How do we stop platform wars?
>>339031764
By not talking about it. By ignoring who starts it, and by not making threads that incite shitposting like this.
>>339031764
You don't.

By giving the console cancer a seperate board
Sony were absolutely ruthless with shitposting everyone
If Microsoft is confirmed to get the upper hand, expect revenge shitposting (only directed at Sony)
After that, lets just hope everyone gets fatigued enough to just stop
>>339031764
Unify the platforms.
There is not war when there is only one side.
You can't just embrace it. It will be much easier that way.
by giving the PC cancer a separate board
>>339032098
I wonder if Xbox and PC fans will start unifying
>>339031764
No first party development, along with modular systems or an all in one box.
Never going to happen, but hey you can dream for it to stop till the cows come home OP.
Stop trying to be superior and just enjoy vidya.
It's legitimately that simple. Cut out the superiority complex, and just enjoy vidya. Stop getting mad at people for liking things you don't like, stop trying to be the center of the universe, and just enjoy the vidya.
>>339032056
The board if for games, not platforms. The fuck are you talking about?
>>339031764
Stop buying pre-built under powered proprietary hardware that some one with a lot of money shoehorns into the development of games.
next time someone makes you angry with a post, don't feel as if you need to defend yourself then or, worse, later in a new thread
Console wars are childish anyway
>>339032223
We can enjoy vidiya all we want, it won't stop the entire PC/Xbox fanbase nose diving in any Sony/Nintendo related game thread to shit it up.
The best solution is separating console and PC gaming, it'll dissolve so much shitposting.
>>339031764
once the xbox 1.5 and ps4k come out
theyll be a grand each
and most of the people who could only afford one console and spent their time justifying their purchase
wont be able to afford either console
because theyll be like a grand each ($400 for new xbox, $599 for oculous)
its retarded
but the shit posting will stop
or at least change
i imagine if the nx comes out without vr and cheaper and still powerful a lot of people will swap over since they arent getting a downgraded experience or missing out on anything
so it might just be a nintendo circle jerk for a while
it totally depends on if microsoft and sony botch this e3 like a lot of people expect
if they do its bye bye console wars
but also bye bye gaming industry since that was the core platform
>>339032208
Useless. Platform wars will be replaced by developer wars, with people fighting over who's the better developer on the single platform.
By realizing that no one posting in console war threads is over 18, and you're spending your free time arguing with a bunch of teenagers.
>>339032394
Putting blame on specific fans of a brand is part of the problem. The more you label and ostracize people for liking "Sony" or "Microsoft" or "Nintendo" or "PC" the more likely people of that group are to lash out.
Just play vidya. Ignore obvious bait, the reason console wars have become such a plague is because everyone fucking replies to it. Just ignore it.
What happened to "don't feed the trolls"?
>>339031764
by converting peasants to the master race
>>339032559
This shit is absolute cancer and needs to stop.
>>339031764
Companies like Sony and Microsoft benefit heavily from autistic "console war" shit because it dupes their moronic userbase into building up a bizarrely strong sense of brand loyalty from desperately trying to defend what's basically a children's toy in the form of an underpowered computer that barely manages to cut even on sales due to manufacturing costs
>>339032440
What if we monopolize all video games with apple buying it all out.
>>339032395Video games won't die unless above happens which is infinitely unlikely.
>>339032531
It's easier to ignore if is one in every 10 or so posts and shitposts were exclusive to designated war threads but it's not the case, people are vigorously invading game threads now and its getting worse everyday.
I agree that placing blame isn't the solution even though a disproportionate amount of shitposting within those game threads comes from PC users simply because they are the majority, but PC and Console gaming needs to be separated as soon as possible.
It's the best solution.
We go back in time and kill the Hedgehog.
Don't worry. We'll be doing him a favor.
>>339031764
Competition drives the industry.
>>339032804
Shitposting drives me nuts
>>339032804
It does, but platform wars don't. It's just kids and shitposters trying to shit on others for no fucking reason.
>>339033330
Just because we perpetuate the war doesn't mean fanboy-ism wouldn't exist without it.
If we don't shit on games, nobody will.
>>339033330
Would it be better if the companies went back to the sega vs. nintendo days and did dumb slander campaigns spanning all forms of media.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k7nsBoqJ6s8They would be so fucking cringy or cancerous that people over 12 will take them legitimately seriously, but god damn it for a few seconds it would be okay.
