I think some people are missing the point... these scorebombs actually do affect sales in a negative fashion, this is not what should happen but it does. A seed of doubt is all it takes to turn a potential puchaser off in these fical times, so everything counts in the end.
People are stupid f**ks.
So when a great game, or even a good game for that matter gets an over the top drop-kick in the balls score like what's happened here, the game sales suffer.. in turn making the developer suffer due to the publisher getting pissy by proxy. This in turn hurts us, by way of publishers becoming timid with new innovations and change going forward in the chosen style of game.
As much as it sucks peen, the almighty dollar can either let innovation and positive change happen in a games future, or restrict it - this type of malarky indirectly makes for worse gaming for us, the gamers.
