RetroBlox : Another new Play-Everything "Retro" Console

[turboswimbz]

Elmer should just change the title of thread to

All in one Retro TURDS   (This Ugly Retro Dumb Sh*t)

AKA: A discussion on how stupid people pay for emulation boxes that are never released.

Newest Retroblox reveal?

Pretty sure this has nothing to do with Retroblox. Should probably have its own dedicated thread to discuss

It has everything to do with Retroblox.

It would be the same as posting PS4 news in the Switch thread

I would counter that both of those exist.

I am just having fun...

I just assumed this thread was about ROBLOX.  Ya'll disappoint.

The **ONLY** reason I know what the f*ck you are referring to is because I have 6 year olds.

DAMMIT.

Seems like this might not be dead?

They're shit at building and maintaining interest.  Don't put out a bunch of slick (but empty) hype, then miss multiple self-imposed deadlines for updates and reveals while you sit around telling everyone how busy you are with "finishing it up" for a year+.

I forgot about ROBLOX completely...

Yeah, if only Polymega was as good at building and marketing game consoles as PCEFX Forum Moderator Necromancer. Tsk.

Cut the crap and don't detract from what's going in this thread on by going offtopic.

That's the thing: I'm not building or marketing anything but they are.

Maybe it's better to try but fail (because at least you tried), but that doesn't change the fact that you've failed.

The only failure I see is a forum mod, who should be impartial and unbiased, making an authoritative-sounding accusation (including profanity) in an attempt to discredit a project which they admittedly do not have the experience or background to discredit. I've heard rumors that the mods here have really gotten bad but to see it myself is a different story. At least on Atari-Age the hater brigade are just regular members and the mods largely stay out of it.

Full disclosure, I lead the Polymega team and have been a PCEFX member here since before the project started (and in PCEFX infancy on a separate account).

Why?

Why?

Because when the referee starts throwing punches, you know the fight is fixed. So whats the point of trying to have a fair discussion in the first place? The actions of those in charge represent and warrant the credibility of the forum as a whole, and as someone who has used this forum as a source of good information and community for collecting over the years, its pretty sad to see this type of mud-slinging from someone in a position of power and authority. So I've called it out where normally I would pay such accusations no mind.

Necro is just another PCE fan who has mod clearance.  He is not the FBI or a referee.  And honestly, it is hard to argue with what he said, I also completely forgot about your project...

Folks forgetting about the project until we were ready for pre-order was by design. It's called strategy and avoidance of marketing fatigue. Thing is, you would only get that if you actually understood the correct way to build and maintain interest, which is the opposite of what we've been accused of here. I'm not familiar with each mods individual backgrounds, but regardless, being a mod carries some clout with it, and I for one believe that those in elevated positions should remain impartial and ensure that fair discussions can be had.
