It's what I do best.
But still ... you buy games even if you don't really support the bussiness. You WILL buy BF5, you WILL buy whatever GoD comes, you WILL buy whatever crap anyone, including MS and EA, is pushing. And you'll bitch about it because somehow you deserve good games, and you are better than other people and PC gaming is for some reason better than other forms of entertainment. Which is extremely self centered.
No. Just no.
Everyone cites the next Battlefield, or the next Madden, or the next train wreck that EA puts out as an example of how we are the problem. I pose a different question. When will other people stand up and make good on their moaning? Whether it be EA, MS, or any other company, the consumer shows their displeasure by not buying crap. All of my computers are Origin free. The last GFWL title I purchased was Bulletstorm (didn't read the fine print). The only Xbox I've ever owned was gutted and turned into a media center PC. Prove your point with dollars, not moaning or moaning about how other people aren't doing their part.
I agree with Ford, that the death of studios by assimilation is a problem. I get around this by buying from the people that jumped ship from these studios. I'll never have another afternoon tooling around in a Puma, sniping the head off an Atlas. At the same time, I've got Bioshock and Risk of Rain. The video game world changes, and we have to be willing to go out and find whatever it is we are looking for. It sucks that studio names no longer carry weight, but I can show you a dozen new Indie games that came out this month, for every genuinely good AAA game released in the past six months. With so many good games untainted by crappy business practices, why even drag EA into the discussion.
