I think there's a good use for the individual communities. If everyone posted stuff about their games in a generic game community I think it would turn a lot of people off. I wouldn't want to see a constant influx of posts where I actually like only 1/8 of the games being talked about and don't understand or like the other 7/8. The general gaming communities tend to stick to big gaming news or topics most gamers might have some input on. You probably don't want a community that started out with conversations you can join in on to be overrun with my favorite niche game in a genre you hate with an artstyle you hate, but that also happens to have a super active Threadiverse community. I completely get what you're saying, the Threadiverse is pretty small and a lot of specific magazines just don't get content at a decent rate, but I appreciate that we have separate communities.
