| HappySqurriel said: Michael Bay walks into a room, says he wants to make a Transformers movie with "Wicked" special effects and he gets a check written for $200,000,000.00 without anyone asking "Will this have a plot or character development?" Certainly, this hasn't hurt every studio but the industry as a whole is complaining about losing money and they blame it on movie downloads. |
Good god, he still has to walk into the room? I figured at this point they'd just mail him the check. =P
Anyways I agree with everything you say, and would like to add, the Video game industry is much smaller than the movie industry, and I find it disturbing and very unhealthy that parts of it seem to be following the same downward spiral as movies in terms of content quality, but with far less forms of income to fall back on.
Movies make money at the box office and the DVD sales, games are just the disc sale. Movies tend to have a lot more merchandizing as well often including a game tie in. Just doesn’t seem to be a good place to move to.
