| Zekkyou said: It's still money they'd otherwise not have gotten :p Why are you apposed to giving them money though? SCE, MS and Nintendo all partake in their own share of assfuckery. None though to an extent that would make me give a shit if my money was going to them or the moon |
Well they usually aren't getting any money, since most PS3/X360 purchases from me were from returns (some of the games were flat out out of print, so there was no other way to get them, lol) but yes, they did get a little bit of my money. Nintendo probably got the most last gen but that was due to the grace of me having modded the Wii into... well a 2TB hard drive should paint the picture. M$ was on the low since I only buy Halo and the occasional other odd ball game.
I put them on different levels of assfuckery. For example:
* Nintendo assfuckery? Stupidity or Nintendon't, not being able to convey a point, or being backasswards for some stupid reason. (Conversely, they get props from me for reviving dead franchises even when they know they won't make money off of it. S&P2, Bayo2, for example. They also tend to get a pass for making good fucking games when they pull their heads out of their asses.)
* M$ assfuckery? Cruella De Vil. (But they have Halo hostage.)
* Sony assfuckery? Cut off your nose to spite your face. Shady business practices right up there with M$.
(I was actually going to pick up a PS3 very early in the last gen, but then they did that move where they locked down the "this is an open system!" home brew.)
