Why I gave up on the AAA industry.

labels, labels, labels , a good game is one you enjoyed regardless of the box its put in, or the rating it did or did not receive.

Now the thread reminded me of a friend who likes to let everyone know that she only watches  independent /art house films usually why wearing a corresponding t shirt, but would never explain why, beyond a general decry of the industry, now the reaction from her friends hasn't been so much about what she watches more about what her motivation to do so is and it ranges from the typical she's a hipster tag,  to entertainment by agenda, the evidence used to support the later revolves around how she pushes her views ,when the counter argument is brought up that it's natural to see fans pushing their particular fandom, the counterpoint is rather than being the poster girl for independent films and what they add to the cinematic landscape she comes across as not someone who was drawn into that world by the subject matter , but more as someone who's anti industry views lead them there.

Now my take is yes there's hipster in there we all have some hipster traits in our dna, but in that case it was combined with an agenda. now some people will say in the end it's a personal view,while I agree with the personal view, it's important to see what motivation lays behind a person's actions even if it's just to better understand where they are coming from.
