See, most of you don't see the big picture. It's so funny watching you bicker over this little trifle, it makes me think of hyenas fighting over a half-eaten, smelly, fly-infested corpse of a recently devoured stag, while a bunch of suited lions stand a mile away laughing, and stealing their wallets.
I do agree with the statement of most, that gamers are in fact entitled, bigotted assholes, whose very predisposition to life is that they should have absolutely everything, at anytime they want; however, I do see the other side as well, where we have a couple of very wealthy, ruthless motherfuckers, spending their entire day, thinking of who and how to fuck-over next, and what they can do to shorten the game-making process, whilst retaining and even enlarging their enormous mass of dough. In short - both parties are dicks. And while I do lean a tad more on the consumer side - since, in fact, I am a consumer - and while I do see the utter lack of enthusiasm of most developers, and their half-baked, despicable, little tactics into getting you to spend a shit ton of money, for something so utterly useless and transparent, a normal person would never dream of even looking at the damn thing (and no, I won't say which game/s I have in mind. FUCK NO!), I do realize that developers and publishers alike, are all money-hungry, ruthless, utterly-depraved-of-standards... HUMAN BEINGS. Yes, exactly, they're human beings, just like you, and me, and your mom. We're no different, and YOU wouldn't do anything different if you were in their position. In fact, come to think of it, you'd probably do worse. So suck it up, fat boy, and get in line, for you will be just wasting your time. And, as many others have (probably) said, already, if you don't like it, then do something the fuck about it. If you're gonna complain - do it right! Otherwise, shut up, and go back and suck on EA/Nintendo's big bulging ... Oh, damn! I let myself slip... Ooops, I guess!
