And in advance, I am sorry I can be quite lengthy in some of these things. I know it is a long read, but I do hope you'll at least give it a read. I know there have got to be a lot of people that want to read something that is a little more well-thought out than the usual flame war. So post your thoughts whether critically positive or negative.

This has actually been a few months in the works trying to think of the best way to write it. Also want to write one on the reviews system that I mentioned but that could be awhile.

I... really can't say much, because your main post is spot on. It's part of the reason I've become so jaded against graphics and FMVs: all it does is make it easier to advertise, but you put it so much more eloquently. And I'm also already looking forward to your post on the review system, since it's something else I have issues with. (And I feel it feeds nicely into this article, also.)
