I would say I'm more annoyed by 3rd parties now than I used to be.
Their whining about their lack of success is probably what has done it....when it seems obvious to everyone but them why their software isn't selling.
When I hear things like Ubisoft are now only expecting Red Steel 2 to sell 500,000 at best..instead of a million.....that just makes me assume they are probably going to cut their marketing budget in half..and obviously have half as many units on store shelves....
...which pretty much creates a situation where the game is doomed to failure before its even been released.
