Wanting the entire industry to crash because it's not catering to you is just sad.


I want a kick to their pants not a full blown crash. Seriously, I highly reccommend you watching that video I posted in reply to pezus's comment.

Some section of the industry need to grow up.

Watched it, he as an issue with their crappy marketing and the couple of subpar games he listed, ok. 

Wanting companies to feel repercussions for anti-consumer activities (things the video didn't touch upon..) is fine, I do too. Salivating at the prospect of a gaming crash because you don't like EA is nonsensical. 

Alright, well that's your opinion and I respect that. Just note that I don't want a crash due to EA, I want a crash in the western AAA industry in general and I want EA to be part of it.

EA is only a part of the bigger problem. Actually I'm willing to believe that all the crap that the publishers have been giving us this past gen, we're blaming it on EA because they show the most prominence while doing this, when in reality it's a general industry attitude towards the treatment of the medium.

Besides, if the last crash brought forth so many good things, I'm fairly sure this one will too.

Ok, so your issue isn't with EA, it's with Western AAA games. Predictable. 

You don't like them (all??) so want all the companies making them to encounter serious financial trouble and be forced to make games you do like or go bankrupt, correct? And preferably on platforms of your choice?
