Jso sez that all the ad money goes right into the pockets of the EA FAT CAT EXECUTIVES (see let me tell you idiots how it works, the corporations finance Team America, and they're all corporationy, and they make money........ hm?). But qt3 hates in-game advertising for all the wrong reasons, that is they see themselves as THE ENLIGHTENED NEW WAY much like in Warrior of the Lost World, and qt3 is like very socialist because they care and are very compassionate to fellow man unless Tom Chick does not approve you. So they really are socialists, as in they are the most repressive and elitist message board possible, and are never afraid and in fact a little too eager, like they get some sort of piss drinking sexual excitement, from sending people off to the gulags if they don't subscribe to the groupthink. DO YOU THINK THE "ENLIGHTENED" NEW WAY HAS TAKEN THE BAIT? *bald*
Exactly. $60 in 1996 would be over $80 today. I'm not paying $80 a pop for a fucking video game, when only 1 in 10 is actually finished at release time and so forth. (Except for Fallout 3, as previously explained, ha ha.)
EA has three options to account for inflation:
1) Charge $80 for these things (unacceptable to us)
2) Make nothing but quality games that are inarguably must-haves (unacceptable to them)
3) Put in ads (unacceptable to idiots on a hundred gaming forums)
But if you asked some of these morons, they'd either say that they would GLADLY spend eighty or ninety bucks for a game "if it meant no ads" (and then include a crack about DRM for the hell of it) or else just channel the petulance of a spoiled fourth-grader and expect EA to take the losses and get into selling rainbow rides and centaur-fucking to stay profitable.
the dark and gritty...Ice Cream Jonsey!
