I'm no expert, but after reading all that I can't help but think the gaming business needs to simplify, and that it's reaching a point of diminishing returns with all the crazy stuff that happens with pre-orders and what not. Can't help but wonder too if they're training their customers in some really unrealistic expectations and/or wants, so when shit hits the fan, it's even worse than it might otherwise be. Think about those Turtle Beach ads... 'Hear everything, defeat everyone?' Is that the attitude out there right now - why gamers buy anything at all? Better make sure you appeal to their egos in such a crass way?
It really just makes everything look so darn silly. I know I've drastically reduced my AAA buying habits, knowing that DLC and things of that nature are things I'll want (games really aren't $60 anymore, are they?). I used to be all over buying games on release, but now, the next one won't be until Bioshock in March. Looked at Halo 4 on Amazon yesterday for $40, and I still have trepidation over it. How many others are out there like me?
Maybe more of this is my wife having similar tastes in games as me (which means two copies of Bioshock - lol), but I think it would've happened regardless of her.
