Look, I’m not a fucking broker or a hustler, okay? I don’t care that you keep running around telling me or others to go waste our time and money to put into markets that can be incredibly unpredictable. It is all about luck, chance and risk. Things most wouldn’t want to put themselves on the line over even if they were down next to nothing. They’d rather buy lottery tickets.

    Whatever flash in the pan has “games” pissed off today.

    They’re easily outraged by any perceived slight, easily demonized/lionized by the media, often incredibly misguided, entirely without consideration for the bigger picture, and usually have 0 long-term impact follow-through or apology when whatever they were upset about gets rectified.

      Sums them up quite nicely. To include, a lot of them have a poor grasp in how the business is handled in the industry. They just think that whatever game that only like, 15 people remember will make “loads of money” if it only got a remaster. Like come on, we’ve seen mini-consoles released, we’ve seen what gets decided to be remade. It is all based on what the IP originally brought to the company in the first place.

      Gamers have been awfully spoiled in the past 14 years that only gamers 20 or more years ago would have loved to dine into. So many sales. So many opportunities. So much choice.

      But no, let’s throw all of that away because of a minor inconvenience or pretending to care about some game that they wouldn’t have liked anyways but pretend to now like because of some political issue.
