Twitter from Gaider concerning BSN
 

I read a post from David Gaider concerning BSN

I am one of those who avoids those forums as much as possible. I really wonder what happened. In the early days, BG2 and NWN the forums had a much friendlier tone.

Since its a fenomena that happens in a lot of internet flora on a wide spectrum of subjects, is it unavoidable? (hopefully!)

I understand Gaider very well. BSN must be a horrible place to visit for a dev. I also stopped visiting there for similar reasons. There is just too much noise and too much stupidity. No point wasting valuable time in that cesspool.

Then again maybe bioware and EA should rethink a bit how they hype their upcoming games. If they were more honest about what kind of games they are making, I doubt they faced such a backslash after every game release. Adds and previews etc should promise less and be more honest about the game.

If you are not making complex and non linear rpg games, stop argueing and pretending that you do. And for the love of god, please stop trying to please every gamer type. If you wish to serve COD audience, make a COD game. If you wish to make rpg gamers happy, make a rpg game. :)
