February 16, 201312 yr If I want hollow PR speak that causes me to lose faith in the industry, I usually listen to John Riccitiello...
February 16, 201312 yr I play escapist entertainment to escape from all the social interactions I have to go through on a daily schedule, so this is fairly much diametrically opposed to what I want, then again i'm a bitter old man. Quite an experience to live in misery isn't it? That's what it is to be married with children.I've seen things you people can't even imagine. Pearly Kings glittering on the Elephant and Castle, Morris Men dancing 'til the last light of midsummer. I watched Druid fires burning in the ruins of Stonehenge, and Yorkshiremen gurning for prizes. All these things will be lost in time, like alopecia on a skinhead. Time for tiffin. Tea for the teapot!
February 22, 201312 yr Yea... the subjects discussed were largely what I don't like about where gaming is going. I find it strange that Feargus is so concerned about players not reselling their games. While yea, you want them to enjoy their game that they bought, places like Gamestop can actually help you in the long run by introducing people to your game that otherwise might not have played it. Many people resell their games (and other possessions) as they realize they have no use for them anymore (even if they enjoyed them immensely at one point), or just need the money. Not everyone collects their games, and wants to keep them forever. There is and always will be a place for 2nd hand stuff in the marketplace. The looking up to Bethesda is disconcerting. Their games embody most of what I don't like about modern games, and have very little that I do like in them.
