What the hell is wrong with you, exactly?

Aye. Every day is Talk Like a Pirate Day.

Either that or a New Zealander, or maybe a Canadian.

Noun 1. rant - a loud bombastic declamation expressed with strong emotion
harangue, ranting
declamation - vehement oratory
screed - a long monotonous harangue
2. rant - pompous or pretentious talk or writing
blah, bombast, claptrap, fustian
grandiloquence, grandiosity, magniloquence, ornateness, rhetoric - high-flown style; excessive use of verbal ornamentation; "the grandiosity of his prose"; "an excessive ornateness of language"
Verb 1. rant - talk in a noisy, excited, or declamatory manner
jabber, mouth off, rabbit on, rave, spout
mouth, speak, talk, verbalise, verbalize, utter - express in speech; "She talks a lot of nonsense"; "This depressed patient does not verbalize"

Alright, I'm gonna go out on a limb here and assume you're trying to explain that your rant (which is what you referred to it) is admittedly senseless babble/venting, if not I'm not quite sure what you're trying to say here.

Okay, while my Nintendo did last forever, I still won't forgive the bastards for somehow convincing my parents to buy me Combat Basketball.

I played more than my fair share of awful, awful games to know that those old game companies were just as money grubby as the new companies. They pawned off just as much shovelware as they do now.

Nostalgia only really helps us remember the good things.

Yup,pretty much.

So true.

OT: I used to think that quality is decreasing in comparison to things back then, but I really wonder if that's because our standards have gone up in recent times or we're so blinded by nostalgia that we can't make any kind of proper judgement. Old hardware is more reliable, but that's because in comparison to today's consoles, it does less than what it does. It seems that the more complicated something is, the higher chance of failure it has.

Addressing your "rants" (Rant implies mindless raging of words, or something like that) towards companies strictly making money, name me one gaming company that isn't out to make money. As much as I don't like it myself, it's a big, bad world and people will always try to make money and lists other things as "not as important". Second, you seem to portray yourself as someone who has to open the eyes of people that you perceive as blind to these "ways to make more money", you don't seem to give people enough credit to realize that maybe there's something that they see in the company that you don't that lets them accept the company's actions. Maybe there's something they see that justifies it.

Edit: Also, the title really pisses me off about people that "rants" about these sorts of things, they believe they are in the right while the people they address are apparently all blind or is just plain wrong about their opinions/options. You don't dictate what other people do just because they differ from you.

Simple answer:

1) Get job
2) Purchase developer, publisher and console manufacturer stock
3) Buy games and consoles
4) Profit
5) Repeat from step 2

EA making it into the Fortune 500 back in April was a very lucrative experience. My money is on Activision Blizzard to go next and of course investing in Nintendo is a good way to defray some of the risk.

 

[Kurokami]

Yup,pretty much.

Hmmmm... Okay then? I expected some argument/discussion here alright. So you only momentarily lost all faith in games?

Exactly

What I'm having most fun playing these days (I have bfbc2 and borderlands,and a whole lot of other games) is a browser strategy game called Grepolis.
