Piracy, Not Consoles, Killed the PC Exclusive

Anno 2070 too sold over 700 000 copies, and there's nothing mainstream about it. There is still a market for riskier, more niche games, publishers just have to ensure their games are top quality in order for it to succeed in that market.

Granted, 700k isn't bad at all. However when you compare it to the likes of MW3 which is currently sitting on +- 13 million units sold, then it's pretty easy to see why developers and publishers would rather churn out generic mediocre games rather than aiming for the riskier more "intelligent" alternatives.

I mean, even f***ing Dance Central is sitting on +-2.6 million units sold.
 
Yeah, that's unfortunately also why 2 out of every 3 games is a shooter nowadays. The masses like shooters, so publishers develop shooters.

It's a pity, especially because the few developers who still venture into some of the other genres don't have exceptionally good sales. Take 1C, as an example, they make rather good turn-based strategy games from time to time, but they never really sell very good.

Actually, no. When neither side pisses their pants over something petty the internet is one of the most valid places for debates and arguments.

Also, as someone who has two close relatives who are mentally challenged, I find that pic not only tasteless, but downright offensive and disgusting.

For somebody who spend so much time arguing on the internet you have lived a sheltered life hey?
 
No, I am aware that the internet has no inhibitions. I also believe that acting barbaric cannot be excused because the rest of the internet doesn't care. Do you act racist at home because the majority of South Africa loves acting racist?

I honestly don't see what's so funny or okay about making jokes about people who are mentally handicapped. What's so funny about having a crippling disorder which ensures you can never lead a normal life? I don't see the big joke.

The picture is not making fun of disabled people, it makes fun of people like those in this thread.
I find it funny that people spend hours of their time rehashing the same arguments over and over again. I guess I'm a sucker for a good analogy.
 
Stating that someone with a mental disability is a retard no matter what he accomplishes in life is totally not dickish? Okay.

I don't mind people slagging each other off, but why do it in a way that screams cunt? Rather just tell people you think they're morons outright.

Besides, you're the one who posted an insult to us in the thread more than a day after the dust had already settled.
