For a forum 6.5x is high (especially one with a crazy and unstable user base) and he was lucky to get that.

For example one of their previous acquisitions was an estimated 2.5x:

One can't immediately conclude that 6.5x too high. The valuation depends on whole heap of factors. What are their margins? Era had 80%, what were the margins of that other site? Next factor is growth: ERA achieved this growth is 4 years, what about the other site? Then comes earnings quality. I assume era earned a majority of their earnings via ads and less from their era clear subs. Being a very ad friendly site means the earnings quality is high. Alongside that, what is the user base and their demographic makeup. How are their risk profiles. Comparing these fundamentals is how companies come up with a valuation. So compared to that site that they acquired at 2.5x, ERA must have had much better fundamentals that deserves a valuation of 6.5x. Even that is too low honestly, like mentioned elsewhere.
 
Totally agree, theres some legit great OT makers and posters with great heads on their shoulders when it comes to discussion. Angie, Loud Ninja, just to name a few. They always have great OT's and pretty great discussion on games. It's up to them to want to come back to talk about games again. But unfortunately the lie Reset and the internet has had in categorizing anyone with free thinking to be right/alt right nazi or whatever they call people put a barrier up that I dont think anyone will get over.

Just posting here you are automatically shunned by resetera regardless if your just a lurker who comments on a new game you are excited about. Thats the most sad part, like there are legit great communities on reset, sales, nintendo communities were great over there. And use to be here until they left to go to reset. I feel this whole debacle was built with great intentions but was spear headed by people with one thing in mind. Insular discussion.

I dont remember there being a TOS that literally said the site was pro left or whatever you want to call it, and that any deviation or antileft view/opinion would be banned snuffed out. The thing that was scary that i saw over there was the witch hunt stuff during cyberpunk and that people like B-Dubs are still admins after literally scouring the internet to find dirt on someone so they could ban them. Then after the ban saying" they were a weasel we didn't see the treachery".
Like I thought I was in some kind of spy movie when I read that. Like you feel super threatened by a person who made a OT about a popular video game, and because of some tweets which have nothing to do with Resetera, your associate it with them having a alternative motive to bring down reset?

Same thing for sales thread. Like how can you support actions like witch hunting someone's personal account on facebook? If you fear that their opinion will undermine in any capacity your so called community, I think you have to ask yourself, why are you so shook on a forum that like twitter isnt a real place?
It's a fake sense of security and is why everyone is at each others thoughts in the world. I think nuking political was the right choice. This place has grown and regardless of what others call this place, its open discussion for anything video games. Hell there's a welcome trans thread here for anyone who wants to connect, come out, and just talk to the community without being judged if you align with a movement.

To me that is way more welcoming in my opinion.
To everyone at resetera, if you have an open mind, and want free discussion gaf is here for you. You will never be perma/banned for having an opinion as long as you are respectful. Which everyone here most of the time is which is why this place is way less stressful, and fun/relaxing to post on.
I seriously feel like Neogaf has been reborn and even though it may never be what it was at it's height, I feel the discussion and overall vibe of the place is the most chill place to be on the internet.

Welcome fellow reset brothers/sisters we welcome you with open arms, lets talk about things we love and become closer as a online community.

Hell lets see if we can do meet ups around the world at a pancake house or something. I never got to do that. I would love to have a stack of pancakes or some eggs with coffee and meet fellow people who love talking games or Motorcycles.(I feel super alone in that category)
I thought Loud Ninja was a paid shill, who works for an advertisement company called Loud Ninja Advertisement and Sony is one of their clients and the user is multiple people….. no?

Let's not forget that Era did become the largest forum for gaming - regardless of the right or wrongs of how it achieved that position. Gamers are naturally going to be drawn to a site that seems to offer the largest amount of members, or the inclusion of industry insiders. A lot of the far left, cancel culture, nasty, misogynistic bullshit wouldn't be immediately evident, and it's easy to ignore that shit if you just want to talk about Smash Bros.

