I'll talk more about this the day after tomorrow (strike's tomorrow), but i can say some stuff now. Number one: companies, especially big companies, are all about moving money. They have shareholders b******* about how they want money, and companies have to keep these slave masters happy, so they throw something together that gamers buy because the are desperate for some good content, and the money made feeds the moneythirsty shareholders. Plus, when the other half of the gaming community gets bored because they played with their new toy for two minutes, companies have to make something new rather than focus on games. I have said and will continue to say that the Wii is completely underdeveloped for. Motion control? Brilliant! If we could get geniuses to make more games, we would have tons of fun! But no, gamers only want new toys, and have the money to force companies to do that.

That's why the majority of games I write are meant to be made by a new company; one that hosts almost everything as open source. That way, fans can say what should be put in new games, and make their own to be published. A little like the Apple Appstore (ultra amazingly brilliant), but for more games. Same with the Wii shop channel. Notice how many games can be in the stores? It is because it isn't the company worrying about those games. I think that that is what we need more of, not necessarily for companies to "smarten up" or "stop milking their fans of money". Fans keep giving money, so we should they stop?
