This is my last response to you (Cru_Jones), simply because you have no understanding on the subject at hand. It's going to do nothing but give me headaches trying to figure out what you mean while dancing around what is being discussed and spewing around claims that your opinion is better than mine.

What is perversely unloyal about PGC advertising videogames on a videogame site.
Here, we have a question asked, that was answered previously, yet you choose to not read what was said.
This is a Nintendo fan site, hence loyalty should be towards Nintendo.Since you don't understand the usage of perverted:
To cause to turn away from what is right, proper, or good; corrupt.
To put to a wrong or improper use; misuse.Since the entire subject has been about the ads...
Using ads not related to Nintendo can be taken as perverted... They can "turn away from that which is Nintendo" or they can be viewed as, "Ads should be Nintendo, any other game system ads are viewed as being used improperly".
You don't go to IGN.com and see ads for Gamespot. You don't go to Ford's website and see ads for Chevy products. You don't go to Blizzard's website and see them promoting Bioware's Neverwinter Nights.

Just because they cover Nintendo, doesn't give them a perverted sense of loyalty. I know for a fact that some writers at PGC have other systems, they sometimes mention it in the purple boxes where they reply to articles. Just because you think that the members of PGC should have a perverted sense of loyalty, doesn't mean that they do.
You made no sense. The subject is about the ads, not reviews, purple boxes, PGC members, or what systems they own. They have a fansite for Nintendo, namely focused at the Gamecube and GBA.
I (there is that word again, that you don't understand), feel that ads talking about games/systems other than Nintendo are immoral. That is why
I made this thread, to express my dislike for their choice of ad selection. The powers that be have said, in a round about way, that Nintendo doesn't really give them ads to use, which is why they use the other ones. Fine, discussion handled, not by you though, since your opinion is moot.

Please, choose you battle, because you just defended your views of PGC being immoral and now you are saying that you weren't talking about them when you say that it is counter-productive? You used both words in the same sentence referring to the same entity! So make up your mind, were you talking about PGC or not?
No I didn't, you're the one that has broadsided this entire thread into a PGC attack. It has always been about the ad in question: Xenosaga, which is PS2 exclusive. If you would kindly look back, you will see that I originally asked if the ad could be replaced with something Nintendo. My second post, again, stated that I wished the ad could be replaced by something Nintendo. Then I called the ad counter-productive because it advertised something that, most people would consider, a rival for Nintendo. My third post, was in response to your babbling on about how I didn't understand the definition of "immoral" while you hinted to the fact that I could only use "immoral" if the site were running something that
offended the community. You asked me if I looked up the definition, I did, proved you wrong, showed how it was used, tied it together with my opinion, to justify it in the hopes that you would go away and try to inane tactics on someone else. It didn't, you reponded, and here we are, again, with you on a pedestal, on a subject you don't appear to fully grasp.
I'm going to stop here, rather than respond to the rest, because I'm hoping, again, that you'll go away. I'll leave you with some final words.
My opinion
I
Me
Not yours
Not the general opinion of everyone
Mine
Good luck in your class, you're going to need it if you have to have a higher level of reading comprehension.

It's actually a great deal simpler than that. You are a gamer. You buy games. They want to sell you games. If the game is very, very good, you might even buy the system to play the game on. The ad is as targetted as is necessary. They are hitting the exact right group of people. It may not be a NINTENDO ad, but quite frankly, our website is ONE GIANT NINTENDO AD, and while it would be nice for the advertising to be more Nintendo-oriented, many of our readers are multi-console gamers (or would like to be), so these ads are perfectly acceptable and not at all out of place.
I don't see it that way, but it doesn't matter. I just wanted to express my distaste for this ad.
