MMORPG.com has turned off commenting on their articles concerning the Activision Blizzard charges. It's nice to know that I've been coming here and commenting since 2004, and been part of the reason they earn ad revenue, but my opinion isn't welcome on this issue. And neither is yours.
Comments
Not really much to see anywhere that adds any new information or insight. If you enjoy seeing endless variations of the same finger wagging, though, you are in luck!
It's not really censorship though they just don't want 50 threads they will have to babysit on so locked them down except for the one where you can comment.
Brenics ~ Just to point out I do believe Chris Roberts is going down as the man who cheated backers and took down crowdfunding for gaming.
Someone always has to ruin it. The fact that this thread is even allowed to exist is kind of a testament to the reason people still come here. As long as it stays civil you still get to be heard which is more than I can say for the other million sites out there that don't care what any of us think.
Are you sure? I'm looking at the front page top article and there are plenty of comments.

Looks like they're allowing commenting on the new article.
Not like you are a paying customer, probably even using an ad blocker like most of us.
This is one of the more open places to post that I know of that isn't 4 chan.

I lack tact, it seems most gamers do. But if we didn't.. we might be able to tell each other to go to hell more often.
I believe there is even a NEW angle being played by journalists,websites but i will not spell it out it is up to the individual to pay attention and read between the lines.
It is actually very lame when you put up something for discussion but don't allow any discussion ,it really PROVES there is a lot of kiss assing in this industry.
I mean it could be as simple as the person who put this up there was given orders from someone else to not allow any comments.
Either way you slice it this site has done this several times and is telling you that this site should not be looked at as having INTEGRITY.Obviously someone is AFRAID but afraid of What,some typed words over the internet,afraid Blizzard might take some heat,WHY would this site care if Blizzard takes heat...think about it...lmao seriously.
Never forget 3 mile Island and never trust a government official or company spokesman.
It could be as simple as we already have one thread open for discussion on this topic so why have two separate threads doing the exact same thing.However,this site should have then embedded the Blizzard spokeman's statement into the original thread instead of making another thread,it comes off as two fold,click bait and pointless.
I mean this site has for years removed threads from users if basically on the same subject but seems that priority changes when it's not a user.

MMORPG.com doesn't trust us to comment on their Activision Blizzard posts
For damn good reason.The comments on this site prove every day that if a topic gives posters here even the tiniest opportunity to make off topic and off the wall radical political comments about it, they will.
Workplace sexual inequality and abuse is not a topic that can be discussed intelligently or even rationally here as many comments on the threads that hadn't been locked prove.
