As only a lurker here this is disheartening to see. Best wishes.

I feel bad because I rarely comment on Reddit. It makes me very sad to see such a great community fall into such chaos, that resulted in a mod receiving death threats. No one deserves that over Internet sillyness.

[–]TheFlashFrame 23ポイント24ポイント  (9子コメント)

What the fuck even caused that? I'm subscribed here but rarely visit to be honest. Last I heard someone started streaming gameplay footage and everyone hated it. I didn't watch it. That's all I heard.

[–]succubusfutjab 21ポイント22ポイント  (7子コメント)

Every subreddit centered around a big game goes through this every time. MGSV, FO4, etc. It's just the common war between new fanboys and new haters, with some meta meta meta shit posting thrown in for good measure.

[–]nolan1971 9ポイント10ポイント  (4子コメント)

All these game and gaming forums seem toxic, to be honest. It's a real problem.

[–]c0ldsh0w3r 29ポイント30ポイント  (0子コメント)

Well if you give a bunch of people with very few social skills a medium to say whatever they want with immunity, well, some people will be gross.

Tumblr, video games, it doesn't really matter what the topic is, there will always be some dork that can't hold in his seething rage over something so miniscule.

I think it's because they live really unfulfilled lives. And the only thing they can feel on a regular basis is anger. Plus, the angrier they get about something, obviously it is a direct reflection of how much they loved it.

[–]Moulesmariner 7ポイント8ポイント  (0子コメント)

Another lurker here, this sort of thing is always disappointing given the effort involved. Thanks for your past efforts.....

[–]lawriedoesstuff 3ポイント4ポイント  (0子コメント)

Same, not once have I commented, but I'm still just as excited for the game, and think the death threats are ridiculous and childish...

[–]jaundicemanatee 775ポイント776ポイント  (44子コメント)

But having mine and my family's life threatened the other day and now accused of using a different account to defend myself and give myself gold?

Threatening death, I can understand... but accusing you of USING ALTS? THE GALL!

Really though, take care of yourself. People are crazy. Hope you enjoy the game when it comes out, too.

[–]dissan 441ポイント442ポイント  (39子コメント)

It's a fucking videogame. I hope people will wake up one day and realise this...

I see you have not yet been drained of all faith in humanity by frequenting this place.

[–]DawnBlue 93ポイント94ポイント  (9子コメント)

frequenting this place.

I'd argue you have to avoid 99% of the internet if you want to keep that faith.

Oh and also avoid any real life news and many places in the real world too.

Actually, just climb in a dark box and lock yourself in it. It's hard to go to a place where humanity is present without seeing them fucking up something :p

[–]BatmanDavey1986 51ポイント52ポイント  (4子コメント)

The internet is a cesspool. Honestly humans are pretty terrible in general. Lets be honest.

[–]ballotechnic 9ポイント10ポイント  (1子コメント)

I always think of the monologue Agent Smith gives Neo about people being a virus. I like to console myself with the notion that if I hear or see one person doing something good, there are many more doing the same.

[–]BatmanDavey1986 8ポイント9ポイント  (0子コメント)

There are tons of awesome people. The assholes are so loud we can't hear them though.

[–]DawnBlue 19ポイント20ポイント  (0子コメント)

The reason real life doesn't look so bad is because people tend to stay with their own kind of people...

...and those people they stay with may very well be worse than Hitler in someone else's mind, depending on what kind of a person we are talking about.

Here on this sub we have all kinds of people who we can only definitely say to be similar in one way - some sort of interest in No Man's Sky. (Although I wouldn't be surprised if someone that joined recently is here for the drama lol)

Because of that, we might have the kinds of opposites like nazis and jews that don't really work well when put into a room together.

[–]ArchMichael7 1ポイント2ポイント  (0子コメント)

Yeah, the internet isn't the issue - people are the issue. The internet just gives us a window into them. We've ALWAYS been like this.

[–]Dwight1833 22ポイント23ポイント  (6子コメント)

Death Threats, that is the problem with the anonymity of the internet, even making the threat, is a crime for which one could spend years in prison.

[–]Aegethir 2ポイント3ポイント  (0子コメント)

Well, Sean Murray got death threats over the delay in launching the game, so what else is there to say? People never wake up, more and more fall into slumber.

[–]IAmTheCheese007 315ポイント316ポイント  (22子コメント)

The people who treated you so poorly should be ashamed of themselves. We've all been awaiting this game for what feels like an eternity, but to put other people down, threaten them, and to act like irate toddlers over something like this is ridiculous. Grow up people, it's just a game.

