That last line is my biggest concern. I've been gaming since the early 80's and it's ridiculous watching all the talent and studios be sucked up and shit out by quarterly profits. After 20 some odd years in the tech industry you'd think I'd be hardened against it, but video games were always my escape from the mundanity of daily life, now that same shit is spilling in to my hobby. What a fucking joke the industry is becoming. I honestly hope for another large collapse like the Atari years. There's enough indie devs out there to keep us playing while the biggest players sulk off to other "investment opportunities".
