Title of Rant:The Gaming Industry And It's Marketing Tricks
Reason for Rant: Fed up of gaming companies abusing the industry.
Actual Rant: I am getting really annoyed about companies like EA and Activision charging god knows what for console add-ons and games and leaving us PC gamers with the scraps and low prices.
Really, they don't care about the games. Sure, everyone sets up a business to make money but these people keep pumping out the same crap ten year old Xbox 360 players eat up. No variation, just FPS after FPS after FPS. Wheres the innovative games gone? I haven't seen a simulator published by a big company in ages. In fact, never has a worth-while sim been published by a big company. Except for The Sims, of course.
Not to mention all PC gamers get is dodgy, badly optimized ports from consoles and sometimes no DLC or no game at all. Consoles are where the money is at. Nice, restricting, bland, consoles. What happened to gaming being an art or a way to escape life?
I know, pretty much everyone big time company out there became greedy and disgusting. Isn't it funny how only small development companies produce new, fresh exciting games. Examples being Undead Labs and their new game State of Decay, a zombie game based around the survival aspect of a zombie apocalypse rather than the FPS stereotypical zombie game.
Come on EA, why won't you publish something that isn't complete garbage.
