It's funny how people get upset at a niche gaming forum like they control the games industry. I remember years ago it was neogaf that was the big bad gaming forum, but now nobody talks about it. Also Reddit and other forums are just forums. There's plenty of other places to have discussions. In fact Reddit allows anyone to create sub reddits. Why can't a group of like-minded people who want to have "non-status quo" discussions create their own communities for it? That's how Reddit overtook Digg. But I think what's really the complaint here is that people don't like that they don't have a mainstream audience. They want to have their posts have the widest reach possible for ego and they don't like moderators deleting their posts or being downvoted. At the end of the day none of it really matters. Why are people waging pointless online wars about internet communities? Do they think they're shaping society?
