How exactly is music any different from video games or movies or books any other form of art? I will judge someone who says a soundtrack with the Who, Rolling Stones, David Bowie, the Ramones, Clash, Pixies, Nirvana, REM, Metallica, etc. sucks big time exactly the same as I would judge someone who said "Super Mario Galaxy sucks big time" or "Citizen Kane sucks big time."
And I did not say that telling someone to shoot himself in the head was funny, so let's dispose of that straw man comment.
Again, I'm not defending it, I just don't see it as being worthy of this much outrage.
Sure this guy has little in the way of a spine considering he bought Rock Band because his friend convinced him to, and then was disappointed when his friend said "this game sucks"... but as long as he doesn't *actually* blow his head off because Rocketpig told him to, I'll get back to discussing video games.
We don't provide the 'easy to program for' console that they [developers] want, because 'easy to program for' means that anybody will be able to take advantage of pretty much what the hardware can do, so the question is what do you do for the rest of the nine and half years? It's a learning process. - SCEI president Kaz Hirai
It's a virus where you buy it and you play it with your friends and they're like, "Oh my God that's so cool, I'm gonna go buy it." So you stop playing it after two months, but they buy it and they stop playing it after two months but they've showed it to someone else who then go out and buy it and so on. Everyone I know bought one and nobody turns it on. - Epic Games president Mike Capps
We have a real culture of thrift. The goal that I had in bringing a lot of the packaged goods folks into Activision about 10 years ago was to take all the fun out of making video games. - Activision CEO Bobby Kotick
