I removed my last blog entry voluntarily a little while ago after having left it up for a couple of days, mostly because it felt a lot like I was only venting, and this isn't really the place for the kind of venting I do. For the Achievement Whores out there, I just don't get it. For the rest of you, I just don't get it. I hate that it's come to the point where Microsoft has to step in with something as messy as they have with this new gamerscore reset nonsense, and I still don't understand exactly who it affects as far as Achievement Whores go, but at least they're they see a problem with cheaters (Achievement Whoring or not) and are willing to take a step. It's a bit like swatting a fly with a grenade launcher, but I'm not Microsoft so I wouldn't know how or if I'd handle it better.

Now if they can crack down on racism, anti-Semitism, griefing, sexual harassment, threats of harm, threats of violent sexual acts, and balancing issues I might actually consider going gold myself. Until I feel less like I'm walking into a teenaged minefield I'll continue to play solo jugador (my babelfish Spanish 8)) and hope these things continue to at least be openly acknowledged.
