No, rest assured I caught your point completely, But I still don’t buy into your assessment of every consumer as a gullible idiot throwing money at the corporate machine. You’re spewing some pretty heavy cynicism.
The funny thing is that on the whole, I actually agree with you (to a lesser extreme), I just think it’s kind of a silly place to start proselytizing about it.
It’s kind of like walking into a McDonalds and going on a rant about obesity. Is it a problem? Sure it is. Does that make you you any less of a nuissance? Not really.
Publishers use slimy tactics to sell more games? No kidding. Sometimes games suck? You don’t say! Am I part of the problem? Nope, somehow I’ve been blessed with the divine power to decide what I want or don’t want to play at release, and adjust my purchases accordingly.
So kindly refrain from implying my thread is a bastion of ignorance and gullibility.
