I wonder what the ECA, AIAS and ESA has to say about the eventuality of a second coming of the video game crash despite their best efforts to keep this industry from drowning?
It's no secret that those people use all sort of tactics to get the people to buy the games that reflect best their interest (Punishing a reviewer for giving a low score to a game that is publicized on one of their website, boosting the rating of some unoriginal cookie-cutter game just to stretch the amount of money that can be made with the concept, shunning new and original concept just to duplicate the idea in some franchised title... the list goes on.) and ultimately destroying the very ground on which their industry is build upon in a "talon d'achille" fashion.
Are you still confident that a monetary based system is still the best way to praise the hard work of the game developers?
