And you know what else has been around since forever? Drop in quality, not only do we get games with day one DLC for our 60 Quatloos which over the next couple months add up to more $ than the base game they also more often than not contain content that should have been in the base games to begin with.
And if that wouldn't be enough games these days are so incredibly riddled with bugs (often game breaking ones) thanks to the release now patch later (which often never happens....fixing the bugs that is, seriously take a look at how many "tripple A" games these days need community patches because the devs don't do sh*t) mentality that it's not even funny anymore.
And the gaming industry seriously has the balls to whine about income and pirating.....yea, no sympathy from me here, do a better job if you want peoples money.
