Now I get what they're doing. The developers told the moderators to create only one topic for gameplay perspective because they want to limit the outcry when on June 18 people see that the game is first person perspective.
Keeping all the answers in one thread will stifle the discussion. They even said it themselves, they want to keep other issues on the first page. They just don't want people talking about it anymore.
