And this is why I want another gaming crash. People will support corrupt companies. If this were any other industruy, companies like Activision would be bankrupt.


You want a gaming crash because people like games you don't? Please tell us more about how you want the world to revolve around you.


So you want to have to pay for broken, unfinished games? Fine by me.

If were talking about Destiny there was nothing broken or unfinished to me. Now If were talking about things like Halo MCC and Drive club well that's a different story and we don't need gaming to crash to fix it. We just need reviewer/gaming journalist to do their job.

For instance when half of a game doesn't work you don't give it an 8 you give it a 4-5. Then all this broken gaming stuff would stop happening because game devs/publishers don't want their games being scored so low they know that affects sales. So really we just need gaming journalism to crash and let people who really want to do the job right come in and do it.

Gaming Journalism isn't the only problem. Many features are being removed from games just for DLC and pre-order bonuses. Many games aren't beta tested and are always being patched. The cycle just has to stop somewhere.

Yes but a gaming crash is not the way to have all that stuff fixed that is an extreme answer to an easily fixable situation. Gaming Journalism has the most power and is in the best position to get it fixed. They are the ones with direct contact with all these devs and pubs. If they started asking hard questions and stopped being so soft in their reviews things would change. Activision literally was giving higher bonuses for higher review scores that's how much faith publishers put into reviews. Journalist have a ton of power in this industry but their to busy getting free stuff and enjoying all the other free stuff to give a damn about their job. Thankfully it seems like some sites are starting to take their job seriously and do it right. Gamespot giving Halo a 6 was amazing and that was a site I stopped visiting a long time ago cause their reviews were horrible. It restored a bit of faith in me for that site and I've been keeping an eye on it to see how they do in later reviews with buggy/broken games.
