I guess someone has to feel that way. It's easy to forget that nearly half the country voted for the dude with the magical underpants too.
Statistics would say otherwise. Just because you are stuck in the past doesn't mean the industry should be.

Learn2context.
You're the only person in this thread thus far who seems to give a rats ass about these companies' profits. By your logic EA games must be the most amazing company to ever exist.

I never mentioned profit. People agreeing on opinions =/ it being right.

For example, most people think you are stupid, but is that correct? No (For arguments sake let us say no, even though you really are).

What "statistics would say otherwise" that don't involve sales AKA profit then? [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Just one link, I'm sure you could find more. To state that the industry is a "crapshoot" is completely false.

That entire article was about how big the "multibillion dollar industry" has become, and statistics about money, money, how many people buy videogames and then a topic after the statistics talking about... money.

I think you really are dumb if you assume companies wouldn't base their product on making money, oh, which would also be towards majority in their product, which would suggest that more people like then hate the product which would mean it isn't a crapshoot, but actually quite successful.

Your opinion isn't the right one all the time, no matter how you want to make it out to be.

Still focusing on profit/sales. I thought you were trying to make a specific point before. I guess I was wrong.
