As a long standing proponent of making your voice be heard (just look at this site), I do like that people are up in arms about the issues with the recent story we posted concerning why the Playstation 3 does not have cross-game chat right now. Some people have deciphered the code that Super_Secret, the inside man that broke this and other rumors, posted later in in the same thread that sparked our story (we will publish our own update shortly).

Some have even gone onto the EA Forums (EA are the ones accused of being the publishers that are blocking these features) and posted some rather passionate posts.

While we believe that the gamers voices should be heard, and we do encourage those that are truly seeking answers to continue doing so, I have also seen some of the sickest sort of spam (in the way of scat pictures and those that could make someone want to vomit, and utter nonsense) being posted along with personal attacks. I know I sometimes let my mouth get ahead of me, as well, but this sort of thing is not necessary and will NOT be supported by this site, and I hope this site won’t be the only one that denounces this kind of posting.

Hell, we don’t even have any official confirmation that it was EA (I was suspicious of Valve since they have had a less than favorable opinion on the system).

So here is the official word on this: if you are a passionate gamer that is not posting these sick, disgusting pictures and are going to be mature about being outraged, then we do support your cause.

However, the ones that resort to these uncalled for tactics insult the moniker of “gamer” and do NOT represent this site, any form of fanboy, or any gamer at all. These are unnecessary and slimy tactics that just makes people think that you are insane. Please grow up! It is not funny in the slightest, and made me personally go somewhere else to get info on the recent outrage.

Finally, I implore people to at least calm down until we get more information. Knowledge is the essential weapon, and while answers need to be forced out, let’s keep the pitchforks in the sheaths and our matches in our pockets, at least until we hear something definitive come out of EA or Sony about this (and yes, this HAS suddenly blown up).