[–]natrlselection 16ポイント17ポイント  (11子コメント)

Can someone explain what happened? I subscribed to this sub about a month ago, and I've only been catching bits and pieces of the drama... what the hell is going on?

[–]Davelch 32ポイント33ポイント  (8子コメント)

Someone played a leaked copy of the game and kind of reviewed it and basically said the game has flaws. People freaked out that their game wasn't perfect and here we are.

[–]natrlselection 6ポイント7ポイント  (7子コメント)

I saw that, but death threats to the mods? Over what?

[–]babybigger 32ポイント33ポイント  (5子コメント)

Apparently, some hate was due to the mods here trying to ban any leaks of the game a little while ago.

But also the mods stickied a ridiculous Conspiracy "Evidence" thread made up by a few people in the discord channel. The mods presented the thread as true or fact (when it was really laughable) and kept it as the top sticky in the subreddit for a few days.

This hurt the subreddit as new people came in and read the sticky and believed it, causing a increased debate, confusion and arguing in the subreddit. People still in this subreddit believe that a leaker was playing an early demo version, when this has been completely discredited. Mainly because the mods here put up a stickied thread with a title saying it was a demo version. It was really bad moderation. Completely amateur, but probably just a lapse of judgement.

But at the end of the day, it's not such a big deal, and certainly no reason to hate on anyone. It seems like one or two mods did this by themselves.

[–]natrlselection 3ポイント4ポイント  (0子コメント)

Jeez, people take shit to seriously. Thanks for explaining that.

Honestly, this game looks awesome and i cant wait to play it. As long as the reviews are halfway decent once it launches (which barring some major flaws im sure it will be) Im gonna buy it. People need to calm the fuck down. I mean, my god... death threats? Seriously?

[–]Davelch 2ポイント3ポイント  (0子コメント)

Oh I don't know I just heard bout that too

[–]Farcespam 11ポイント12ポイント  (1子コメント)

Cool gamers thinking death threats are rational. People explaining the reasons why not to play and cancelling pre-orders.

Basically the same stuff happens for every game in recent years.

Psycho's be crazy as Isis. Haters hate. Players play.

That's a shame, the train is so close to our destination!

Sorry to hear that you've had a tough time, these past few days have been lunacy, lots of ups and downs. I'll be very glad when this all blows over.

Maybe one day I'll see you in space soldier, thanks for your service.

Take care, and good luck in your regular life.

[–]JRockPSU 74ポイント75ポイント  (7子コメント)

At least /r/fallout had the decency to wait until the game actually came out for all of it's members to start shitting all over the game.

[–]piratefaellie 15ポイント16ポイント  (1子コメント)

Only barely though, I remember all the drama over the map size when the game first leaked haha.

I've never distanced myself from a sub as hard as I distanced myself from /r/Fallout. God Damm that place became a battlefield.

At least then the people who disagree can just ignore them while they enjoy the game.

[–]English_American 112ポイント113ポイント  (1子コメント)

As a mod for another sub that's gone through similar (along with a fellow mod that ended up stepping down because of it) I commend your action.

It sucks volunteering your time and getting shat on for it. People think if it's not going 100% the way they want it to, it's shit. That's just reddits hivemind for you.

Best of luck! :)

[–]Hello_Hurricane 111ポイント112ポイント  (6子コメント)

Death threats. Fucking death threats. Over a VIDEO GAME.

I truly cannot fathom how completely out of touch with reality one must be to, not only be that upset about a game but also think that this is in any way an acceptable way to behave

I'm willing to bet the people who threaten people and their families over a video game are the same worthless little scum fucks who SWAT people.

Thanks for holding down the fort /u/8_Bit_Armada !

I'm out of the loop here why are people mad at him and who is he?

[–]Kitsyfluff 8ポイント9ポイント  (0子コメント)

When people are mad and their target is unreachable, they take it out on the closest they can get.

In this case, that would be moderators for trying to quell the anger. Just shitty people being shitty to people just trying to call things down.

[–]ThaNorth 7ポイント8ポイント  (0子コメント)

Internet people who have no friends or social life what so ever get unreasonably upset over little things.

Good-bye friend and safe travels! See you in the stars! (Ya know at the big party on the Mothership in the Center... of the "tiny house")

[–]RektSquared 11ポイント12ポイント  (0子コメント)

This subreddit is obsessed with two things, the drama it has created and what it thinks about the drama it has created. This has spawned countless essays filled with psuedoanalysis and assumptions and leaves the sane, curious gamer wondering what on earth has gone wrong. I don't blame you for leaving and I hope this post is the wake up call this 'community' needs, I say it like that because none of us know each other at all yet we all have a passion for one thing that is now so close, the game. So let's just discuss the game, it's flaws and it's positives objectively, okay?

