The funny thing is that a few years further back, before the industry finally added the last straw for you, we use to talk about all the stuff going on in the industry on IRC only it was me that was doing most of the bitching. ;)

I'd probably bitch about it more if I wasn't content with just boycotting the assholes by and far. They may not notice the lost revenue, but I certainly notice the freed up cash to spend on other hobbies. Of course, I do still end up buying the occasional game that has a lot of DLC whoring going on despite my efforts to avoid them. (The whole slow-drip DLC release BS I'm sure I've mentioned at some point.)

But by and large they're suffering a net loss in revenue from me thanks to their greed and inability to budget. The biggest hit by my boycotting has probably been NIS America. I was just starting to buy their games direct, collector editions to boot, just as they started to show their colors. (Ar Tonelico 3 and Hyper Dimension Neptunia) and just as quickly I stopped giving them money. In fact it was those two games that pretty much intensified my boycotting efforts when they forced me to say to myself "So this is what my 90 dollar purchases DIDN'T buy me." as I looked at the fucking pages of DLC.
