Why Are Gamers So Easily Forgiving?

I buy games I'm interested in.  I don't buy a lot of EA sequels because they ruin them but I usually like the first game (i.e. Dead Space 1 is awesome).  Sure, I don't like how Capcom turned RE into an action game but that is not going to stop me from getting Dragon's Dogma.  I buy games based on how quality of the game is, not the company.  Considering there are only a few major game companies I'd really limit myself if I said I'd never again buy a game made or published by EA or Capcom.  Plus, I don't see the point in penalizing those who made the game just because the people making the business decisions don't always make the best ones (such as with DLC or online passes).

Also, gamers already feel too much like they are in charge of the games being made, just look at ME3, you'd think gamers were personally attacked or something.  I don't see this happening with movies, and I've seen a lot of bad movies (which brings up another point where it seems people are a lot more forgiving for a bad movie [just look at Avatar, awful story and one dimensional cookie cutter characters yet look at all the money it brought it] than a bad game).

Dragon's Dogma. The best Capcom game I've played in a long time.

Yup pretty much. It would have been very easy to have two versions of Dark Arisen: $20 DLC version for those that bought the original that is just the expansion, and $40 bundle with game + DLC to garner interest from people that have not bought the game.

But here we are, Capcom giving everyone that bought DD the middle finger since they expect us to buy the game again just to get the extra stuff.

Im surprised how people stay customers to companies that do this. I sure as hell dont feel like buying Capcom games anymore.

[QUOTE="Lulu_Lulu"] But. . . . . But "Muh Splitscreen" ! :( .

Lulu_Lulu

No, and it doesn't have splitscreen either.

You're welcome :P

Companies are going to do what they do and release the games they think are going to make them money.  There are the developers that actually try to pursue excellence with their games and take great pride in what they do and then there are the companies behind the devs pretty much telling them what to do. 

Capcom is a great example of some very talented individuals that sometimes get pretty much forced into situations they can't control.  Do you really think the devs of Street Fighter wanted locked characters and outfits?

Not the case with movies? No I think it is. Have you seen what people did when Dragon Ball Evolution came out? I think they were worse then the people complaining about ME3. Well maybe not worse. But still, it was completely ridiculous.
