A letter to Square

An interesting and in-depth look at the gaming industry trends right now compared to the past. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XZxXEidtxHk

Wow. What a complete waste of 30 minutes of my life.

30 minutes of comparing apples to oranges to prove a false point, abuse of hyperbole to make things look a lot worse than they are, alarmism, conspiracy theories, radical bias, good games defined "crappy titles" for mysterious reasons, mostly misguided EA-hate, valve-can-do-no-wrong crap, completely misplaced idealization of the "good old times" (when everything was perfect out of the box right? LOL) and absolutely ludicrous predictions sprinkled with factually wrong information and topped by a bit of financial bullshitting.

And just LOL at the argument about used games. They could have titled the video "I have no clue but I can talk for 30 minutes in a row, yay".

If anyone wants to actually understand the game industry (and not a bunch of angry fanboy rants piecemailed together in something with only the appearance of semi-coherent discourse), do yourself a favor and don't click on that link.
