Welcome to the results of MassDebate! The latest entry stirred up somewhat of a metadebate: The debators' discourse threw up some controversy; the inclusion of screenshots from Final Fantasy XII twice in my header montage caused some confusion (a genuine error on my part); and finally we had the detractors, arguing that "sequelitis" was a word that I stole from another site, and suggesting that arguing over a 'trivial' topic "cheapens the site" (because until this blog came along, Destructoid was Serious Business, like Bloomberg but with videogames). 

Fortunately we also had comments that got into the spirit of the debate (as well as a few forum regulars popping up to deliver their own brand of justice to the front page) and we have had another great race with a high turnout and some interesting results: 

Congratulations to ZombiePlatypus on his victory and commiserations to Aurain on his defeat. 

Here are some of the highlights in the comments: 













Many thanks to everyone who added to the comments. Next time we will be tacking quite a thorny proposition: Is internet gaming discussion too hostile to be productive? I look forward to seeing you then.

@Magnalon Well, I could have ignored it, but I think it was an important part of the last debate. It wouldn't have been a thorough summary without at least mentioning there was dissent.

Aurain

@Janklogs

It's true.
Sonic does suck.
I voted for ZP.

I thought everybody won that day.

ZombiePlatypus

Tekbunny hurt by feelings and now I'm gonna cut my other wrist.

"next time...is internet gaming discussion too hostile to be productive"

I'm sure our postmodern love for sarcasm will be checked at the door and we will be able to engage in an internet gaming discussion about the productivity of internet gaming discussions...oh, see? I already fucked it up.

The comments section for that debate had more worth reading than the what was written for the "debate."

@doewnskitty

I'll assume you're referring specifically and exclusively to my comments. Thanks man, glad you liked!

tekbunny

BrowneyeWinkin

I shouldnt be surprized that ZP won considering that COD sells like hot cakes and dead trilogies like Halo come back for seconds

If it means anything aurian you had my vote despite yer feelings on sonic 3

Mosty because ZP used a whole paragraph to shit on uncharted but you made a pretty good case as well

ZombiePlatypus

I voted for Aurain because it was the right thing to do.

"Mosty because ZP used a whole paragraph to shit on uncharted"

You bring a smile to my face.

Aurain

I vote for NO PLEASE <3 because

tekbunny

@zombie

I didn't realize that Massdebate went mainstream, you sellouts.

But for seriously - congrats to Zombie!
