Bait threads, troll threads, and the Sony fanboy enigma.

[StuartAce]

Guys us long time Steam users know that every big game gets its fair share of bait and troll threads on here, people are just ♥♥♥♥♥ sometimes, but with this game it will be considerably worse due to Sony fanboys, and how pathetic they continue to be.

Please dont fall for it, please dont give obvious bait/troll threads any time and effort.

There is no worse or obsessed fanbase than Sony fanboys, and their obsession over Xbox.

Dont give them the satisfaction as the deep dive for this game just blew my mind, and it deserves better. Its not often we get games of this scope and scale.

Still a step up from YouTube comments... that's something.

I'm not in on the Sony fanboys phenomenon, why are they coming here to troll?
Is it because BGS is now part of Microsoft and Sony people hate Microsoft enough to engage in mischief in what they perceive to be "Microsoft communities"?

I'm with you 110%. But I think it might be true that Star Citizen fanboys are worse. Those guys are like a cult.

To be fair, i'm sure it must be hard for SC fans who are waiting years after years to play even a semi finished version of their game, then Strafield pops out of the blue lol.

Why not play both?.

Sony needed competition from Starfield to if they knew it or not. That could sound rude or more than i mean by that, but Sony needs to step up their game as much as anyone else. They were doing the same garbage spam as everyone else just much deserved customer loyalty was letting them get away with it easier than anyone else.

Many dont know Sony and Sanyo and Datsun and many companies changed the world to what it is today, in the good ways, but many do remember and give Sony the respect it deserves. But still.

I'm quite sure it's like sportsball for some people... you can only be happy if your player/team wins.

Sounds like a regular day on the Steam forums in general.

Im not sure is this abnormal. When i went to check tiple A steam forums half of threads are just angry posts or troll posts for the longest time now.

It did not used to be like this before.

Indie games steam forums are insanely civil in comparison.

Just a little busier. What's good about this is it gives you a long list of people to block and a longer list of threads and posts you can just easily ignore come launch.

I like the pragmatism of that viewpoint! 😁

LOL, yeah, and I'm not even kidding. Going to really suck for them, especially the know-nothings, if all of the knowledgeable folks do the same.

Totally play both. Heaven knows there’s not enough properly massive, open-world, space sims being made. Space is expensive.

What do we have?
Starfield, Elite Dangerous, NMS, X4 and SC (to a certain extent).

(Empyrion might also belong on that list but I haven’t played it in years, so I have no idea what the scope is right now.)

Off topic and being hateful but not blocking you yet.

I have never blocked anyone because im not into pushing key board buttons against fellow customers.

all the sony fanboys are coming to a PC platform to complain about a mid looking game that's just "fallout 4 in space"???

[rob.dee]

[El Fuerte]

Sony fanboys are bad but Xbots can be even worse.
