Multiple "official" threads for games - WHY?
Can't we just stick with one thread for each game?
This is adding a lot of confusion for me, and I'm sure for others. I understand the logic of people who want to discuss gameplay, but that's what the spoiler tag is for. Why make it harder on others? We don't need "The Official Release thread", "The Official gameplay thread", "the official level 2 act 4 thread" and so on.

Is there any way to merge these threads as they're created? This happened for Madden, too.

yeah i can merge. i'll merge the madden and bioshock ones.
everyone else - DO NUT START A NEW FUCKING THREAD FOR A GAME IF THERE ALREADY IS ONE. If it's time for a new one, I'll lock the old.

Shouldn't it be the mods or someone who make a thread the 1 and only or the official thread for *blank*.
I never understood why anyone thinks they can make an Official or 1 and only thread here.... craziness I tell you.... craziness....

It basically comes down to forum etiquette. Before you post a thread about a game, search first.. If there is already a thread, don't make another one..
