The fact that someone had to say something like this shows how absolutely insane some people get about their games. |

Oh look, someone who runs a different fansite being a bum about some other fansites postings.
Yes, Dusters normally isn't worth my time. But FFS, give them a thumbs up when they say something that needs to be heard. |

The MAG-based community has found this blog funny to read for quite some time, but when they decided to label my blog as a "fake" and a "shame", I thought it was funny...seeing as how we did nothing to provoke it. That, along with some other lame posts, started the drama of them being a "tabloid". A History of the Galactic News NetworkBut whatever, you're right....they do have a good point here.....finally. But really...does it really need to be said that the sexual preferences of gamers is not news? I mean...come on......
Oh, I was unaware of the history there, didn't know I was stepping into a beef.
Most of their blog is useless, but they made a good post, so +1 to them.
Like I said in my first post, it is a sad state of affairs that something like this even needs to be said, but it does, and I am glad someone said it.
Eve side, people go to crazy lengths about wanting to know who you are, to the point of ridiculous invasions of privacy. Once that mindset gets into Dust, I am out of here. So here is to hoping people remember that games are games, and to keep the playing apart from the real world. |

Actually, the vast majority of Eve players are very strict about keeping gaming and real-life issues separate as they know all too well the dangers of crossing the thin line. As noted during the case of the 'Drunk Mittani' during Fanfest 2012, many players rallied to help the player with the alleged suicidal thoughts to keep him from doing anything rash after being flooded with "kill yourself" messages.
Well, that is a good piece of news indeed. The last time I was interested in joining up with a well known corp Eve side was before that event, and the amount of information they were requesting was obscene.
Glad to hear some sense is taking hold. |
