But there are plenty of other forums and newsgroups having that discussion. |
I meant Elemental threads on the Elemental forums. And I'm not surprised either, I'm just bothered by the behavior. I didn't think my post was that unclear to be honest. 
I am just thinking that if I were Stardock and I made this awesome gem of a game, I would let the beta community ooh and ahh all day long. The only reason (in my estimation) to hide features and lock threads is to obfuscate the fact that it's not all it's cracked up to be. |
It usually goes like this:
Guy 1: Man this game is not ready to be released. It is not fun, buggy and is nowhere near polished.
Guy 2: STFU you retard! Beta 4 is nothing like release! It is going to pwnzer and you are dumb and stuff.
Me: Hey, you probably shouldn't call that guy a retard just because he is critical of the current state of the game.
Guy 2: LAWL you are retard too for thinking it is not ready.
Frogboy: The betas are nothing like the actual game we are going to be releasing; you guys were really playing the beta for another game.
Guy 2: LOL told you so dewdz.
Guy 3: LOL noobs Stardock tricked you noobs into thinking you were playing teh Elemental Beta.
Thread gets locked.
Rinse, repeat.
