I mean which developer do u think over uses their games and keeps releasing it with new editions or ports my 3 picks are

VALVE-Orange box was fine so you sell it at $60 each for 5 games then for some reason you think people want to pay for each game so you sell each game at $20-30 each.

CAPCOM-Heres an example lost planet hmm 360,ps3,pc now a new edition give it up make a sequel or forget it
also resident evil 4 gc,pc,wii,ps2
and alot of other games

Atari-ex Make dragonball games with minor changes not you release a new game with the same number as the first budokai look at burst limit its exactly like budokai 1 only changes I seen was you can it ppl into teh air and they used the psp gameplay even the specials are the same lol.

SquareEnix with the Final Fantasy franchise and Nintendo with the Mario Franchise. Both release many spinoff titles that aren't really that good.

How is charging $20-30 for a game milking? What are you gonna hold the great bargain of The Orange Box over their heads now or what?

FIrst of all, teh biggest milkers in the world are EA. They release about 8 different sports titles every single year, and other than a roster update, teh changes from year to year are often unnoticed. As for your claims of Squaresoft milking the Final Fantasy games, I find that claim to be rather ridiculous. While there may be hundreds of them, aside from FFX-2, there's never been a direct sequel or Prequel to a final fantasy game. While the gameplay elements may be similar, there's a slew of differences between each and every one, such at ATB, Live-battle, the job system, etc. etc. So no, Square doesn't milk. Hell, tehy reinvent lands, characters, and plot for every single FF. Another milker is Activision. Guitar Hero/Tony Hawk series, anyone?

Nintendo. I remember reading in 2004 that Mario had been in over 80 video games. They are up to Mario Party 8, there have been 6 games in what I would imagine would be the main series (Super Mario Bros 1-3, 64, Sunshine and Galaxy) which are awesome, then there is Super Paper Mario which is a spin off of Paper Mario which was the spiritual successor to Super Mario RPG which was a spin of off the original Mario series and Final Fantasy. A lot of the games are awesome but a lot of them are also crap.

I'm thinking LucasArts with all the Star Wars trash thats coming out now. (for instance, this new star wars movie ... total milkage)

Also my personal favorite to pick on, Mario.

I would say FF, but that would be video game blasphemy for me. :P

EA for one.

Koei - There Dynasty Warriors and Samurai warriors are always rushed rehashed. I admit I'm addicted to these games and use to always buy them. But now they are actually getting worst like EA's Madden games so I just play the old ones. It's a real shame, a nonlinear Dynasty warriors with good group tactical combat(In DW all of your allies are wimps and you have to run around to protect them) I think it could be a beginning of a cool new genre.

how is it milking when they let you give your hl2 and ep1 to someone else? and you can buy just ep2 or tf2 if that's all you want.

ea milks sport games to death, ubi is milking the ghost recon and rainbow 6 series to death, tony hawk has been milked to death and call of duty is on the same path if iw doesn't do something new very soon.

Activision. Instead of letting COD have a long dev cycle. They have 2 devs to make sure its yearl...Which hurts every other product, when every other COD isn't Infinity Ward

and they milk TOny hawk and Guiter Hero

Square and Nintendo with Final Fantasy and Mario

Insomniac with Ratchet(im sorry the franchise is a giant rehash now). good game, but its not AAA or anything special anymore.

Mario spinoffs suck

But the Mario platformers are amazing. Especially Super Mario Galaxy which is probably the 2nd best game this gen behind GTA 4.

Also the Mario RPGs and Mario Kart games are a blast as well.

Where as games like Dirge of Cerberuas, Final Fantasy Chrystal chronicles suck

and its just getting annoying with how many times they have remade FF 1-6 on handhelds.

As much as i loved the 2d Mario's id have to say Ninty. They cant go for 20 years and still be on the same formula with the same characters. Onlt problem is they are. But probably in first place EA SPORTS for obvios reasons.

Square for Final Fantasy, Nintendo for the Mario SPINOFFS (not the real games), and EA for their sports games...

Capcom and SEGA are also pretty bad for re-releasing old games, SEGA has release HoTD on every console known to man, and they are remaking Dreamcast games for Wii, which is fine by me...if they used decent games...

EA.

Was the Sims, the thousands of expansion packs and thousands o Sims expansions packs needed? Then finally sales of the Sims went down...

To be replaced by THE SIMS 2 AND EXPANSION PACKS >:(

The good thing is that The Sims 2 sales will go down soon :)

To be replaced by The Sims 3 sales. The Sims is the biggest cash cow series ever.

I disagree with Valve, not everyone will want the whole orange box and some people already had halflife1 and halflife 2 on pc. as much as I love Capcom, they are the greatest milker of them all . Everybody remembers Street Fighter 2, Street Fighter 2 Championship Ed, Street Fighter 2 Turbo, Super Street Fighter 2, Super Street Fighter 2 Turbo.....that's just for one game.

EA (i say this because any game that is released, and the only improvements are a new year on the cover and updated rosters is definately milking big time)

Square (remaking every game they already made with minor improvements instead of releasing new games)

Blizzard starcraft 2 nuff said

nintendo lets see in the past we have seen so many pokemon iterations it makes squares milking look tame. see also nintendo releasing the same games with minor graphic improvements: zelda, metroid, mario, smash brothers, mario kart. (not bashing the fun factor, but really, these are the same games we have been playing for years now)

Bungie do i even need to explain?

Epic see bungie

Sony milking the gran turisimo demo........charging over half price of a normal game for a freaking demo.....sony wins as the biggest milkers in my opinion.

[QUOTE="kemar7856"]i just realized theirs like 50 ff games and chessy mario games AgentA-Mi6
Square Enix makes great Spin Offs, Mario games are just Trash Now ***IMO***

I agree with AgentA-Mi6, Square Enix spin offs are ok with me. Mario games are definetly annoying. However I dont consider it milkage. Niether is releasing RE4 on all platforms. The wii version may be milkage... however it does bring a lot to the table for the wii release.

I dont believe sequels quilify as milkage, milkage is like giving you something and then draining you for basically the same product with minimal improvements. Microtransactions in any game is milkage. Pokemon red/blue can be considered milkage because they are same game, same platform but you have to get both to get all pokemon if you dont have a friend with it.

EA's sport games I consider milkage because, unlike other sequals/spin offs there is mostly nothing new other then a few tweaks and roster update. FF spin offs revel for of the FF7 story, add characters etc (whether or not they are high quality is something else).

Milkage is anything that gives you the same experience but makes you pay for it again. Sequels are not milkage, just a developer screwing up. Milkage is like when they release GoW and then maybe rerelase GoW with exclusive content. (AN EXAMPLE)
