NeoGAF & ResetERA - The Hilarious N̶e̶v̶e̶r̶e̶n̶d̶i̶n̶g̶ Splintering "Gaming" Forum Circus

[LoneCasshew]

The individual Neogaf communites seemed to be trying to survive as their own Discord servers for the time being but they keep inviting the entirety of Neogaf to them defeating the purpose of holding individual communities together

This send me a genuine shiver on my back

Neogaf was founded as a spinoff of a small website called Gaming Age, run by Jim Cordeira. Malka bought the forum in the early 2000s but the news website carried on under the original management.

Gaming Age's home page on October 20th:

Their home page today:

The ultimate insult.

This shit is why they will never be accepted anywhere. For starters they're too exceptional. Second, they're too proud of their faux-superiority that they will never shut up about it, and thus easily be spotted and expunged from any community they try to go to.

You mean they have to... *Gasp* ... GROW UP?

THE HORROR

You know wherever they go, they will boast about being from NeoFAG and then immediately be zapped with chemo and radiation to burn out the cancer.

Mmm... I wonder how bad this place is...

Oh. Yeah, they will fit right in.

Tie your accounts to social security numbers? That’s not authoritarian or fascist at all right? All because you’re mad over freedom of speech, diversity not being catered to, and the majority of people espousing political views to the right of Marx?

There has been talk since the 90s of requiring a license to use the internet, and I'd imagine that tying your SSN to that would be a logical step. However, everytime it's brought up, it's shot down by a combination of privacy issues, free speech issues, and technical problems.

Not only that, Yooka Laylee tanked and bombed and will most likely be remembered as an average failure while A Hat In Time still sells well with great reception.

Yooka Laylee sold about 200k units across all platforms, and its score collapsed, so much for a game which cost about $3-4m to make. It's made about $8m or so in total, so we might see more from Playtonic but with less idiocy on their part after being burned by the hardcore which could've boosted those sales quite a bit more. But it's hardly in the realm of "being able to make more games off of the back of this" budgeting. This probably gets trimmed a bit more considering marketing budgets etc.

A Hat In Time by comparison was made on a budget of $260k, and just on PC is hitting the 65k mark as we speak, punting their current dosh to over $1m. It seems to be a slight sleeper hit and is now seeing more and more people buy it as the quality of the game gets out there.

Fucking Jed Whitaker. The guy too big of a cuck not to get fired by fucking Destructoid.

 

[Racist Trash]

Patrick Topkek and pals still haven't reported yet, by now they would have shat out several "articles" if the subject matter wasn't about their buddies. They are so fucking transparent.

 

[Keystone]

Not sure how true it is but I heard that Vice is suspending almost all the gafugees' accounts at the moment. They are pariahs in every sense of the word.

 

[Robotron]

Looks like Geonaf worked out well.

We now live in a day and age where you could publicly say "I'm a Kiwi Farmer" and be more liked than a neogaffot.

Source pls?

Imagine being so hated that literally everywhere you go you get ran off within hours.

Like I said, not sure how true it is.

This, however, seems to be the current plight of gaf users --

 

[TerminalTryHard]

I wonder how much longer the fleeing gaffots will be able to tell themselves that all the people who hate them are just alt-righters.

I love that the reason Klepek and Schrier finally are finally writing articles on Neogaf is to distance themselves from it.

Meanwhile /v/ continues to suck massive fucking dick:

 

[AnOminous]

DAAAMN. You know you're really hated when even a milksop like Boogie is spitting and dancing on your grave.

Holy shit!

We shit on Boogie a lot here but you have to admit this is a guy who bends over backwards to be nice to fucking everyone, even terrible people.

And even Boogie is like "burn in Hell motherfuckers."

ModBot was the worst, most chickenshit invention of gaffots, a bot solely created so the cowardly cunt mods there could get away with murder (and as we have found recently rape too).

I don't think we'll be seeing much from Playtonic again. Even without the whole JonTron debacle, they benefitted off of wayward Nintendo fans who wanted a modern take on Banjo-Kazooie style gameplay and then promptly threw those donors under the bus by canning the Wii U release and keeping the Switch version as vaporware. Any future game will have to be amazingly good to make up for the disappointment and burnt bridges that YL caused, and I just don't see that happening.
