I know people will pick sides (and have already done so)... (Gaming)

by General Vagueness , The Vault of Sass, Saturday, September 05, 2015, 20:51 (3366 days ago) @ Cody Miller

Can't we all just blame capitalism?

Yes, because removing the need for profit has totally freed up game developers. Just look at all those groundbreaking games from kickstarter and indie Gogo.

Oh wait…

Kickstarter won't get you $500 million, I don't think anyone's even gotten $5 million through it
I think you're right though, it's not so much about money as it is varying ideas of what would be a good game to make, and you happen to disagree with most of them
