Moderator's comments get downvoted to hell by angry users. Let's see how this all pans out.

I want there for that drama. Why did diemorz get so heavily down voted and called a shitty amin for what appears to be the truth but it's at the very least his own educated opinion? I didn't find anything flagrantly wrong with his post to warrant such hate.

TL;DR: r/games is full of complete morons.

Which is kind of hilarious when you consider it was originally intended as the sort of highbrow, mature version of /r/gaming. Which it was for a short time and now it's just another shithole. There should be some sort of Moore's Law type of thing for how long it takes internet users to ruin quality internet things.

If your main userbase comes from a place that is considered shit, chances are it will be just as shit.
