Looked to me like Birdo genuinely had a brain fart, as opposed to any malice. He edited it immediately when it was pointed out to him.
It wasn't a brain fart, he just thought it was funny to "subtly" refer to a big fucking spoiler about a certain character.

Whether it was malicious or not doesn't matter, he deserves that ban and I hope it stays as a one month ban.

Meh if Sony was interested in keeping them interested, they would have released it on time instead of delaying it because physical sales might be affected.

You cant not pay your contractors because of this and expect this them to be happy.

This is a situation that could have been avoided, if they had worked something out instead of announcing the delay and then avoiding all the contractors.

I propose a spoiler thread to be made for major releases where users can discuss the leaks/story/gameplay without inadvertently spoiling it for others. IIRC this used to be done before.

There kind of is something like that for the game. The issue is that even with a spoiler thread people will still post spoilers in other places to ruin the experience of people looking forward to the game. The recent bans prove that theory.

All of this has nothing to do with my point bro. Because all of that doesn’t make it right that someone goes and spoil it on everyone intentionally. That’s childish.

Not me, there are a million things I‘m willing to get banned for. Shitty Writing on the Last of Us is not one of them.

Fuck terrible games with even more pretentious writing.

Stop bringing your console war tripe into this thread.

Ignore him.

What a pathetic and selfish display of arrogance to try and downplay this. Lets see how he will react if Halo or Gears get spoiled weeks ahead, even if their stories are not as important ad TLOU2.

This petty and childish "revenge" better not happen, the precedent is being set now.

And same as above for the console war tripe in here.

Im not celebrating his ban, and I didn’t report him (I literally can’t report anyone, I lost that function on my account over a year ago) but it wasn’t a brainfart. He even said “joking aside” after posting the spoiler as a “joke” in a different game’s thread. I read the spoiler as well, as it was posted. Glad he edited it but still kinda shitty

Also, I can’t believe SG was PM’ing people the spoiler. Why?

not a bad idea, but in this case there have been at least two threads about TLOU2 leaks already established from the get-go so there really isn’t an excuse for people to keep spilling them everywhere else

This shit is getting ridiculous, people should be able to enter threads that aren't spoiler threads without getting spoilers for a game they're looking forward to . I realize this should go without saying or needing a specific post and it's great people are getting banned for it, but that happens after the fact and the damage is already done for anyone that saw it. Also that way nobody can make the BS claim "Oh I didn't know"

Its so sad people doing this in bad faith, even via PM.

Just had a post deleted for "self promotion" uh... what did I self promote?

It was the post you quoted, not you personally. Just the blanket message intended for the quoted post, and took out both in one shot.

No negative action was taken against your account. Sorry about that.

I've created a bareboned sticky in the main gaming forums. The stats tells us stickies aren't read that much but we'll leave it up temporarily nevertheless. We would expect most users to already be aware of spoiler/leak courtesy - and not that of youtube comments or twitter threads.

Happy the leaking BS is being cracked down on and quickly and happy I’ve thus far avoided spoilers as TLOU2 is my most anticipated game in a long while. Guess I’ll be careful of what threads I click and not reading any PMs for a while. I doubt the trolling will stop for a while as anytime something riles up either the SJWs or the anti-SJWs the worst among them try to find ways to make the other side miserable.

The title you made for the thread is very clear and hopefully gets the message across even if people don’t read the thread. Thanks for making it!

We also have people showing up in the TLOU 2 spoiler thread that haven't been here since 2017 stirring up shit. FYI.

SMH. Like I said, the worst of the morons on both sides try to run things for others these days. Bunch of pathetic man children all around.

I have zero tolerance for spoilers and EviLore EviLore knows how much i hate spoilers in general.

My point was that KageyK was trying to downplay and dismiss the seriousness of the spoilers because it wasn't an Xbox exclusive but it it were, he would react differently.

Just making this clear, members on GAF know how careful I personally am with spoilers.
