Ultimately I feel these calls must be up to devs and pubs. If Epic said “we won’t consider exclusivity funding agreements with products announced on Steam”, that would have a chilling effect on their willingness to do business with Steam, which isn’t fair to them or Valve.

Even now, you're on twitter, bashing a very commonly used method of source consolidation for reddit in order to frame a narrative of the population hating your service because they're uninformed. They're not. They hate your service because it's a bad service for them.

Visibility through upvoting and downvoting is a great way to surface pictures of cute kittens, but it’s no way to nurture meaningful discourse. Arguments can only be weighted on their merits if they are seen, and this curation approach makes minority opinions invisible.

I think the mods created the megathread to keep the situation from escalating *after* the dozens of negative posts. It was a reaction to the out of control echo chamber, not a cause.

The megathread isn't quarantining anything. Both opinions of Epic can be found in it. It is quite literally just a single spot to look for the articles themselves instead of looking all over the place for just one thing.

If you go through these threads, and click “show comments” on the hidden (downvoted) ones, nearly all represent the minority opinion, and hiding correlates much more with the opinion expressed than the quality of the argument in the post.

Finally, the downvoting of minority opinion is a problem when it's solely because it is a minority opinion, which does happen sometimes. However, in the case of Epic, that isn't the case. It's downvoted because of how toxic Epic acts towards its consumers.

Downvoting because someone disagrees is indeed a problem, as that's not what reddit intended downvotes to be used for. But that has literally ***nothing*** to do with the megathread, and it also has *nothing* to do with the mods.
