Fandom Gruff ┬─┬ノ( º _ ºノ) UNFLIPPED THREAD

[Mine Turtle]

Personally, I kinda see where he's coming from. Look back a year from now at the forum; back then nobody really knew each other; few got together on Skype or other social medias, and those who did mainly did so due to work they wanted to carry out with the engine they had been provided with. I don't think he wants us to be complete work-machines, but I think hes completely right about the fact that the group of individuals who reside in this tread aren't exactly amnesia focused anymore, and with the amount of fucking around that goes on in here its not exactly difficult to lose track of the game's spirit, as well as the collective interest and appeal for Amnesia we all used to have. I've seen several people (whom I wont name) who have been charging at beginners as if they know them in person, and mocking them at a personal level; and this kills off some of the potential that beginners to the forum may have. On the topic of new projects; when was the last time you all showed some collective interest in a project that was announced in the dev-section (which, personally, isn't exactly easy due to the amount of beginners who collectively take on storylines which have been milked dry) ? I certainly can't remember the last time I posted comments on a project in the dev-section (though I can't speak for everyone). This also contributes to killing off any possible potential someone may have, who is new to this forum, and want to take on the horror genre by storm with support from others. Isn't showing support, providing feedback and criticism for other peoples' projects what this forum was really for (as well as providing opinions on the games that have been released), rather than fucking around with bromance 24/7?

Now this argument is quite one sided (and possibly wrong( and most likely went kind of off topic whilst I wrote it)), and I also realize things had to be done subconsciously to keep this forum alive and active; but I'm certainly seeing less of the amnesia forum that I entered over a year ago. I'm witnessing less than 10% of the project-focus that was witnessed back in the day (but I cant really say that for sure due to my dev-section inactivity), and personally I believe its not really going the right direction. Just sayin.
