The whole situation is inherently hopeless.

The gaming industry mirrors the movie industry. Hollywood is in town, and they have no interest in leaving. What was once a hobby for social shut-ins, geeks, and people has now become a favored past time for...social shut-ins, geeks, and everyone else. 'Casual' gets slung around a lot in the gaming community, often as a slur. However, since gaming has become such a popular way to blow hours, the industry can churn out absolute garbage and still make a profit.

Better graphics, sub-par gameplay.

Michael Bay has invaded video games, and we're sucking his dick one game purchase at a time.

There is no gamer collective. There is no hope in voting for our wallets, in spite of my supporting that notion for years. Gamers who genuinely care about their hobby with passion are vastly outnumbered by the retarded many, whom see games as nothing more than childish entertainment with little to zero artistic value. I don't buy shit that's needlessly overpriced because I have bills to pay. I also kind of like having money in my savings, since that's kind of important. I don't need authentic night vision goggles with my copy of Modern Warfare 2. If I need to kill zombies at night, then I'll be sure to head down to Best Buy and fetch me a pair.

Here's something you can do, which might contradict what I said previously, but I'm writing on a forum so who cares. If you see a game and a developer trying something new that catches your fancy, if you see that little gem amongst the shit-smothered plastic cases at your nearest Gamestop, support it. Buy it. Go on. Lend a hand and support something that won't get money from the thousands upon thousands of retards on XBox Live. Don't pirate it, and then wonder why nobody's making these games anymore.

Only then can you truthfully open your mouth and bitch. And bitch. And bitch.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

MODERN WARFARE 2 IS OVERPRICED BUT I'LL BUY IT ANYWAY. PIG DISGUSTING AMERICAN DOGS OF THE AMS. TIME THEY MADE A MOVE.

It's so fucking easy to talk in morally superior way, but unless you back it up with actions it's meaningless.


There's nowhere I can't reach.
