"Halo 5 Microtransactions"

owsf2000's post. My comment.

Same. Old. Shit.

Going by the metaphor of "spiraling down the toilet" or whatever, the video game industry is already far past that and is well on its way to the sewage treatment plant by this point in time. The sewage treatment plant, in this metaphor, is (hopefully) another gigantic industry crash, like the one I've been waiting and hoping for, for a long while now. Such a game industry crash would be a regular Roman fucking holiday for me.

(EDIT)

Seriously, *fuck* the modern video game industry.

That's the tweet that is now pinned to my Twitter profile, and likely will remain so for the far-reaching, nebulous future.
