Oh Giuseppe..never change ;)

I'm going to say again, Twinfinite, stop making a point of the backer funding numbers every time you post an article on the game.
You only do so to strike up an argument, because your site isn't exactly highly visited. You thrive off of N4G negativity.

[Abriael]

No. Also no.

If you don't mind, I'll decide what is newsworthy in my own articles. And if you mind, that's your problem, not mine.

Abriael maybe one day you'll learn to be a professional and stop arguing with people. You can decide to do what you want. The commenters can also say whatever they want, so just move on.

@yomfweee:
1: Telling someone how things are is not "arguing." It's simply providing information that is set in stone.
2: Anyone can certainly express their own opinion, but there is a rather large difference between expressing an opinion and demanding to dictate what someone else does.

[MadLad]

Fine; I'll rephrase.

Abriael, I recommend refraining from listing the backer amount in the articles, because it tends to create needless negativity within the comments section and, if that's part of the purpose of doing so, I find it fairly unprofessional.

[Abriael]

@TheRealTedCruz: thanks for the feedback, but I consider the crowdfunding total very newsworthy for a crowdfunded game, not limited to Star Citizen, hence I'll have to refuse and continue writing my own articles how I consider appropriate according to my professional judgment and in observance of the editorial line set by my employer.

I'll add that If people consider fans of a game being willing and happy to monetarily support the continued development of the game *they want* as a reason for negativity, then there's something wrong with them, not with the article.

[yomfweeee]

He thinks it isn't newsworthy, you think it isn't newsworthy. That's an argument.

Now you're arguing with me. You're do it all the time. You try to stir up crap. Just as he is claiming your articles due. You've always done it.

[Abriael]

@yomfweeee: I guess it's nice to be able to say whatever you want against someone and then tell them that they should not dare respond.

Well. Tough luck. That's not how conversation works. 😏

Jesus not seen so many comments marked Inappropriate (with so few comments) in the years I have been coming here lol.

As I said before I have not been too critical of this game (and I am looking forward to Squadron 42), but the road map to a road map was a bit, well. Still it does look nice and at least they are showing something/making progress, unlike a fair few other crowd funded games.

The backers are here, my comment was marked inappropriate to, and absolutely no reason, shows how much they feeling the pain

[Angelin]

Is it out yet? 😄

M8 I'll be drawing my pension before this gets a proper release
