Some people don't really want to contribute to Neowin, they just want to drive traffic to their blog or personal website.

We don't like that.

Yes, it is a blanket rule not aimed at any one member.

We have similar rules for BPN. We don't want people using BPN to drive traffic to their blog or personal website.

i hate it when people have attractive titles, and link the story to their blog.. it's a good rule that neowin has put into place, so in the future, a story thats researched doesn't have a dead link.

good idea to lock and edit topics like this.

Staff perk... not to mention he is a news poster.

I figured that, hence why I never mentioned it but I decided to post it as it was relative in a way. Plus I didn't quite mind it either as he had some good articles. *shrug*

Although, you might want to set a rule out in stone, for the guides forum, that linking to your site for the full article is unacceptable, as I don't think I see that written anywhere.

This makes sense, but at thye same time... not all of the formatting that could be done on a website can be done in a forum post. I say we keep the rule, but is it ok to add a link at the bottom of the guide with the formatting and everything?

Not that its a problem of course, just might save you guys some work if people knew that they had to copy the entire guide

I know what you mean, but the way i look at it is that there is prob the rule there some where, we just dont look too hard for it.

I have no problem with the rule, because once it was explained to me it made perfect sence..

Cool, only thing is, that when i posted in there i didnt see anything which stated this.

Not that its a problem of course, just might save you guys some work if people knew that they had to copy the entire guide :p

A link to this thread and a clarification of this rule was added to the Forum Rules for the "A Collection of Essential Guides" forum.

    • Microsoft announces the return of Xbox exclusives with Gears of War and Clockwork Revolution

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Microsoft announces the return of Xbox exclusives with Gears of War and Clockwork Revolution by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Microsoft had plenty of announcements to make today at the Xbox Games Showcase celebrating 25 years of the gaming brand. Now, under the leadership of the new Xbox CEO Asha Sharma, Xbox games are going back to their original release methods. She appeared in the livestream itself to announce the return of Xbox console exclusives. This means two major upcoming games from first-party studios won't be coming to PlayStation or Nintendo consoles: Gears of War: E-Day from The Coalition and Clockwork Revolution from InExile. Both titles will only be coming out on Xbox Series X|S consoles and Windows PCs, ditching any plans they had for PlayStation. "These are not timed exclusives," confirmed Microsoft. "We’re committed to investing in and growing XBOX both on console and beyond." The company confirmed that any already announced Xbox titles for PlayStation, under previous leadership, will continue to arrive for the rival platform. This means games like the new Halo remake, Forza Horizon 6, Fable, and State of Decay 3 will still be available on PlayStation, either at launch or later. It sounds like any new projects announced by the company will avoid other consoles in the same way. Microsoft first opened the floodgates by bringing titles like Sea of Thieves, Grounded, Hi-Fi Rush, and Pentiment to PlayStation and Nintendo consoles back in 2024. Since then, almost every new game release from Xbox Game Studios has arrived for rival consoles alongside Xbox and PC. This decision follows Sony's plans to ditch its own multiplatform releases too. Outside of multiplatform live service titles, the PlayStation maker is even abandoning its PC porting endeavors that started years ago.
    • This Corsair Vengeance DDR5-6000 32GB RAM with RGB is a great deal for limited time

      By xMorpheousx416 · Posted

      I'm missing the beginning part of this equation... but for the sake of the convo, you don't get to take a $250(?) set of normally priced RAM, jack it up to over $500/600/800 just because of a market shift, then lower it back down to more than what it was originally and call that a "sale". Not the author of this post... the manufacturer/seller.

    • Halo: Campaign Evolved is out next month with new prequel missions

      By leonsk29 · Posted

      It is, but it also has a bad performance reputation even on high-end gaming PCs. Some people say it's the engine's fault, others say it's the games developers' fault, who knows... At the end of the day, for the average gamer, the take is this: PC game with Unreal Engine 5? Be affraid and cross your fingers, it's a 50/50 chance.
