I’m going to respectfully disagree that the moderation team doesn’t allow discussion or is somehow trying to play enforcer. I’d argue that this forum is the least oppressive when it comes to moderation, go look at any other forum and see how long the ban lists are.

This whole Indiana Jones thing isn’t a one time thing. It’s months upon months of the same small group worrying about exclusivity, or worrying about the image of Xbox, or worrying about what insignificant Twitter trolls or other forum members will think of Xbox.

Back in March when the Xbox/Bethesda deal was closing and Phil Spencer said “some games will be exclusive” a majority of those same people completely derailed the forum by acting like children because Phil Spencer said “some”.

A few weeks ago when it was revealed Quake would be multiplatform, the vocal minority once again attempted to completely derail the forum by complaining about a 25 year old game being on Playstation. This isn’t new. It’s a pattern of toxic behavior.

The moderation team all agree that basically anything about Xbox can be discussed. Criticism is welcomed. But when it’s shown that a few select members have a clear agenda to take over discussion with fanboy fueled discussions, it’s a problem. This one Indiana Jones discussion probably wasn’t on the level of those other examples, but it’s just a symptom of a larger issue.

I agree with you on most points but the final one.

This wasn’t nearly as bad as you guys seem to make and one of you made a mistake being disrespectful, that’s all proven, it’s not rocket science.

I’m being flagged now? I’m done with this place, grow up.

I agree it wasn’t “as bad” but it was heading toward the same outcome. If I or any of the moderation came off as disrespectful I apologize.

I kind of feel you… Maybe

I felt something similar back a month ago.

It was like I wasn’t alone in having the discussion which everyone wasn’t liking. But at the end I was the only one called out by one mod for being a troll.

I don’t think one person alone could ever derail a thread or something like that. There are other in the conversation as well. But simply being called out alone is disrespectful.

It is like the high school where the whole class was making noise in the class. But teacher only punished one student to set an example.

It is really disrespectful. Mods should simply put a separate message to ask for the said conversation to stop. It works most of the time. Or if they have too, quote everyone from the said conversation.

Note: this doesn’t mean I think what you were discussing was wrong. But what happened was definitely wrong.

What happened? What did I miss?

Nick claims Indy is exclusive, Jez claims its not which sparked another debate.

I see. It should be exclusive though. It is funny how Sony can have exclusive games, while Xbox can’t or shouldn’t have according to some people due to one reason or another. Personally I am not really sure what will MS do. You can never expect the best decision from them.

People can flag anything, it doesn’t mean it’s accepted. As far as the one for @Shakez image

Also, Jez claim his info is old and it’s possible that Nick info is more recent, time will tell.

Yes but I think Jez has never been wrong (?) so I fear he might be right.

Which mods need to say “sorry”? I’m getting whiplash on people saying that others are “petulant children” and then we’re being disrespectful for trying to do our unpaid jobs in the most hands-off way imaginable? Which is it, now? I stand by every single thing I said and I have no plans to apologize for trying to help steer the conversation into a more positive place in the end.

Tbh Jez said Starfield was Crossgen. Not calling him out on it but someone is wrong once in a while

Jez track record is not perfect, am sure he missed at some point, but like I’ve said, time will tell.

Has BGS ever done crossgen on its flagship titles? No

That seems like an easy thing to discuss.

He said he heard Starfield might be cross gen mere day’s before E3

With the shortages on hardware I’m sure most games have been discussed about being cross-gen. Xbox has a solution though with cloud streaming built into old consoles so they are able to transition more quickly than Sony is, funnily enough.

I do wish folks would ease up on the flagging though. Is it like a one flag thing, or can there be a threshold before it gets marked as “ignored content”?

I thought that was him speculating, not giving info from a source.
