There comes a point when a game becomes old and no longer turning a profit.

Hideo Kojima announces... dundundun... Kurt Russell as the voice of Snake!!

Yay another broken combat system like Oblivion/Skyrim and is truly broken compared to other real time combat systems.

That is called preference. Everyone has a preference for what they play. You are calling all graphical games crap when, in reality, they are still just as good as the lower quality graphical games.

Blizzard helped the proper authorities to locate a suspect on World of Warcraft. Justice had been served and no one complained. Nothing is wrong with helping the government locate suspects.

We all played the Xbox one already. It had the phat controller and the next evolution of online gaming.

It might be the approval process by Apple that puts the Android version on hold.

Focusing on graphics gives more life in a game that in 20 years it doesn't look like shit and people will still play it. i.e. Crysis, Doom 3, Halo 1, Battlefield, etc.

There is most likely some form of DRM.

What a good game is to one gamer is pretty much crap to another gamer. A "good" game is all preference.

I think you are missing what I'm getting at. A highly graphically game can very well maintain great gameplay that creates fans of that game or franchise.

The person buying the used copy isn't supporting the developer but instead giving money to the person who bought the copy originally.

No, not that. Amazon still offers more options than Gamestop ever will for games.

High graphically oriented games ARE also high quality games that are remembered as gems for years.

Amazon... New copies... offered as physical or digital copies... frequent sales

There are a lot of real gamers who love to see what graphics can do in games.

Closed ecosystems for gaming consoles is helpful when keeping the system free from hacked games, ruined multiplayer experiences, banning accounts for either social behavior or messing with software, et cetera.

Amazon sometimes lets you decide between physical PC copy and digital copy. The games can't be traded/resold if the product is linked to an account, but the option is still there.

Total Biscuit giving a talk on War Z.

At first, I thought you were talking about the Sacred series, Sacred Citadel.
