i like to be optimistic, plus pissing and moaning isn't going to change how things ultimately are. i'm also of a 'wait and see' type of person because either 1. it's going to suck 2. they make it work, somehow or 3. they scrap that plan and go with something completely different. either way, at this point, being mad about the current state of gaming isn't going to change anything unless i have a plan (and some sort of multimedia empire behind me). i'm also trying to interpret their news, since i know they've repeatedly stated that if 15 fails, they're giving up on consoles... but i doubt they'd scrap the 7 remake if that's the case.
and tbh, releasing incomplete games isn't really a new thing to the the video game industry (see daikatana and a shitton of mediocre to shitty video games starting from its creation) but it's one that's become noticeable, as instead of turning to game studios for funding, developers are trying to use crowdsourcing as a alternative way to make the games they want and feel that fans want. and when a customer already has their dollar involved and invested, they're going to pay more attention to the outcome when it's not BIG EURO TRUCK RIG SIMULMATOR 1999 with five texures and steve forgot to code the brakes. i mean, i remember reading in a pc gamer back in the 90s about a game they were reviewing didn't have the water textured and it was a gray mass of polygon splines.
does no one remember walking past the rows of video games for pc and consoles with dubious titles like BIG GAME HUNTER and VIRTUAL POOL while they were growing up?