[–]Guzaboo 29ポイント30ポイント  (3子コメント)

See you in the universe!

Don't tell anyone, but...you were my favorite mod

[–]TraderCaptain 25ポイント26ポイント  (0子コメント)

We're definitely sad to see you go Armada. You were always fun to discuss things with and you have a great sense of humor. I agree, the sub isn't what it used to be and I think you may be followed by many more of us who just don't find any joy in it anymore.

To you and your family, I wish you the best of luck and I hope your travels in the universe are filled with excitement and fun.

Live long and prosper.

[–]solardeity 4ポイント5ポイント  (0子コメント)

I'm very sorry that all happened to you. Threats have no place in any civil discussion, and the people responsible should be banned at the very least.

Well, best of luck!

[–]Urano_Metria 191ポイント192ポイント  (24子コメント)

As a former moderator of a subreddit with 220,000 subscribers at the time I left, I can tell you from firsthand experience what happened here.

It's because you got personally and emotionally involved with the direction of the subreddit. Moderators are ONLY to act as janitors and caretakers for a community, and not to push their own agenda and narrative on the community.

The death threats and vile behavior are obviously inexcusable, but you have to understand that online, people become absolutely disgusted and enraged when someone gets in the way of what they're trying to talk about.

When a moderator takes personal action on an issue like this, they're perceived from the community at large as a degenerate neckbeard who has become drunk on power because they're useless in real life. This is where the term "nazi mod" comes from. This is absolutely not my opinion of you, I'm just describing the phenomenon.

In order for this subreddit to calm down over the coming couple of weeks, I think the moderation team desperately needs to take a more hands off approach. At least until after release, stop enforcing self-made rules, go on autopilot, and only moderate based on reddit site-wide rules.

I know from personal experience that the more hands on the mods get, the more vitriolic and defensive the community will become about their "free speech" being encroached on.

Personally, you've worked hard on this community, and I don't think that you need to leave forever. I think you should just hold out until after release for when this place calms down after release and only the true fans stick around. It will be a lot more chill by that time, and it will be an enjoyable place to moderate for. Instead of resigning, just stop showing up until then.

Thanks for what you've done for /r/NoMansSkyTheGame.

[–]webbedgiant 42ポイント43ポイント  (1子コメント)

This needs to be at the top, this is exactly right. While the behavior was inexcusable from the community, the mods also slipped up in some major ways that they had plenty of chances to avoid if I'm being honest.

Prime example: Making a "goodbye" drama post when it would be best to just quietly step out for a while in my opinion.

[–]DoctorLovejuice 7ポイント8ポイント  (0子コメント)

It may look like a goodbye-drama post to some, but to others it's different.

To some of us, we've been internet friends for almost three years, when the sub had less than 3,000 users.

It's different depending who you are, but I know what you're saying.

Alongside that, people have been demanding the mods leave, so I think making a post declaring you are leaving will at least satisfy some of those people as well.

[–]ColeSloth 33ポイント34ポイント  (4子コメント)

Advice she was also given days ago, but failed to heed. All of the hate spawned against the mods was due to them trying to act as gatekeepers to information and promoting their views/votes above the rest of the community.

[–]Psyclone_Joker 11ポイント12ポイント  (1子コメント)

Noticed you deleted everything from your account the other day. Guess this explains that mystery. Good luck out there.

Also any word on when these guys are getting new mods? They really seem like they need a bunch more, especially now since you're leaving.

[–]DoctorLovejuice 1ポイント2ポイント  (0子コメント)

The majority of the community currently want the mods to do less, so it's not necessary to get more, or new ones.

[–]bobyevil 65ポイント66ポイント  (6子コメント)

The fact that this kind of message and exit is necessary on a sub about a Video game... Not cancer... Not real world problems... But a game.. Makes me ashamed if what gamers have become.. To those who threaten people over this kind of nonesense : fuck you

    [–]Lifer31 23ポイント24ポイント  (0子コメント)

    Sorry to see you leave and excellent job handling all the drama that occurred. It definitely makes me sad that people would resort to such language and feelings over a video game. I hope whatever is next for you is less dramatic and more rewarding.

    [–]Ozaga 29ポイント30ポイント  (5子コメント)

    To be driven from the community you created... I can not express my sadness at how low we have become...

    I know it's tough but when a game such as this one doesn't meet everyone's expectations its gaming sub turns into a shitshow once reviews pour out. Then after a couple of weeks the trolls, whiners, and negativity will fizzle out and then fans of the game will only remain.