>>339033718
I'd be ok with mods enforcing rules for once and allowing us to have actual vidya discussions and not shitposters derailing every single thread.
Theres a thread like this everyday now
Kill ign.
>>339032559
Remove PCucks
Ban the fucking redditors
>>339031764
By banishing the PCuck cancer.
They're a nessesary evil.
I dont get why people get their feelings hurt over it.
Get a job and buy all the platforms you want.
>>339035136
>necessary
Why? No one gains anything from it. It's just shitposting.
>>339035206
It feeds competition between companies.
>>339035290
I still don't see how that's a good thing. Do you really think that a company gives a fuck about shitposters on /v/, youtube or any other place fighting like children arguing about which toy is better. It doesn't benefit them in any possible way. It's just children being stupid fucks arguing about nothing.
There are only two real solutions:
1. Mods have to crack down and actually do their fucking job for once
2. Ignore them. These threads aren't helping, it just gets people to say shit like "we need to make a containment board for X fanbase" which is part of the problem.
>>339031764
Only mods can do this, but here they are platform wars/flame friendly. Some say it's good because muh freedom of speech but price for that is really high. On every other gaming forum you would be banned for calling someone retard, here is common thing.
>>339031764
by making an open platform
unfortunately this will never happen because capitalism
They are eternal.
>>339036506
>>339031764
By killing anyone who is willing to fight and everyone who might one day be.
>>339036576
Majority of shitposters are PCucks, starting there would be good.
>>339036746
You sure are helping stop those consolewars
>>339031764
You don't. War never changes.
>>339036776
Awwwwww... Did I hurt your feewings pee cee master race? Go sign a petition or something
>>339036746
Wrong, the majority of the shitposting comes from Sonyggers. It's really embarrassingly obvious too.
>>339036828
Nice history revision. Sonybros shitpost barely at all and just want to discuss games, pretty much every time they "shitpost" it's PCucks obviously falseflagging and then responding to themselves.
>>339036746
>>339036828
>>339036576
No way in hell the 2600 days were "The Golden Years". That guy is fucking insane.
>>339031764
You can't, even if we have only one gaming platform, retards will fights each others with IPs, or something else. They will always find something to bitch about.
>>339032056
>Calls console players cancer for starting flame wars
>Starts flame war by calling console gamers cancer
I WAS ONLY PRETENDING TO BE RETARDED
>>339036903
Keep in mind that was written in 1989.
>>339036906
Why did you ignore all the people who started off with "ban PCucks"?
>>339037040
I only read the top of the thread.
>>339032056
>By giving the console cancer a separate board
ok
>>339037040
Because they were obvious PCuck false flags
>>339031764
doesn't matter when Trump is elected video games will be outlawed anyways
>>339037213
>Living in the US
>>339031764
You can't, there is Marvel vs DC super hero movie wars for fucks sake, people love to argue about retarded "sides"
>>339031764
Stop them by stop being jelly
We don't . We don't live in the soviet union you stupid commie. Competition drives innovation.
>>339039610
see
>>339033330
>>339035440
Hwo the fuck does shitposting drives innovation, you fucking faggot?
we actually uphold the 18+ rule of 4chan. get the nsa involved.
>>339031764
By getting rid of console exclusivity.
>>339031764
they are called console wars and doesnt exist
>>339040290
Never knew that PC was a console.
>>339037040
Because he's a sonycuck
>>339032098
I'm sure eventually MS might be able to buy out Sony and Nintendo, but that would take a looong time.
By not participating.
Seriously when you see shit like that just respond, fucking hide it instead of telling people how they are wrong. Don't reply at all, not even with fucking reaction pics
>>339031764
We don't. Companies competing for shekels is always good for the consumers.
Companies getting fucked because it couldn't compete deserves destruction and will eventually get replaced with something better.
If PS3 didn't get BTFO by 360 so hard, PS4 wouldn't be what it is right now--they made it not so hard to develop for and quit it with that Cell memery (aka blast processing 2.0). If Xbone didn't get rekt by PS4, then there wouldn't be a Scorpion--M$ would be content with their underpowered all-in-one toaster. Wii U, they're beyond salvation and was doomed to die from the beginning; and so is NX--Nintendo just doesn't seem to learn that underpowered gimmick toasters doesn't cut it, and their demise will soon follow after their toaster's upcoming failure.
Believe it or not, it doesn't matter who wins or loses the console wars, because the consumer will always win.
