S - Supply and Demand

The thing that fuels this great country. The business model that makes it all go round. The same thing that seems to be ruining PC gaming.

There are plenty of developers out there that they could be making something for PC, but they aren't. We get told it is because there isn't a market or that PC gamers don't contribute as much money into the industry... but, we all know that's crazy. Rocking out with 500 dollar video cards and PCs valuing well over a thousand bucks, when any Joe Tardbucket can get one at Walmart for 350 bucks. I want a keyboard and mouse set that costs more than one of these consoles... I know they aren't seriously passing us over because we don't put money it.

The problem is we aren't DEMANDING the games like the consolers are. We aren't doing much of anything these days. We take the left over and shitty titles, and we just keep taking it. At this rate you'd think that they'd be lowering the price for PC games, not upping them to the price of the console-counterparts.

I would like to see people start DEMANDING a higher quality of game. Sure they won't start shipping immediately, but at least we could start doing something. We have been treated like shit for long enough now. We need to step it up and start muscling our way in on the console crowd. They are dumbing down gaming to a point where pretty soon we might as well be sleeping during a movie. =X
