That’s the exact problem that we’re talking about.

Being so shortsighted for this quarters numbers, while also not giving a shit about the only thing that actually brings you money.

The consumer.

This is failing because business doesn’t take that into account, and down the line it absolutely plays a part. Let’s keep focusing on milking these 4 “AAA” franchises, and also buy up as many independent studios as we can just to shut them down, that surely won’t have an effect on the industry.

The consumer is the whole godamn point. You don’t get profit without them. They (we) smell this bullshit, and it doesn’t smell good.

It’s not a long term strategy and it never was supposed to be.
