I never said I don't remove stuff I don't agree with. I don't remove stuff just because I don't agree with. Sometimes stuff that I don't agree with also breaks the rules of the subreddit. Sometimes that happens for stuff that I do agree with. It is kind of you to post what sort of nonesense gets removed. It does hurt your argument though. But you do you.


Lol

In my book, if a man has a direct financial interest in a project and he is tied to the company making it, he shouldn't be allowed to moderate unofficial media resources.

His opinion will be biased regardless of his personal qualities.

Yeah, I am removing spammy troll posts because I think I will earn million dollars off of my $500 FG investment once these posts subside and SG reach 100k concurrent players. You spoiled the whole plan.

Yes, and you don't realize it because of this bias.

lmao you put 500 bucks in that ?

Now I understand why you're mad and want to take it out on others 😆

The wise thing, though, would have been to cut your losses here. But instead, you decided to keep being a shill for a company that let you down. That's sad...

Guys, guys, you don't understand.

Stormgate is saved!

Is it any more sad than folks sticking around in perpetuity to dunk on a game they don’t like?

I mean yeah, what a car crash. But the sub became almost completely unusable for anyone who liked the game or wanted to actually talk about it many moons ago.

A lot of people were genuinely disgusted by the behaviour of the devs like changing the kickstarter and posting fake reviews. They did the damage to themselves.

IMO yes, because it's not just that the game is unlikable, it's that the company, especially a member of its C-Suite, was actively disrespectful to its audience throughout Stormgate's development.

"The Create an NPC backer perks are still in the works and will be coming later. We can’t wait to bring those characters to life." (8/5/25 Stormgate Launch Day Patch Notes)

No one has responded to Kickstarter questions for four months. Some of whom (58) donated $2000 via the Godly tier to have one of their rewards be naming an NPC; 30 of whom donated $5000 via the Hall of Legends tier to also do so.
Kickstarter Questions + Show Spoiler +
slightly related, but bringing this up in the discord was my last message before being perma banned w/o warning


Tim Morten also described community concerns about Stormgate’s finances as “wildly inaccurate,” without explaining why. Many of those concerns had more financial clarity than the statements coming from FGS.

Then there are the Steam reviews posted under his Fluffy account, and his later defense of them on LinkedIn: ‘If it offends you that I choose to use a tag on Steam, that is your own choice to make.’ Tim M on Fluffy

What bothered me most, though, is that their SEC offering memo claimed StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty as their prior product, despite none of Frost Giant’s leadership having been in leadership roles during WoL’s development. The 0.6 “launch” unfortunately reflected that gap.

And honestly, all of this is just the surface. As discussion continues about Stormgate’s likely inevitable post-mortem, I think FGS’s rhetoric, their community engagement choices, and the insulated environments around the game are going to stand out as major weaknesses; They were full of miscommunications and reinforced by a handful of very aggressive defenders in curated spaces.

Yes, as one of the folks sticking around to dunk on a game, I think that's totally justified.
They pulled some fancy tricks like this: https://www.reddit.com/r/Stormgate/comments/1n6quy3/comment/nc35syj/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button

I don't like it. I don't want it to become an industry standard like day one DLCs or P2W elements in B2P games did.
If this becomes the norm, my gameplay experience will become severely worse.

What am I supposed to do? I already reported it on Steam for ToS violations, it's still there.

At least, I can highlight their unethical behavior and damage their reputation a bit.
If I don't do anything, that means I am a part of the problem, IMO.

Something weird is happening in Stormgateland.

[image loading]


There's no patch, no update, nobody is saying anything on Reddit or on the Discord. Yet suddenly the CCU jumps from 20 to 140 in an instant, and stays there.

Could just be some weird bug happening on the servers, or maybe Gobsmack is testing something.

Yeah, I also paid $200 for the Kickstarter campaign and bought whatever additional stuff they released on Steam that wasn't included in that pack. I have some amount of disposable income and I wanted to support what I thought was the most promising upcoming RTS at the time. I don't see the money I spent like that as "losses" lol. It might be hard to understand for someone who is so obsessed about a game they hate thay they would create a brand new account on a forum just for the purpose of shitting on that game (in addition to all the shitting on they do in every other platform) and can't let go despite being convinced the game is a failure months (or years?) ago. Maybe just find a game you like and engage with the community of that game instead? That should make you happier.

It's funny because you and your pals methods of moderation actively made people into haters.

Our methods have been pretty lenient. I don't think we turned anyone into "haters" lol. Those who turned into haters do like to constantly lie about how they are being oppressed though.

You did and your methods were called out in every forum where you couldn't silence them like here and on steam.

I am not sure if there is even an active mod on Steam. As everyone in this thread and elsewhere, you fail to show any examples of us "silencing" critics. Critics seem to be pretty loud to me.

That's the point. Since you're not a mod on steam you can't silence criticism and people calling out your behaviour there.

It would be easier to show examples but since you delete the posts and ban people that's a bit silly of you to say. There's screenshots lurking around if you care to look and also people talking about you on youtube because your behaviour is deplorable.

I am not a mod on Steam by choice. Steam forums are a bit too much even for me. Steam fprums aren't moderated because mods are not active, not because Valve is preventing us from silencing criticis or something lol.

Show me those screenshots. Or better yet, tell me your discord or reddit name and let's see which of your posts/comments got removed and why you were banned (if you were banned).
