Truth Can Hurt and But Can Set You Free

I understand what you are trying to say, but I dont believe there was ever a "good olde days", not for the world of video games. I've been gaming for over 25 years and there hasn't been a game or time when people didn't have their own ideas and believes on what makes value. Being honest that covers more than just video games.

Maybe in the early 80s people took what ever they got. There was no internet then, gaming was in its infancy. Not to mention many people thought gaming was just a fad, and would disappear with in just a few short years.

I have no problems with people posting their qualms. So long as there some logic, thought and good reason behind said posts. Its those types of posts that can provide constructive criticism. I feel the majority around the SPOOKYPACKGATE issue haven't been logical. But thats not to say the majority of the posts on this fourm or any fourm for that matter aren't. I've seen some garbage, for the most part I feel the remaining people here on this fourm have been caerful to filter away.

Part of the internet is the beauty of its openness. No matter if you dont like the content, saying someone isn't or shouldnt be posting isnt right. While I may complain about their contents of what they post, I have no right to complain that they posted or want to post.

You make a very good, and very valid point. But playing devil's advocate, remember the days when you went to the store and bought a finished/complete game? remember when the product you bought didn't need day-one patches to even play it cause the developers knew they screwed up big time pressing the disc, and you didn't have to make sure your internet connection worked to be able to try the game you just bought? Remember when ❤︎❤︎❤︎❤︎❤︎❤︎❤︎❤︎❤︎❤︎❤︎, unfinished products didn't go on sale, just to reach some arbitrary publishing date? (with some exceptions, of course. Looking at you , you hatefull ET cartridge on Atari 2600!! {yeah, I'm THAT old, too})

The day the developers started putting out unfinished products and hoping to fix problems down the road (and basically use the end user as a beta tester), they opened the doors to these kinds of arguments, like it or not.

Just my two cents.

This sums it up quite nicely.