However, it's hard to ignore just what a cess pit that site is now, for anyone who's a member. Cut some of them a bit of slack. Not everybody is guilty of being a purple haired Era screecher.

Hell, I openly admit that I fell for it.

During this crazy GAF to ERA exodus, I was at university and basically, either forums back then was for me to pre-open tabs of topics that interested me while on the bus so that I would have something to read inside the metro tunnels (had no wifi back then underground).

Following to era was basically because there was more topics.

I realized quickly enough though that you had to walk on a thin « acceptable » line over there, but I did not care for the majority of it as I was mostly reading and not active that much.

Shit hit the fan when I was out of university and was more active. I was not participating that much in off-topic so that crazy place had probably spared my account, but when the crazy trans-era checklists of what is acceptable or not leaked into gaming, and more specifically, Cyberpunk, then I said that’s fucking it. Mods were without balls against a group of radicals. No sensible discussions was possible with them, it was insta-bans.

I got banned for saying « soon as you press start for Cyberpunk game, you’re transphobic » sarcastically.

Otherwise I’ve been here since gaming-age back circa 99. With a small hiatus in crazy land 🤣

No clue. I just know the OT's Loud Ninja does are really good. Like I miss also Nibel who wised up over there and got out. Same with Wario64. Regardless im just wanting people who have good work ethic who make OT's for video games to be supported, and welcomed. I'm a playstation guy so loud ninja's OT's were also well done and professionally setup, so when ever there was Playstation news his/her threads were always stickied for me.

It's true. Ever since the politics forum closed the gas chambers have been sitting idle, all of the enslaved GAF Jews are sitting around naked in chains with nowhere to go, and we've had to recall four tank squadrons from advancing on Warsaw.
It’s funny because all it attracted was reee-fugues coming back to try and preach their wares…does this mean resetera are actually the nazis?

Seems like he was talking about this maybe:


A lot of people where even pushing back on Nepenthe there, I think killing white babies is too far even for the average era member, but not for Nepenthe

This is absolutely horrific to even think like that. And ppl there with ok with it. WTF?

These ppl are trash of top tier.

Despite being 16% of the global population, whites are the global majority. They deserve it.
Baby genocide. Thats the idea you're defending here in case you didn't read what she wrote.

If you're fully aware of that i can only ask god for mercy on your soul and this world, and i'm a fucking atheist.


EDIT: Oh, it was sarcasm, thank god.

I kind of want to make an amateur documentary about the 2010's forum wars in a landscape that's adhering more and more to instant messaging platforms by the day.
ngl this whole affair would make a great documentary. just make sure EviLore is the main character so he can tell his side of the story (AKA the truth), and leave out all the assholes that made up all that bullshit about him.

or if they do put those people in the doc, put a line in their contracts that they can say whatever they want, no holds barred, however they have to wear clown make up for all of their scenes 🤡🤡🤡🤣🤣🤣

decent discourse community.

Dog piling and backseat modded until you get banned
Have a different opinion, ban
Have the same opinion but nuanced, ban
Moderators that endorse killing white kids
Wishing people of other political views dead

If thats decent discourse, he should get a reality check. Ree is no different from any totalitarian regime, walk in line or become deleted. There is absolutely no room for discussion.
I’ll add the protection of industry members. Speak bad against them they’ll invent a reason to ban you.

It was during the cyberpunk 2077 trans meltdown that I created my GAF account. That shit was brutal and unbelievably unfair. I think a lot of people left the forum during that ban genocide.
 
Well i'm pretty sure Era will be a zombie site like the rest of MOBAs portfolio in no time, not that i care. Anyway it was pretty clear it would end like this Cerium (Isamu Fukui) is a pretty smart guy and he sold at the best time possible since the site is in decline for a while now from what i can see, he probably planned this from the start.

Same

Like, sure have a negative opinion on the game. And CDPR. But fuuuuuck me, they went absolutely batshit insane. One thread to discuss the game with disclaimers on EVERY damn page

Enough
