PC gamers today are confusing arrogance with pride. Any PC gamer who needs to find meaningless ways to bolster their favorite platform, cheats built in, being able to tweak performance, etc, really do need to get some perspective over the argument.
The reason why certain games like Fallout 1 and 2, Baldur's Gate, and System Shock are remembered fondly is simple. They were in the handful of games your family bought you that year and you only had two choices: Play it or play nothing that year. When you were forced to play, it gets better each time.
A company should not rest on their laurels. So what if your company made well loved games in the past. If you are making crap now, you have every right to be shut down, especially if someone else is fronting the bill.
Vale is overrated.
Bioware made only one game in 1996 and keep rereleasing it. Every setting change is nothing more than reskinning their existing work. Remember that the next time you complain about an EA Sports title.
Portal Sucks.
Bioshock is a great setting. It has a lousy story.
Fighting games are the definition of pick up and play casual.
Western RPGs' Unique Selling Point is its biggest detriment. Character creation forces everything to be generic.
Even the most annoying JRPG character is leaps and bounds better than any western RPG protagonist. In order for you to feel anything for the character, there needs to be something there in the first place.
Entitled accurately describes people who believes a lot of things. Anyone who hates it the term and does not want to play when it is brought out knows that deep down they are acting in this privileged manner.
