Eidos May Have Set Bad PS3 Precedent

Ars Technica opines on Eidos' decision to hold off on PS3 games until 2008. Though they make a point of mentioning all of the great steps forward Sony and the PS3 have taken in the last month or so (LittleBigPlanet, Home, the EU launch), they feel this decision may have ramifications for the console. "Though Eidos isn't the most prominent European developer--noteworthy releases for 2006 included the surprisingly decent Just Cause, Tomb Raider: Legend and Hitman: Blood Money--this may set a dangerous precedent for other developers. If Sony doesn't step up to become more proactive at keeping the flow of good games steady, the installed base may not continue to grow quickly enough and developers may begin to pull support, creating a lack of games. This vicious cycle is hard to escape, as Sony has previously learned with the PSP's port problem."

    The only indignity here is the reality that fools like this, the so-called consumers, are allowed to even exist. You fanboi, are a tribute to everything that is wrong with the world.

    You can call me a fool as soon as you figure out how HTML works.

    By the way, it's still an indignity to make people into sheep. So what if there are others that are worse? It doesn't permit you to change the meaning of words to suit your own arrogant idiot ass.

    If you want me to stop existing, then come and try to do something about it. Otherwise, shut your fucking cocktrap. If you had balls big enough to say shit like this to people in real life you would have had your head snapped back already.
