The music industry thinks that everyone is a pirate.
"Rights management restrictions have created a barrier for consumers" while having absolutely no influence on people who pirate music. Short discussion, huh?
I can't speak for everyone, but one thing that I've come to realize is that all these game companies are slowly turning us into selling points. Example: when is the last time you saw a multiplayer game that didn't advertise its awesome PVP play? Or when was the last time a single player game was released? I'm not one of the many many people who enjoy such things as PVP and forced social networking. I went in search of a MMO that didn't advertise PVP as it's main attraction, and came up severely disappointed.
So after that search turned up nothing, I ventured into the other types of Multiplayer games, 4-16 people type games. Unless I want to duke it out with pistols and bazookas with other people, I'd be disappointed here as well. RPG type games have all but dried up, the only ones remaining are old classics like warcraft and diablo. The rest don't do anything to set a up a new rung on the ladder.
If your search takes you further than this, you'll find yourself at the end of the road. Unless you want to build a rollercoaster park or your neighborhood reputation, then of course you've got a bit more to wade through.
Anyone else tired of trying to play games where you're forced to compete with people who have too much free time and not enough education? The l33t are dominating any non social aspect of every game. Where do the rest of us go?
