Devs should be capable of spotting shitty alts and trolls. No nextgen crap needed really.

It's like leave a jagged pothole on the road without a warning sign. You fucking cheap cunt, you!

Not sure that's necessary - sharing blacklists can also work. You know, the oldschool social interaction stuff.

Why would developers want to post on the Codex?

Many reasons! Morbid curiosity, trying to see what the "hardcore" gamers want, a love of oldschool rpg's, advertising their likely shit game, etc.
We want something else than they deliver.

Who on Codex would want to post on that desolate wasteland?
I see no reason we should scale to the developers level. Though the reintroduction and liberal distribution of DUMBFUCK! tags would be an incline.
If we start bending over to please someone elses fragile egos, there's no telling what they'll think they can get away with ramming up our asses.
Also, ban drocon for being a shit poster.

I can think of 10,323 reasons.
I'd rather entertain developers who were willing to honestly discuss actual gameplay than marketing drones hoping to get us to hand them a pile of our jewgold.
Anyway this topic is worthless. We all know that some small devs making their roguelikes are active on the dex and more popular ones lurk here, though do not post (anymore). It will change nothing, because the way we are we just are. We aren't a group of individuals discussing every tiny part of old and new cRPGs because we grew bored of it. We discussed games like Arcanum to death, while new games, like Skyrim, are usually bland and do not provoke deep discussions. These which do (ie. DE HR or LoG, I think) are discussed, but there are not many of them. This forum's active members are quite old for a typical gaming forum, I believe average here is close to 30 years old, so people often don't take games as seriously anymore and, while they love their hobby, don't feel as excited about discussing every tiny detail... which already was discussed dozen of times. While games are important to us all, which is why we are here, we do not tend to get obsessive about any particular ones (few individuals are exceptions though). There is no way someone would seriously discuss about topics like the ones that can be encountered in ie. Bioware Social, like sweating of female-blue-alien or several possible endings of ME3.

Actually the last time there was a poll on age, pressing majority turned out to be 15 to 25, tipping towards the lower end.
I'd rather have 3 interviews from people who are honestly trying to make a game I will like than a hundred interviews from hipster marketeers who try to appeal to my jewgoldz with empty promises.
The trolls come with the territory. Yes, I think some retards treatment of the Stoic guy was unwarranted. He was honest in his dealings with us, even going so far as explicitly stating that his game - while complex to the average consoletard - would probably be likened to checkers by many of us. But that doesn't mean we should suddenly lose our testicles, drop on our knees and loudly proclaim we're willing to gargle publisher cock if we can only have a few more interviews.

Good news to developers: in another 20-30 years the "RPGCodex problem" will have solved itself, through extinction.
