well have you ever thought about buying certain magazines that have disks with all the recent demo's on them , ........

of course since the games in the bargain bin are not recent games, that doesnt help much.

Well, generally I think the quality of games have dropped. I know, that gaming industry is suffering and in trouble now, except maybe EA games. Cutting down, and the worrying policy of hiring new folks straight from what ever university, or people with not enough experience.. so they can pay them less in salaries, and the vet coders etc have been in a place where they have to whore to be able to keep jobs. Meaning they'll drop their own salaries very much, very very much.

So all this is bad business IMO in long run. There are good games coming out all the time, but considering what it should be, I think the general quality has dropped so much, that I'm not just simply willing to buy many games. I used to actually buy almost all my games.
Now, there's so much crap there, that I don't know what to get. I don't have time to read all the gaming magazines, and I guess I've grown to be a demanding consumer when it comes to games. I just think many of them don't push hard enough to make better games.

I want all the factors of a good game, so that I'll actually take the time to play it and get excited about it. And that's what I want from a game, I want to be entertained and interested about it. I can think of better things to do, if the game fails to truly interest me. I can't afford to buy all the games that sounds good, because maybe 10% I actually really like. And you don't know what you get when you buy a game, until you play it. I don't have time to hunt them down and download trailers and betas when it comes to unknown games. I rather download the whole game and try it out.

But, I still buy the same amount of games, I just buy the ones that I really like. I know I don't have the moral highground here, but that's what I do and I don't feel bad about it. I buy the quality games that I feel like is worth the money. And the ones I download and feel they are not good games, then I don't play them! I'll delete them wihtin the same day I try it. Simple.
