I dunno about that...
what a gamer should only care its getting good quality games on whatever system is in.
I agree with this statement, actually. But...
unless you own STOCK market, you should not care about a company making huge profit (unless they are bleeding money and may disappear).
Here we begin to truly differ. I DO want companies to make high, even great profits, because that's the only way to ensure that they stick around for the long haul. A company with plenty in the coffers is also more likely to take a risk than one that's on the verge of bankruptcy, which again only benefits we gamers. No, it IS in our best interests that developers and publishers make bank off their games when feasible.
Then there's the part of your statement that I underlined.
That unfortunately has already been happening to far too many developers this generation, and it's threatening to suck in even more as time goes on. When even the massive giants like EA are posting losses despite having record revenue, we know there's trouble in gaming land. But I've already written extensively on this site about this subject. Here's the link I posted earlier in the thread, if you're interested: there are plenty more. And I'm far from the only one who's writing these; anyone who's paying attention to the financial records has noticed a violent downwards trend in our industry, a vaccuum that's hellbent on bringing down more and more developers. That trend must stop, for our own sakes.
