Well, cleaning up stuff is always nice... and from what I've seen, threads can quickly spiral out of control, poor mods.
Now I've got a question for you then about something that I was wondering, call it a bit oft clarification and/or a different perspective on what's considered "offtopic" - if this is a discussion thread about the game, why shouldn't some people be talking/speculating about the developers as well as the game, and, well, their resources, namely money as a side at this point?
I get that the main focus is about the game, specific events, maybe speculation about the new updates incoming, what they could include and whatnot, why not also widen the horizon on the entirety of the topic by asking questions that sorround the game? Namely development of it, and how resources are handled?
Granted, those kinds of "discussions", if some can be called that, quickly derail into a shitfest of annoying posts, so I could see the point, though I wouldn't consider it "off-topic", atleast in my opinion, which may or may not even matter
