Let it burn to the ground sick of predatory practices.,(reply>), Lol i dont see no fire.,(reply>), ImminentGod when you pay full price for the original game...and the second it loads there’s buyable content worth thousands of times what the games worth?!  Yeah, THAT was the day that gaming died!  Even Diablo 3 eliminated the auction house because of this stupid concept-SMART!  That’s why they survived, gamers stayed the course after that!  The rest of gaming DEVS saw that traded money as potentially theirs if they just readjusted the same fools who would pay, and have since been living off the paychecks of VERY stupid consumers!  I avoid AAA like the plague!  Even WarFrame bothers me, not because theirs micro transactions in a free game...but because the micro transactions can be unlimited if you just bust out your wallet you could sit there all day paying DEVS everything in your account and there’d still be more useless PURCHASABLE content, no game should have thousands of times its cost as buyable content in it, EVEN ONLINE POKER paying that much you can at least get a return!  Games just flat out RIP YOU OFF with NOTHING to show for it!  Video games are already a terrible TIME investment-NOW THEY WANT OUR PAYCHECKS TOO?!  I’m out forever, stopped being fun along time ago!,(reply>), @Nathan even so, the most serious game dev will always take pride in making a good game. You can make cash cow without it being a good game. <br><br>Its not just a business but groups of craftsmen, writers, and programmers coming together to make a good game. It's the disconnect between the suits at the top and the people who actually make the game which causes the problem. And anyone without a real desire to make a good game will ultimately fail.,(reply>), @Burns cares? you mean anyone who wants to make money...<br>the games industry will continue to boom even if all these AAA companies crash and burn<br>Game developers are first and foremost businesses, to make cash, and if they produce a fun and innovative game along the way, thats a byproduct,(reply>), @Nathan in the end I think that anyone who cares will make great content despite the market crash. I mean, look at Nintendo.  Yes their policies are a bit archaic and backwards but they've survived this long because of their focus on making great, fun and innovative games.
