(assuming you’re in your 20s also)

The difference here is Sega is glad to have any kind of relevance to modern Gamers, moreso if they don’t have to be the ones making stuff to keep that mindshare up. ;p

So...death threats right? That’s what happens next, right? To show how much you love this team, their games, and how you can’t possibly live an extra month without it, the only reasonable course of action is to call for the heads of every last developer there, right? It’s the only way they’ll know how much you really,…

Yep, but to be fair, they were making Naruto games way before Asura’s Wrath.

Except the First Amendment isn’t ‘to force entities to publish things they don’t like with publications they own, on their dime’ it’s about government suppression of speech.

I mean, not just one, but TWO Vita games are coming out this week? Then again, according to the 3DS, and the remake of Dragon Age VII,

A Gamer would scream at you, “you pay $300+ every other year for a phone!”

No. If she wanted to date you, she would have. She wants a friend, and you’re a two faced monster if you think you just get to flip a switch because You Don’t Want to Be Alone.

I’d rather know how much the game actually costs, than having the imagery of ‘everything’s A-OK’ and keeping game prices artificially depressed for 10+ years.

We can’t have it both ways. We can’t demand bigger, prettier games and not expect costs to rise in tandem. It just doesn’t work like that.

I was 18 when the Dreamcast came out. It was the first import console I ever played (my dad’s friend let us borrow his), and the first console I bought with my own money.

Right - that’s kinda my point.

Well, once upon a time consoles did make sense. If you wanted a thing to play games, without any complications, and the guarantee that Game X would work on Box X, consoles were the way to go. Consoles were also affordable, and the types of games on consoles were more like expanded-upon arcade titles. Console gaming…

Only now, only with this, do I see Gamers saying, “screw this, I’m on PCs from now on” yet when I was saying this path was the end of consoles’ importance in games months ago, it was “fuck you and your PC Master Racer (tm) snobbery.”

or if you already have a PS4, start investing in PC gaming so once MS and Sony hit their full wannabe-smartphone-release-schedule strides, it won’t matter to you any longer.

Which ultimately means the cost will be put on the consumers. Some way, some how. It’s like taxes - you can levy all the cost increases you want on a company, it just gets passed on to the customer in some form.

These sentiments can’t co-exist:

Welcome to the bright, shiny future Gamers and tech fetishists ushered in for consoles.

I played Spore with my niece, and she really loved it! Specifically being able to make creatures and the swimming/eating part. Once on land, she still had fun but thought it was a little too complicated (she was 7 at the time), and once we hit tribes? Her and I both got bored with it.

Nope, I just want to convey information relevant to topic and comments at hand.
