And thus, the end of console gaming for me. I've been playing since 1983 when I was just a tiny little kid, sitting in front of my parents TV, soaking up some Pitfall and E.T. I was right there in 1986 to see the rise of the NES all the way through to present times but alas, the journey ends.

Gaming has turned into a greedy cesspool. Yeah, it's always been a business, but that business has reached critical mass where we're getting so much less for so much more that I can't justify it anymore. How we have gone from paying $200.00 for one console every 6 years to $3/400.00+ every 3 years is beyond me. How we have gone from $40.00 for complete AAA games that are 100% tested and shipped with all DLC on disc to $60.00 games with 60% of the content, filled with bugs and required 20GB patches is beyond me. How we have gone from free online gameplay to all three charging... er... robbing us blind... is beyond me.

I truly am sad to see the day, but gaming has left me. It was a good run but, it's no longer something I recognize. It's calling itself the "game industry" but I don't see it as that. It's something else.

I'm out.

I could argue with every point you made, but its easier to say... PEACE OUT!

I'm curious to see how Nintendo makes this a service worth paying for.
