@dr_mantas: That's very problematic of you to say.

@thatpinguino: "So site owners can't arbitrarily enforce censorship without people crying censorship huh?"

Literally what you just said. And yes, I am aware that Neogaf is a private site that can theoretically stop all discussion of the colour blue if they wanted, that's not the point. Nobody here is crying "BUT MY RIGHT TO FREE SPEECH!!!", I'm saying it's a very poor principle and sets a bad precedent that has me worried if other big gaming forums follow suit with freely censoring or stifling the conversation whenever they feel like it.

@pezen: The latter, but I don't see how it's pointless. Neogaf is one of the largest gaming forums on the internet, certainly one of the most known. Stifling discussion on it seems like a real bad idea and sets a nasty precedent for all gaming discussion online tbh.

@mortal_sb: Except Steam actually is selling it, or will soon, since Gabe personally emailed the Greenlight team and the devs to put it back up after it was taken down for literally no reason despite being a very popular Greenlight. In addition, discussion is not endorsing. Do you get angry at American History X because it "gives a stage" to hate speech or something?

@baillie: "I don't like thing so nobody should get thing! Consistency be damned!"

@mithical: I'm pretty sure banning all discussion of a game, be it negative, positive, or neutral, is a very childish and short-sighted tactic that actually makes Neogaf look bad and just helps facilitate a big ol' echo chamber. Regardless of your thoughts on the game, the story and narrative surrounding the game is a very interesting one to many people, hence why many, many gaming sites have written articles about it and discussed it.

@amyggen: Why? Or rather, why not?

As someone with no interest in playing Hatred at all, that's some hot garbage. It's incredibly arbitrary to decide which games are allowed to be discussed and which aren't.

Guys please try not to get into GamerGate debates, I'd hate to have this thread locked when it's definitely about something worth talking about that should be known

@planetfunksquad: he originally announced you'd get Steam keys back in April, so there was certainly purchases made between then and now with the customer buying copies under the promise of getting Steam keys

FYI I just wanted to expose a scummy dev for being scummy, and that plus some snarky comments I made have apparently made me out to trying to make a secret GG topic or something, which is frustrating. Maybe it's the fedora avatar. It certainly doesn't help, I'd guess.

@make_me_mad: "People seem really bad at dealing with human interaction online, which I guess shouldn't be so surprising." It's made even worse by the fact that the social media sites du jour are specifically designed from the ground up to become echo chambers where people shout their ideas without any response besides a favouriting. Both Twitter and Tumblr are extremely guilty of this - any Twitter conversation larger than three people becomes an impossible mess to follow, and it's practically impossible to have ANY kind of dialogue on Tumblr.

@teaoverlord: If that were the case, it sure as hell would have been a very inefficient and roundabout way to do so. Plus rather illogical, if I wanted to discuss GG, there's a billion other forums to do it on.
