Why Does Neogaf Want These New Systems To Fail

My favorite source of NeoGAF information comes from this twitter feed. I have no problem with the forum itself, other than the part where it's somehow considered important by the gaming industry for no other reason than its size and supposed exclusivity.

Because PC MASTER RACE

Because on the internet dissing and hating something for no real reason is cool.

god if everything went mobile I would quit games.

please don't refer to NeoGaf as one mind..

So you're saying, you need these systems to succeed. Because I couldn't care less about the AAA games published over the last couple of years.

On topic: there is no one "gaf". Plenty of users with different opinions as in any other forum.

@pie: Their moderation is more strict than most forums (though not strict enough to prevent it from becoming a shitshow of hostile pricks, "fanboys", and unfunny idiots surfing an ocean of pointless GIFs). They've added a minor roadblock to GAF membership in the form of banning sign-ups from gmail and hotmail addresses. The (erroneous) impression that GAF users have gotten that these policies keep out kids and other riff raff coupled with the inexplicable fact that a lot of industry insiders lurk on GAF has deluded the userbase into believing the site to be a conspicuously mature, intelligent and rational community for discussing video games. The truth, however, is that they're only slightly more mature--and many times more obnoxious--than the people who frequent forums at places like gametrailers.

Such self-importance over a video game forum. Hilarious.

While I know this doesn't represent the whole forum, I still find it appalling that there's more than one person that thinks "They don't like us because there jealous"

Neogaf requires non-free emails maybe that has something to do with it.

Social sciences and all.

Say, does signing up for a phone give you an email? If so then that would almost certainly explain things.

True xD

Because some men just want to watch the world burn.
