| RolStoppable said: I take a guess: This thread was inspired by the youtube video of Game Overthinker.  You are absolutely correct that nobody in charge will care about what people say in videos and message boards. Summary of GO's video: The comic book industry was heading into the direction to make comics more "mature" and focused on a certain demographic, while largely ignoring the kids who were the core market of comics. This meant that hardly any new customers were drawn to the market and it shrinked. The same is about to happen to the videogames industry because Microsoft and Sony have nearly nothing in their lineups which appeals to kids. Well, it would happen if it weren't for Nintendo who still provide games for younger age groups who are a large part of the videogame industry's core market. |
His vid was just one of many, or as Pink Flloyd would say, just another brick in the wall. It's been an ongoing thing for some time now. Sure, he has a point, but do you really think MS or Sony are sitting and watching his vid? That's MY point. Its either preaching to the choir or fanning flames, nothing more.
@cdude - Exactly. I wrote something on the internet that was not some form of backed factual data, like a sales report or quoting a valid source, thus my OP has no weight either, though it is something that people can agree or disagree with. I think part of the issue is that the same conversations are rehashed on a weekly basis, and its becoming this stagnating, dull conversation after another. No matter how you try to break this trend, it keeps occurring and the same responses get posted time and time again. Honestly, if I see another "This is why LBP will succed" or "THis is why LBP will fail" threat, the Ewok gets it.
