What gets me about the whole price-cut whining in this generation isn't so much the idea of price cuts. They're a way of life in this industry; they happen sooner or later.

What gets me is the sense of entitlement that a lot of the whiners have. They think they have some inborn right to pay less for their consoles and games, often for the most insipid reasons (length of time the game has been out, some abstract measure of what "went into the game", the console it's on, and crap like that). And then there are the people who pirate games "because they cost too much," as though this will drive prices down or that their desire to not pay so much somehow makes stealing a valid option.



Complexity is not depth. Machismo is not maturity. Obsession is not dedication. Tedium is not challenge. Support gaming: support the Wii.

What do I hate about modern gaming? I hate tedium replacing challenge, complexity replacing depth, and domination replacing entertainment. I hate the outsourcing of mechanics to physics textbooks, art direction to photocopiers, and story to cheap Hollywood screenwriters. I hate the confusion of obsession with dedication, style with substance, new with gimmicky, old with obsolete, new with evolutionary, and old with time-tested.
There is much to hate about modern gaming. That is why I support the Wii.
