So steam is good, right? Maybe, this is the social network aspect of steam, but for Playstation, Xbox, Wii etc. I'm getting really tired of all this pessimism

I'm getting really tired of all this pessimism on HN. I wish pg would institute the "if you don't have anything nice to say stfu" rule.
- RussianCow 13y agoThis is constructive criticism, not pessimism. If a product posted on HN is totally worthless, should we all just be optimistic about it and praise it anyway? (Not saying DPADD is worthless, just using an analogy.)
- eropple 13y agoYou confuse criticism of design for pessimism. I don't think it's for consoles; if it is intended for them, who's going to let them on their platform? What console manufacturers are going to let them into the hooks that PSN/Xbox Live reserve for themselves? It is in consoles' best interest not to allow cross-anything that they don't have to, and if it isn't in the system they're playing games on, its reason for existence is murky.