    The sub will be a nice place in September

    [–]digitgirl 22ポイント23ポイント  (0子コメント)

    Damn... You'll be missed. Well, We at No Man's Cast did thank all of you mods for being there for us. This subreddit is how we even started out the podcast!

    [–]YukiSorrelwood 3ポイント4ポイント  (0子コメント)

    I dont blame you, this sub has gone to shit. There has been a big shift from a community to a group of people who only care about the game and do not care if they hurt others or spoil anything.

    Honestly, why the hell are you all sitting here promoting people who have stolen copies of the game? Let alone the fact that they have posted massive spoilers.

    Honestly I have had to stop coming to the sub because of the spoilers.

    I use to sit here and read posts about crazy theories and the deep wishes of people. Use to enjoy the art, from the professional to the 1st grade style artwork. I loved reading all the tiny little details we all pulled from the official trailers and demos....

    Now I have to wade through spoiler after spoiler. So much for a game of wonder, when its all spoiled because of people who stole the game and those who promote them.

    Well, this sucks, but I definitely understand... You did a great job, and some people just want to see the world burn, and keep spreading the hate... I'll leave here the message I "sent" to HG on the non-hate/positive thread (that got so downvoted it disappeared, speaks a lot for the kind of people around here lately):

    You know what they say.

    Some things in life are bad,

    They can really make you mad.

    Other things just make you swear and curse.

    When you're chewing on life's gristle,

    Don't grumble, give a whistle!

    And this'll help things turn out for the best

    And

    Always look on the bright side of life! (7 days!)

    Thanks for all the work you've put in.

    It's tragic, and amusing, to think that after all that has been said on the internet, eventually, it all devolves to threats.

    I hope you enjoy NMS when it comes out; the people in community surrounding it might stand as some dumb testament to the need to be gawked at online, but the game has no clue of our plight. Much like the universe itself, it's completely indifferent to all we've been through thus far.

    Either way, good luck to you! I wish you the best, and don't be a stranger!

    [–]odusanyaka 2ポイント3ポイント  (0子コメント)

    It sucks that its mostly likely people new to this sub that gave you shit. I remember you on this sub for a year and a half now since I have been on here. You always provided good information (based on what Sean and hello games said in the past)

    hope you enjoy the game. This is the only goodbye post I can stand because its you.

    [–]McPwnMuffin 2ポイント3ポイント  (0子コメント)

    Sorry to hear about those threats made against you and your family. There is no excuse for anyone to ever do that and it's an extremely scary thing.

    It's unfortunate that when a sub booms like it did so many bad seeds join. Thanks for all you've done creating a fantastic sub. I joined the sub a little over a year ago and always enjoyed checking in here. I've been following the game since I first heard about it 3 years ago and we're finally almost there.

    I hope you enjoy exploring the galaxy!

    [–]TheVillage1D10T 2ポイント3ポイント  (0子コメント)

    Honestly a bummer man, I've been subbed since its infancy and you seem like a good person with the community's best interest at heart. I still have the art piece that you did the contest for hanging in my gaming room. I guess with all subs that grow, such as this one has, the influx of new can push out the old. I wish you the best.

    I haven't visited in a few weeks (and probably only once a month or so outside of that), and returning to all of this leak related crapola makes me feel like I've come back to a different sub.

    I'm a new member here and I have never met you before, but this kind of stuff really makes me sad. I discovered this game a few weeks ago and the concept already amazed me. I decided to look around at some available gameplay videos and I am hooked. Later, I decided to look up this community to see if there is more to get to know about, but instead I ended up in an ongoing pitfight with stuff like this to see.

    It kind of makes me lose my faith in humanity to see people go crazy like this when certain expectations aren't met. To this people I want to say, your emotional reaction has zero effect on the circumstances. They are out of your reach and will be forever.

    This is what you should know as well, 8 bit. I'm not asking to reconsider, but know that their words and input have zero measurable effect and should have zero measurable effect. Your message here however makes it look like their emotional response is having an effect. Is this the result you want to leave here?

    I can't wait for this game. I also can't wait until this flamethrowing here is over.

    I can just imagine now. "Mod Retires From No Man's Sky Reddit After Receiving Death Threats" - Jason Schreier, Kotaku, 2016.

    If this reaches the headlines again, I feel maybe the best course of action is just to withhold interaction and keep to myself. Shame to those who threaten death. But the true shame this will realistically leave is on all our shoulders.

    People can say whatever they want, but haters are steping way ahead of what they should. Leave that sub and let people that want to enjoy the game and give rational critique of it alone. We don't need that kind of people in a community.

