5 announcement. You can see the marketing does not feel the need to be cautious anymore with PC releases.
Oh there is a guy on the psblogs that literally has the name no Pc ports and the god of war face. There are many who and mad about it. Lmao even some here making some weird ass justifications as why it shouldnt happen lol.
If only you had clicked the video which is the thread's topic, instead of rushing to have the thread's first comment, just maybe you would've seen some examples.
But why even call attention to it? Some of this feels like they dug through the muck just to be like, "Hey, there's muck!"
Cheers. Now I wish you'd expect what's with the mental health comment though... like, why would you say something like that 🤦♀️
Erm, literally the thread on this very forum announcing GoW on PC got locked for that very reason.
We aren't allowed nice things as a result.
If you check, you can find pretty much everything on the internet, but a few dozen people don't represent the vast majority
This is just giving useless attention to a few fanboys
You've not been paying attention. Wouldn't it be better to ask for examples of outrage instead of this approach?
Because barring even this forum, I can cite examples from the PS Blog, from Reddit, and from Twitter that show that no, it's not simply a handful of people "melting down" over GOW on PC.
Its definitely a minority of trolls, as it always is
Because (insert picture of copy of GoW or Console in trash/toliet) will always get large amounts of engagement
Look at twitter and you will see crazies who think Hermun Hulst is the anti-christ or will complain "there is no point in owning a playstation" if exclusives come to PC ever.
I was just stating it's out there. I don't care that a nearly 4 year old game is going to PC.
It's in the usual places. Just look at the comments on the GoW PC PlayStation blog post, Facebook post, YouTube or Twitter.
It's strange that there are people who still complain about this kind of stuff. If anything, it helps to build an even bigger budget for future titles in the respective series. At worst...nothing happens. You still get to play your game on your console.
User Banned (2 Weeks): Concern Trolling over Mental Health; History of Trolling
Yeah, been saying this for months ever since that video where they said that they hate that they made gaming their job
There were half a dozen at least in the reveal thread here on ERA I added to my ignore list. Going off about how it 'devalues the brand' and saying Sony might as well stop making consoles if they put old games on PC
I've definitely seen people complain about it, even on here. It's very weird. I don't care about the ports coming 3-5 years after the console release, and I won't care if Sony ever decides to release on PC day one with consoles. It doesn't affect me at all and just seems like a very petulant attitude to have.
Someone threw a fit in the PS Studio thread, I think he eventually got over it.
Imagine if Sony started supporting PC with day one releases, some of these fans would lose their noodle.
