Don't worry! We'll vote with our wallets and it will work this time!
I love it when nerds get mad that video game companies don't give the slightest shit about the wishes of players, developers, or anyone else involved in the game, and just design games based on maximizing shareholder profit. But they never realize that's just what capitalism is.

The flaw in the argument is that if a game, even by a large &/or highly regarded company doesn't make what the customers want , they won't buy it or they won't by there next game. To say they don't "give a shit" is false, they just make safe bets.

The flaw in *that* is that no particular gamer matters to the company. Who cares if you burned a 20 year customer if you also attracted 5 new customers that bump up your quarterly numbers? Even if only 1 of them sticks with it, the company comes out ahead.

Do you not remember the 80s? I wasnt alive then, but coin ops in Arcades were how most games were made for, and they were made hard in order to extract as many quarters as possible
