Can we please not go down this stupid road?

It has been getting really hard lately talking about some things. The stupid over the top fanboysm about some things has been getting way out of hand. You would think that gamers would be more civilized because they actually use their brain when playing, but no, they are actively trying to be idiots.

Diablo 3, Steam, Ubisoft come first on my mind. (as an example) And while FraterPerdurabo created a thread, asking people to leave out DRM discussion (you know, because some people want to do other things and talk about other stuff than masturbate and bash DRM at the same time), people still are spamming the damn thread with DRM related posts.

I am fully aware that you hate DRM. But please, can you leave the fuck out your stupid shit and let me and others have some discussion without every second post being related to DRM? If you're not interested, there's no point in spamming threads that don't relate to DRM.

(I fully expect this thread to be reported for abuse and terrorism and what else not, and my posts downrepped to hell and back, but meh, wanted to get this out of my chest.)

God, I hate DRM so much I reply to this thread.

Actually only one person posted about the DRM(for the most part) in that thread you speak of, and I don't think they were trolling. Plus they seemingly backed off when it became apparent that that thread was for non-D3 DRM related discussion.

Then you started swearing for no reason(A bit is fine but saying fuck 4+ times seemed like more than needed to bring your message across.) for one DRM related reply, and (seemingly) called him(I think) a troll/etc.

As for fanboyism here, I actually think it(if most of the positive/negative comments on the stuff here can be called "fanboyism" ) isn't so bad here. Many here just like to mention if they like or dislike various services/games/genres......yes some get a bit enthusiastic about it when doing so, but I don't think they get anywhere near(usually) the level of idiocy shown on some sites and forums.

That was just an example, as I wrote above "(as an example)".

I agree with you in general, but at the same time the moment we stop bitching about DRM is the moment it becomes okay for the industry to use it. I guess that's what piracy is for, but it's nice to talk about it more openly as well.

Thing is, you say that people were "spamming" about DRM in that thread(Frater's thread I mean) yet they weren't. It was just one post. And they weren't even discussing the D3 DRM, just how they thought(in their opinion) that discussing D3 without discussing the DRM that comes with it was near impossible to do(Regardless if this comment is true or not, it wasn't spamming about the D3 DRM by a long shot.).

(I dunno if you're upset about other things and just let your frustration build up[as some do] until you had to release it on something....anything.....but imo the way you brought it up in that thread was a tad harsh, and some of your words above are a bit far-fetched as to what happened. I did uprate you out of principle though, for speaking you mind without fear of reprisal....no worries about downrates from me.)

Sorry to say, but the actions of the industry do not hinge on the activity of the GOG.com forums. Bringing it up in every single thread doesn't help, but some people do it anyway. You can hardly even have a conversation about a game that happens to be on Steam without the thread turning into some irrelevant Steam-bashing nonsense.

I personally disagree with Elenarie that the situation with Diablo 3 is acceptable, but I fully agree with this thread. People need to lighten up.

When I saw "spammers" I was expecting you to address the kitchen spam lol

You and I both think alike, I was thinking the same thing ever since I saw this:

I get it , you guys hate steam and sometimes irrationally just drop it already.

That's another important thing to keep in mind; Diablo 3 is quite a special case. Truly, the DRM Diablo 3 employs has been about as disruptive to players as discussion on it has been to Diablo 3 discussion in general.

12 different posters, 10 discussing the game, 2 talking about the DRM (even though in the thread's title, it was clearly mentioned to leave out the DRM discussion). Even 1 post that in no way relates to the thread's topic can be considered spamming.

The old man is down the stupid road, though.

You can thank "Pheace" for starting the same argument in so many threads, over and over.

It's fine to talk about DRM here because GOG's mission is DRM-free gaming. But when people start raging against others for preferring DRM-free options, whining that DRM-free causes prices that aren't worth it, or other nonsense, the threads go down the toilet.

Some people can't accept that others have different preferences, and they're so insecure that they must start arguments and try to convince people their way of doing things is somehow better.

That's mostly true, but we contribute to the Google results showing how awful the Diablo 3 experience can get. If someone can't go anywhere without seeing the problem, that might end up being positive in the long run.

And sorry to say, but if a post is on-topic & somewhat civil then people shouldn't have to refrain from posting it simply because people "don't like reading that old steam/etc bashing nonsense" all day long. I swear....is it just me or do people not have the ability to mentally skip stuff they don't want to read in a thread/website/forum anymore?
