jesus gamespot, don't go down the kotaku path

why would an online only game need a sequel at all? could they not just maintain the current expansion every so often model?

if there is one thing i do miss about the old school consoles, its turning it on, pressing one button, and playing a game inside of 10 seconds

@paperwarior: glad i'm not the only person who thought that when i read it

@ughz: i'm not a pc gamer, hell i'm not even a gamer, i'm just a guy who likes to play video games. steam wasn't the only reason that game was shit, but when you live in a rural area without internet, steam ain't your fucking friend. christ has a naval invasion happened yet in that game?

Wooohooo, i can finally un-own Empire Total War, the only game in my steam account which was utter shit, for making me use steam when i bought the f*ck mothering game on a disc, in a store.

These people managed to utterly destroy Maxis. Its gone now, how many here realized PC gaming could be awesome because of SimCity? In 2013 DICE could do almost nothing wrong, look at them now. They aren't ever gonna have that level of trust again. With BW we got a Promethean as a preorder bonus, a kotor mmo, and an mmo-lite in the last DA. Being bought by EA is the death knell of your game company.

@cboye18: seems like they tried to bring it back recently (ish) but i don't think the game got out of beta, or maybe alpha, before they pulled the plug on it.

@ShimmeringSword: Exactly, i cannot think of one game dev acquired by them that actually improved. the bio-whore acquisition broke my gaming heart.

" People understand there is a large market [for console gaming]; it's a very engaged market; and it's a market, by the way, that's kind of accepted the 70/30 revenue split [between publishers and developers] that's worked in music and books and others. And all of that implies that if it's not Microsoft and Sony, it might be Apple and Google or someone else that wants to go after gaming."

now this is one of the more interesting statements i've read on gamespot in a while.
