| Lafiel said: despising publishers, developers or console manufacturers ? some of you guys are too emotionally invested in this |
Or just sad no longer to be able to play new quality games from creative studios behind eg. Dungeon Keeper, Dune 2000, Wing Commander, Battlefront, Burnout, etc.
And sad to see kids throw all their money at this:
