It's accurate like something that isn't accurate at all. But keep thinking whatever you want if it helps you sleep at night.

And the biggest point I got from his run of posts is that after a while it gets... boring. Boring to those involved I can only assume. As a perpetual spectator, if I dont like what I am reading, I merely move on to something else.

Look, as much as you would like to pretend to take the impartial line, it really doesn't work when you lace it with insults.

That never happened but it wouldn't be as good a put down if you couldn't make out it did. At no point have i "wilted", i have only stood up for myself since the start.

You are a group of friends, it's only natural that you help your friend but the pretending to be impartial and then insulting me while you do it, that's quite a low blow.




The point is, whenever people complain about activation drm or steam or things like that - all of which stop the resale of used games, making them useless, dethtoll et al have generally jumped on these said people and responded violently.

This was at its worst when steam was in its infancy and hl2 had just been out (and the years proceeding). At this time, there were people on the forums who would speak out against steam as it was a bad precedent, paving the way for games that could not be resold or even bought used. It was largely accepted, due to valve's saintly position among the gaming community. The reason people decided to speak out was that if publishers saw it was being accepted then they too would try it, realising it could be done. Over time it has gradually been accepted.
At that time, anyone who would say anything about this would be insulted, mocked and jumped upon by dethtoll and a few others.

I am not talking about lost-soul style posters here at all - it was long before he joined and in a far less "beating the same drum" manner.

Is that enough for me not to be accused of generalising yet? I admit the first post was a bit but it certainly was not groundless.



I don't really want to have to continue this as it's dragging on far too long. I have said things that were over the top and making this go on any long only makes me look more stupid.
