Mind bringing me up to speed here, I don't keep the name cards of those involved in 'gaming politics' so I've very little information to go here, I assume games and their companies make money by selling however, to us specifically, the gaming community so... Not quite sure why its so bad that they treat it like a business. Don't get me wrong, I don't touch copy+paste games with a 10 foot pole, but I don't see them as evil for making them, especially when others seem so keen to purchase them.
Like I said, not much of a clue as to what the bs involved is so I'm probably not seeing the big picture here.
It's that Kotic keeps pushing copy paste, and treats the games industry like you can just run stuff on a factory line, not wanting factor in the fact that it's like Art in a sense that you need to let creativity flow rather than stifle it, the same way you can't just get lots of artists in a building and make them push out art on a factory line, you can't with video games, Kotic would rather it's an automitus process, thus leading to less interesting games.
Okay, well I don't have much love for games like that as I said previously, but shouldn't we turn to the people actually interested in such games? I know gamers who aren't actually looking for anything... worth while (by my standard) and prefer the Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, 3 to be copy pasted for their purchase. Its them that bother me, atleast he's employing people and making money.
(No hate intended for Modern Warfare, I actually quite enjoyed the campaign in both games from a cinematic point of view very much)
I'd say that was more of a fault on both sides in regards to MW2 and the like, however, it's more the mainstream gamer market that are content with that, if it was still considered pretty geeky past time, the sales figures (relative to the imagined markets) would've most likely tanked or done medicore, specially with the dedicated server debacle, Activision makes generic games, the mass mainstream market laps it up, activision makes generic game 2, mass mainstream laps it up, etc etc, thus leading to the current situation where the mainstream are used to it being that way, thus they do not question or resist it.
We however are NOT the mainstream media, which is why we voice our concerns, you don't hear frat boy A complaining about generic gaming and he is very unlikely to even know about Activision or Kotics antics, how many people know about the Infinity Ward scandal outside proper gamers? It's just like reality TV and Soaps, the people in charge put them out, and the mainstream are quite happy to eat it, because they don't know any better.
