So pleased by this news! If nothing else, at least more people won't lose their jobs. As much as I want to support local smaller game retailers, in my area, Game is all we've got, and I'd much rather buy in-person than off the internet.

Keeping my computer up-to-date enough to play games is just a hassle. With consoles, you know it'll work, no problems. Plus, not gonna lie, achievements keep me on the xbox cos Im the sort of shallow and low-self-esteem loser who needs little meaningless numbers to give my life some worth.

I think to an extent its nostalgia; if you play one of the first installments of a game series, you're introduced to it like "this is how this game is". When things are changed upon or improved in later installments, its natural to say "Hey, wait a second, it wasnt like this before!". At least...
