  15. Console's survive without them on Mods: "Lifeblood of Gaming Industry"? · · Score: 1


    PC games have the right audience for them, tweakers, hackers, people who share mods.

    There's a lack of quality music in the stores right now, or else I'd be buying some. What do we have now? Not much, but at least this boy band thing is over...

    Don't they realise that they have slumps just like every other industry, not to mention we aren't in the best economic situation.