    This is unfortunate to see tonight. I stopped coming back to this community a short while after the Colbert episode, as I knew it would become even more of a circle jerk than it already had become. I knew you guys had to put up with crap, but death threats should never been on the table and those who do that should be ashamed. May you find peace on your home planet.

    I've been a lurker for a long while and only recently started posting in the past 2ish weeks, and I am grateful for the work you have put in to make the community what its become; minus the toxic poison that has made itself known over the past few days.

    To receive death threats over something that you had no obligation to keep working on, other than your own passion for the community/game is very sad indeed. It's awful to see something like this happen.

    Best of luck to you, friend.

    [–]JustNilt 9ポイント10ポイント  (8子コメント)

    Problem with that is you start ignoring threats and eventually the one whackjob who's a little more capable or motivated will come along and follow through. So, no, you can't just ignore them. Those responsible should be named, shamed, and shunned. Tolerating such a thing, even via ignoring it, only allows it to fester.

    Can't fool me, you're just stocking up to play the game. ;)

    I think you all Mods have been doing a fine job, and it's too bad that things have degraded to the point that they have.

    Thanks for everything that you have done, both in the foreground and I'm sure far more behind the scenes than anyone would truly understand.

    Thank you.

    EDIT: I upvoted your post as thanks, even tho I debated which would be more appropriate. (down vote because of the loss, upvote as thanks!)

    I used to get really irritated with people who said gaming communities were more full of immature brats than other places because I didn't believe it was true, but this subreddit has made me wonder if I'm wrong about that.

    I'm sure 90% of this community is good people, but even a couple thousand highly active assholes can make it bad for everyone, and lately I've seen a lot of assholes.

We are a community and the hype I have for this game died and was resurrected by this sub! To me, this sub is the sole reason I am getting this game and I know I'm not alone.

    Probably a good decision. Every time things go wrong some people resort to horrible things like threats of violence... it's dumb. I wouldn't want to support that either.

    For me I expect things will turn around in a week or two. I don't see things really changing - next problem will be the same garbage, but the games release solves a lot of problems imo.

    Anyways, people who want to use violence to resolve non-violent disputes aren't moral. Because respect for personal preferences is what it really means to be moral.

    I'll post what I said on a different discussion but also applies here:

    I think because HG doesn't post or comment here it's easy to forget that it's almost a certainty that they're watching this sub closely. Sometimes folks on the internet think they're just yelling at their TV, uttering noises into the ether. Forgetting that sometimes their target can occasionally hear them and a million distant grumblings turns into an incessant roar.

    Thank you for making me super excited about this game, you and all the other mods. I know you probably won't read this, but the mods here have done wonders with this sub. I'm sorry people are getting psycho, but there are so many people here that are just happy to have a place where someone is talking about this game. All of my friends are tired of hearing me talk about it, but here I can share the excitement with people who are just as excited as me. Everyone will be happy with whatever game they get. The haters will leave eventually.

    Respect. No worries. Your work here is done. I suspect this won't be interpreted correctly, but I don't see much of a point in coming here once the game releases. I'll be unsubscribing in 7 days. It was really only interesting because it was a place where theory and conjecture were the foundation - and that was fun. Post release? With 77,000+ subscribers? Each with an ironcald opinion? Holy shit. Don't want to be anywhere near that. Anyway, you did a great job! And thanks!

    I remember subbing here when there was less than 100 people. It's crazy to see this sub with this many people. I came here to thank you for the amount of time you invested in this so that people like me could waste our time here. I love the direction you and the other mods took the sub. Until recently it remained a creative environment that endorsed new ideas and didn't hate on people for new ideas. I just wish it could be the same as 3 years ago. I wish that the community remained supportive. Hopefully after release this hell hole calms down and once again we can begin sharing ideas and cool shit once again. Thanks for modding. Hope your new project goes well.

    Man, all I can say is I'm sorry. I've been on this subreddit for the better part of the past year and a half, back when it was just a small community with a couple of thousand subscribers discussing a game they were excited about.

    Over the years, seeing this place slowly mutate into such a toxic and downright fanatic place is just so sad. You did not deserve death threats, nobody deserved them, and I'm sorry you had to go under such circumstances.

    I believe this place can serve as a lesson for what happens when a product is hyped up so astronomically.

    I guess I could be depicted as critic of your modding. But I want to say that you don't deserve this primitive & immoral hostility. I feel sad that people resort to this kind of behaviour. I feel threatening people is on a similar level like real violence and people who resort to this just show their own paltriness.
