Since your point of contention with him or her revolves around my point, permit me to offer this as a counter: my original post was made because I believe context and timeliness allow for it.
This thread reported that Microsoft was in talks to extend PUBG exclusivity yesterday. Because Hoo-doo put forward such a pointed disapproval towards Microsoft's purported anti-consumer efforts, I expected that surely he would also voice his stern disapproval here with this news today. (There were several others with similar arguments in the thread, I focus on Hoo-doo because he was particularly vocal and I noticed just by glancing through the 1st page.)
After all, both Battlegrounds and Destiny are two of the hottest IPs in gaming right now and I thought surely the principle of his concerns would extend to this topic, which has been noticeable on the front page, as well. I was and still am saddened that this has not proven to be so.
This is a public forum meant for discussion, and being adults, we know that just because we are on the internet does not mean we can say whatever we like without challenge. I did not resort to name-calling or insults in my original comment and was succinct about my point. If there was a way to tag posters in your posts, I would've done so. I think I've made it clear that I'm willing to engage in a discussion about this topic.
In short: I thought it interesting that a group of posters who commented vocally and very recently on anti-consumer behavior by one publisher have been noticeably absent from this discussion, which also revolves around more obviously anti-consumer behavior.
If that is what considered inciting console wars, then perhaps you could help me understand what exactly console wars are.
